What force opposes gravity and keeps objects from falling to the center of the earth?

La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

Answer:

90.2%

Explanation:

% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100%

% yield = (312/346)*100% = 90.2%

Select the correct empirical formula for each molecular formula given.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

CH₂O

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula shows the actual whole number ratio of elements present in compound.

Given molecular formula: C₆H₁₂O₆

Empirical formula = CH₂O

In molecular formula six moles of carbon six moles of oxygen and 12 moles of hydrogen are present.

To get the smallest whole number we divide the each number by 6 and we get CH₂O which is empirical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆.

Consider the following reaction
aliina [53]

Answer:

d, 40 dm3.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's law, the mole ratio of chemicals in a reaction is equal to the ratio of volumes of chemicals reacted (for gas).

From the equation, the mole ratio of N2 : H2 : NH3 = 1 : 3 : 2, meaning 1 mole of N2 reacts completely with 3 moles of H2 to give 2 moles of NH3, the ratio of volume required is also equal to 1 : 3 : 2.

Considering both N2 and H2 have 30dm3 of volume, but 1 mole of N2 reacts completely with 3 moles of H2, so we can see H2 is limiting while N2 is in excess. Using the ratio, we can deduce that 10dm3 equals to 1 in ratio (because 3 moles ratio = 30dm3).

With that being said, all H2 has reacted, meaning there's no volume of H2 left.  2 moles of NH3 is produced, meaning the volume of NH3 produced = 10 x 2 = 20 dm3. (using the ratio again)

1 mole of N2 has reacted, meaning from the  30dm3, only 10 dm3 has reacted. This also indicate that 20 dm3 of N2 has not been reacted.

So at the end, the mixture contains 20dm3 of NH3, and 20 dm3 of unreacted N2. Hence, the answer is d, 40 dm3.
