If motion starts and stops at the same place is this distance zero ?

1 answer:

8 0

Displacement is zero. Displacement is in reference to the starting and ending positions, so starting and ending in the same place would cause a net displacement of zero. Distance, however, is not zero. It is a measurement of the total amount moved, so if the object left the starting position, the distance is automatically not zero.

Three isotopes of sulfur are sulfur-32, sulfur-33, and sulfur-34. write the complete symbol for each isotope, including the atom

Maurinko [17]

Sulfur is an element in the periodic table that has a chemical symbol of S. This element is the 16th element in periodic table. This means that the atomic number or number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to 16.

The number following the name of the element is the mass number. The following are the complete symbol that are arranged as follows:
chemical symbol - atomic number - mass number

*Sulfur-32
S - 16 - 32

*Sulfur-33
S - 16 - 33

*Sulfur-34
S - 16 - 34

Would a thermos without a lid with water in it be an open or closed system? I'm so confused... also please explain your answer,

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

. A closed system allows only energy transfer but no transfer of mass. Example: a cup of coffee with a lid on it, or a simple water bottle. ... In reality, a perfectly isolated system does not exist, for instance hot water in a thermos flask cannot remain hot forever.

Write the molecular formula for a compound with the possible elements C, H, N and O that exhibits a molecular ion at M

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$= \mathbf{C_3H_6O}$

Explanation:

From the given information, since the molecular mass of the ion M+ is not given;

Let's assume M+ = 58.0423

So, by applying the 13th rule;

we will need to divide the mass by 13, after dividing it;

The quotient n = no. of carbon; &

The addition of the quotient (n) with the remainder r = no. of hydrogen.

So;

$\dfrac{58}{13}= 4 \ remainder \ 6$

So;

$C_nH_{n+r} = C_4H_{4+6}$

$= C_4H_{10}$

From the given information; we have oxygen present, so since the mass of oxygen = 16, we put oxygen in the molecular formula by removing $CH_4$ . Also, since the mass is an even number then Nitrogen is 0.

So, we have:

$= \mathbf{C_3H_6O}$
