Answer:

RE of Hydrogen = 6.47 x RE of Krypton

Explanation:

Actually the correct formula for comparing rate of effusion (RE) of two gases is:

RE of Gas A

------------------- = √ ( Molar mass of B / Molar mass of A)

RE of Gas B

You can designate which of the two gases you have (hydrogen and krypton) will be your gas A and gas B. So for this particular problem, let us make hydrogen as gas A and Krypton as gas B. So the equation becomes:

RE of Hydrogen

------------------------- = √ (Molar mass of Krypton / Molar mass of Hydrogen)

RE of Krypton

Get the molar masses of Hydrogen and Krypton in the periodi table:

RE of Hydrogen

------------------------- = √ (83.798 g/mol / 2 g/mol)

RE of Krypton

RE of Hydrogen

------------------------- = 6.47 ====> this can also be written as:

RE of Krypton

RE of Hydrogen = 6.47 x RE of Krypton

It means that the rate of effusion of Hydrogen gas will be 6.47 faster than the rate of effusion of Krypton gas. With the type of question you have, it doesn't matter which gases goes on your numerator and denominator. What's important is that you show the rate of effusion of a gas with respect to the other. But if that's concerns you the most, then take the gas which was stated first as your gas A and the latter as your gas B unless the problem tells you which one will be on top and which is in the bottom.

Answer: liquid

explanation: 1 liter is a measurement of liquids, not solids, or gases.
Liquids also have a set volume, but can flow to take the shape of the bottom of their container.

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to a larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some p

Savatey [412]

Answer:

c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction

Explanation:

When the box finally does break loose. Then the component of the box weight which is parallel to the board weight parallel component, is equal to the $\mu_gn$ .

$w_{box}=\mu_gn$

For the box to acce;erate thee must be non-zero net force acting on the box parallel to the board. Or we can say,

$w_1>f_g\\w_1>\mu_gn$

Therefore the force of kinetic friction must be less than the force of static friction. Thus,

$\mu_g$

A block of mass 9.2kg rests on a slope an angle of 26.9∘ relative to the horizontal. What is the size of the contact force norma

Olegator [25]

Answer:

80.4 N

Explanation:

As the block is at rest on the slope, it means that all the forces acting on it are balanced.

We are only interested in the forces that act on the block along the direction perpendicular to the slope. Along this direction, we have two forces acting on the block:

- The normal reaction N (contact force), upward

- The component of the weight of the block, $mg cos \theta$ , downward, where m is the mass of the block, g is the gravitational acceleration and $\theta$ is the angle of the incline

Since the block is in equilibrium along this direction, the two forces must balance each other, so they must be equal in magnitude:

$N=mg cos \theta$

And by substituting the numbers into the equation, we find the size of the contact force normal to the slope:

$N=(9.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(cos 26.9^{\circ})=80.4 N$

Pilots depend on the precision of ------------------------- systems to guide them when they have limited visibility. PLEASE ANSW

kogti [31]

Answer:

Pilots depend on the precision of INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEMS to guide them when they have limited visibility.

Explanation:

A pilot is a professionally trained individual that has the ability to control an aircraft following directions from a flight control.

Instrument landing system is a guidance system that makes available an instrument based procedures for guiding the pilot of an aircraft to approach and land safely. This system guides the pilot during unfavorable conditions such as low visibility through the use of radio signals.

There are two types of guidance provided by this system:

-> Lateral guidance subsystem and

-> Vertical guidance subsystem.

Lateral guidance subsystem prevents the aircraft approaching a runway to shift laterally from the path recommended.

Vertical guidance subsystem prevents the aircraft approaching a runway to shift laterally from the recommended path.

In an experiment, a torque of a known magnitude is exerted along the edge of a rotating disk. The disk rotates about its center.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

B) The amount of time the torque is applied to the disk, because the time interval is related to the angular impulse of the disk.

Explanation:

Angular impulse = Torque x time

= change in angular momentum

So,

Torque x time = change in angular momentum

change in angular momentum = Torque x time

Torque is already known .

Hence to know the change in angular momentum what is needed to know is time duration of torque acting on the body .
