Answer: Hello there! The standard unit of work in the metric system, the joule, is named after the James Prescott Joule (1819 -1889), where a joule is j = \frac{kg*m}{s^{2} }. He was a physicist who did a lot of work with thermodynamics, for example, he worked on the Joule-Thomson effect.

Over many years a limestone surface is exposed to slightly acidic rain. Which result is likely to occur in the limestone
kvasek [131]

Answer:

calcium carbonate is transformed into calcium sulfate

Explanation:

Limestone stones are formed by calcium carbonate (Ca Co3), when acid rain falls with a little H2SO2, a chemical reaction of the type

          Ca Co3 + H2SO4 → CO2 + H2O + CaSo4

Calcium sulfate is much weaker than alatium carbonate, which is why the stone tends to break under its weigh

What is the mass, in kilograms, of an avogadro's number of people, if the average mass of a person is 150 lb ?
Nikolay [14]
First step is to convert the lb to kg as follows:
1 lb = 0.45 kg
Therefore, 150 lb = 150 x 0.45 = 67.5 kg

Avogadro's number = 6.02 x 10^23

Mass of Avogadro's number of people = 6.02 x 10^23 x 67.5  
                                                              = 4.0635 x 10^25 kg

The reaction energy of a reaction is the amount of energy released by the reaction. It is found by determining the difference in
solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

For general projectile motion, when the projectile is at the highest point of its trajectory, its acceleration is zero? A)The ho
Daniel [21]

Answer:

B) Its velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration.

Explanation:

For general projectile motion, the horizontal acceleration is 0 and the vertical acceleration is -g.  This is true for all points on the trajectory.

At the highest point, the vertical velocity is 0.  So you have only a horizontal velocity as well as a vertical acceleration.  So the two are perpendicular.

relative to the floor, what potential energy does a 2.5 kg package have that sits on a shelf 2.2 m high
Kobotan [32]
Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
                             =    2.5 x 9.8 x 2.2
                             =          53.9 J.

Hope this helps!
