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.

What is the approximate molar mass of a molecular solute if 300 g of the solute in 1000 g of water causes the solution to have a
valentina_108 [34]
Answer is: <span>the approximate molar mass of a molecular solute is 150 g.
</span>m(molecular solute) = 300 g.
m(water) = 1000 g ÷ 1000 g/kg = 1 kg.
ΔT = 101°C - 100°C = 1°C.
M(molecular solute) = Kb · m(molecular solute) / m(water) · ΔT.
M(molecular solute) = 0,512°C/m · 300 g / (1 kg · 1°C).
M(molecular solute) = 153,6 g/mol.

Calculate the number of atoms present in .20 moles of H20.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

20 moles = (96.7+)

345%20 moles inter = h20

h2+345%20 moles

kalkadanc = jani+CARSORI

564 MOLES

Explanation

we have to plus the moles that we can get the answer and u should now the formula of kalkadanc and just % will get to the correct answer.

i think u may understand and this is the correct answer i had practice this too much

In an acid-base titration experiment, 50 mL of a 0.05 M solution of acetic acid (Ka= 1.75 x 10-5 ) was titrated with a 0.05M sol
Viktor [21]

Answer:

(3) 5.36

Explanation:

Since this is a titration of a weak acid before reaching equivalence point, we will have effectively a buffer solution. Then we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to answer this question.

The reaction is:

HAc + NaOH ⇒ NaAc + H₂O

V NaOH = 40 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.040 L

mol NaOH reacted with HAc = 0.040 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.002 mol

mol HAC originally present = 0.050 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.0025 mol

mol HAc left after reaction = 0.0025 - 0.002 = 0.0005

Now that we have calculated the quantities of the weak acid and its conjugate base in the buffer, we just plug the values into the equation

pH = pKa + log ((Ac⁻)/(HAc))

(Notice we do not have to calculate the molarities of  Ac⁻ and HAc because the volumes cancel in the quotient)

pH = -log (1.75 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.002/0.0005) = 5.36

THe answer is 5.36

PLEASE PLEASE ANY CHEMISTRY EXPERT!! HELP NEEDED. See attached.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

1st)  one are homogenous because the have the same kind of force 9 London force ) all the hydrocarbons are nonpolar and have a London force between their molecules

 so pentane dissolve in hexane (like dissolves like )

2nd )  CBr4  has a tetrahedral shape its a nonpolar compound (London bond )

           but  the water is polar molecules  has a  ( hydrogen bond ) its  molecular shape (bent shape)  . Both do not dissolve in each other because they have a different kinds of bond so they are  <u>not a homogenous solution </u>.

3rd) its a homogenous because the water can dissolve the ionic bonds between the Li (  cation ) and  (NO3 -1  anion ).

4th ) here we can say alcohol can dissolve in a little amount why ?

  1.     pentane has a London force bond
  2. Alcohol has two different parts  first  part  has OH making hydrogen bond which cant dissolve in the pentane different kinds of bonds ,and the other part -CH3 has a London force bond that can dissolves easily in the pentane
  3. so  one part dissolves but  the other part  can't dissolve so the two compound are slightly dissolves in each other  that which mean its <u>not a homogenous solution </u>
