Explain how atomic mass and molecular mass are determined

1 answer:

4 0

Molecular mass may be calculated by taking the atomic mass of each element present and multiplying it by the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula. Then, the number of atoms of each element is added together. This value may be reported as a decimal number or as 16.043 Da or 16.043 amu.

The atmosphere of Jupiter is essentially made up of hydrogen, H2. For H2, the specific gas constant is 4157 J/(kg K). The accele

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

h=17357.9m

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is just related to the weight of an arbitrary column of gas in the atmosphere above a given area. So, if you are higher in the atmosphere less gass will be over you, which means you are bearing less gas and the pressure is less.

To calculate this, you need to use the barometric formula:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{Mg}{RT}h}$

Where R is the gas constant, M the molar mass of the gas, g the acceleration of gravity, T the temperature and h the height.

Furthermore, the specific gas constant is defined by:

$R_{H_2}=\frac{R}{M}$

Therefore yo can write the barometric formula as:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}$

at the surface of the planet (h =0) the pressure is $P_0[\tex]. The pressure at the height requested is half of that:[tex]P=\frac{P_0}{2}$

applying to the previuos equation:

$\frac{P_0}{2} =P_0e^{-\frac{g}{R_{H_2}T}h}$

solving for h:

h=17357.9m

The elevator accelerates upward (in the positive direction) from rest at a rate of 1.95 m/s2 for 2.15 s. Calculate the tension i

sammy [17]

The mass is missing. The mass of the elevator is 1650 kg.

Answer:

The tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the elevator (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration in the upward direction (a) = 1.95 m/s²

Time taken by the elevator (t) = 2.15 s

Mass of the elevator and persons (m) = 1650 kg

Let the tension in the cable wire be 'T' Newtons.

Now, there are 2 forces acting in the vertical direction. One is tension in the upward direction and the other the weight of the elevator in the downward direction.

As the elevator is accelerating upward, the net force acts in the upward direction.

So, net force on the elevator is given as:

$F_{net}=T-mg$

Now, from Newton's second law, net force equals mass times acceleration.

$F_{net}=ma\\\\T-mg=ma\\\\T=m(g+a)$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'T'. This gives,

$T=1650\ kg(9.8+1.95)\ m/s^2\\\\T=1650\times11.75\ N\\\\T=19387.5\ N$

Therefore, the tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Without the force of friction, people would not be able to walk. a. True b. False

Harrizon [31]

that statement is true. In walking process, we need the force of friction so our feet could pushed back agains the ground. Without the force of friction it would be really hard to stand. And even we could stand, we will be sliding all over the place when we try to walk.

Which of the following is the most likely end for a star that formed from a very small nebular cloud? . . Black hole . . Planeta

vekshin1

The answer for this question would be Planetary Nebula.

Black holes are created when the star core has a mass of more than 2.5 times of the Sun. In Supernova, for stars with mass of more than 8 times the mass of the Sun, death is signalled by a gigantic explosion: during the first second it can be as bright as a whole galaxy with hundreds of billions of stars. In Red Giants, it is due to explosion of average stars like the Sun. Lastly, in Planetary Nebula, for small stars (that is less than 8 times the mass of the Sun), at the end of the Red Giant phase, the star can’t contract enough to generate the temperatures needed for further nuclear fusion.
