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.

A stock solution has a concentration of 1.5 M NaCl and is diluted to a 0.80 M solution with a volume of 0.10 L. What volume of t
ioda

Answer:

0.053 L  is the volume of concentrated solution that was used

Explanation:

Let's determine the answer of this, by rules of three.

There is also a dilution formula.

Molarity is a sort of concentration that indicates the moles of solute in 1L of solution.

In 1 L of concentrated solution, there are 1.5 moles of NaCl

In 1 L of diluted solution, there are 0.80 moles.

The volume for the diluted solution is 0.10L

The rule of three will be:

1L of solution has 0.80 moles of solute

Then, 0.10L of solution must have (0.1 . 0.8)/1 = 0.08 moles

This moles came from the concentrated solution, and we know that in 1L of this solution we have 1.5 moles. Therefore the rule of three will be:

1.5 moles are in 1L of solution

0.08 moles were in (0.08 . 1L / 1.5) = 0.053 L (This is the volume of concentrated solution that was used)

Dilution formula is: M conc . Vol conc = M diluted . Vol diluted

1.5 M . Vol conc = 0.80 M . 0.10L

Vol conc = 0.80 M . 0.10L / 1.5M = 0.053L

What is the mass of and object with a volume of 100 cm3 and a density of 10 g/cm3?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

1000 g

Explanation:

d = m/v

We are given d: 10g/cm3

and v: 100cm3

Plug them into the equation to get 10 = m/100

Then, cross multiply 10x100 to get mass which is: 1000g

What is the product of the reaction of hydrobromic acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of acid and ether?
sergejj [24]

Answer: The major product of the reaction between Hydrobromic Acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of ether and acid is 2,2-dibromobutane.

Explanation:

The mechanism of the reaction is supported by the Markovnikov's rule which explains that in the addition reaction of alkenes by hydrogen-halogen compounds, the incoming halogen substituent goes to the more substituted Carbon. It can also be stated that incoming hydrogen atom goes to the Carbon with more Hydrogen atoms.

The only case when the reverse of Markovnikov's rule takes place is when Hydrogen peroxide is present and the addition reagent is HBr.

This case is not like that and it simply follows the Markovnikov's rule.

I'll add an attachment of the reaction to this now.
