Answer:

<em>The volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of mass of a body to the corresponding volume of that body. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³

Mathematically it can be expressed as,

D = m/v ................................... Equation 1

making v the subject of the equation above,

v = m/D ............................. Equation 2

Where D = Density of the feathers, m = mass of the feathers, v = volume of the feathers.

Given: D = 0.50 lbs/ft³, m = 8.0 lbs.

Substituting into equation 2

v = 8/0.5

v = 16 ft³

<em>Thus the volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>

How can an object's motion be described and predicted?

Luba_88 [7]

Predicted motion is that motion in which the motion of the body or object is been predicted that the motion will be like this.

<h3>How can an object's motion be described and predicted?</h3>

According to the Newton's second law of motion say's that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. We can use it for the prediction of the motion of an object. The net force is the vector quantity which is the sum of all the forces which are acting upon the object.

So we can conclude that: Predicted motion is that motion in which the motion of the body or object is been predicted that the motion will be like this.

A voltaic cell with an aqueous electrolyte is based on the reaction between Cd2+(aq) and Mg(s), producing Cd(s) and Mg2+(aq). Wr

Monica [59]

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : $Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : $Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)$

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

The given redox reaction occurs between the magnesium and cadmium.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (anode) : $Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode) : $Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Cd(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Mg(s)+Cd^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+Cd(s)$
