Assuming that the gas acts like an ideal gas so that the molar volume is Vm = 22.4 L / moles, we can calculate for the number of moles.

number of moles = 6 L / (22.4 L / mol) = 0.2679 moles

 

So the molar mass of this gas is:

molar mass = 8 g / 0.2679 moles = 29.9 g/mol

 

The value is around 32 g/mol which is the molar mass of oxygen. Therefore the answer is:

A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0   ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t   ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt=  6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

==>

Which of the following does NOT represent Newton’s second law? Question 20 options: a = m/Fnet m = Fnet/a Fnet = ma a = Fnet/m
Natali [406]

Answer:

a=m/f is not an equation under newton's second law

Explanation:

newton's second law of motion is represented using: f=ma

where a=v-u/t

therefore it becomes,f=m(v-u)/t

from f=ma,

a will become f/m,

m will become f/a

List three reasons that rain predictions made by meteorologists are sometimes incorrect. Explain your response.
Agata [3.3K]
1. <span>the low pressure is moving slower than expected.
This make the meteorologist receive premature data which make them fail to interpret the data correctly and make the wronf prediction.
2. Sudden change in wind direction, which transfer the natural occurence into other region than where it initially predicted
3. We still haven't developed the methodology to 100% predict natural occurence</span>
