Answer:

Mass = 2734.875 kg

Explanation:

Given that A water holding tank measures 85 m long, 55 m wide, and 9 m deep.

The volume = 85 × 55 × 9 =

= 42075 m^3

Traces of mercury have been found in the tank, with a concen- tration of 65 mg/L.

1 m^3 = 1000 L

Convert cubic meters to litres.

42075 × 1000 = 42075000 L

From definition of density,

Density = mass ÷ volume.

Substitute the given density and the calculated density into the formula

65 = mass ÷ 42075000

Cross multiply

Mass = 65 × 42075000

Mass = 2734875000 mg

Convert mg to kg

To do that, you will divide the answer by 1000000

2734875000 ÷ 1000000

= 2734.875 kg

A suspended object A is attracted to a charged object B, can one conclude that A is charged? Explain

irinina [24]

Explanation:

In my view, when the Object A is attracted to a Charged object B. Object B should be Negatively or Positively charged. So Object B should be the Opposite charged according to the Object B

Example =

If Object B is Negatively Charged, the Object A should be Positively Charged

If the Object B is Positively Charged, the Object A should be Negatively Charged

Sometimes it can Mix as a Neutral as well

Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe

Ede4ka [16]

The final velocity ( $v_1_f$ ) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut ( $v_2_f$ ) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.

The given parameters;

Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
Mass of the ball, = m
Speed of the ball, = u
Final velocity of the first astronaut, = $v_f_1$
Final velocity of the second astronaut, = $v_f_2$

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f$

if v₂ > v₁, then $v_1_f > v_2_f$ , to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity ( $v_1_f$ ) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut ( $v_2_f$ ) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal

Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

$\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j$

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

$v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so $v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}$ , and the horizontal distance <em>x</em> that it covers after time <em>t</em> is

$x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t$

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

$103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s$

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time <em>t</em> is

$v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt$

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

So, the initial velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which carries an initial speed of

$\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

and direction <em>θ</em> such that

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}$

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

$y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2$

so that when it lands in the seats at <em>t</em> ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

$y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}$

If 1.00 mol of argon is placed in a 0.500-L container at 28.0 ∘C , what is the difference between the ideal pressure (as predict

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.98 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 28.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (28 + 273.15) K = 301.15 K

n = 1

V = 0.500 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol

Applying the equation as:

P × 0.500 L = 1 ×0.0821 L atm/ K mol × 301.15 K

⇒P (ideal) = 49.45 atm

Using Van der Waal's equation

$\left(P+\frac{an^2}{V^2}\right)\left(V-nb\right)=nRT$

R = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol

Where, a and b are constants.

For Ar, given that:

So, a = 1.345 atm L² / mol²

b = 0.03219 L / mol

So,

$\left(P+\frac{1.345\times \:1^2}{0.500^2}\right)\left(0.500-1\times 0.03219\right)=1\times 0.0821\times 301.15$

$P+\frac{1.345}{0.25}=\frac{24.724415}{0.46781}$

$P=\frac{24.724415}{0.46781}-\frac{1.345}{0.25}$

⇒P (real) = 47.47 atm

Difference in pressure = 49.45 atm - 47.47 atm = 1.98 atm
