How fast is she going

kicyunya [14]3 years ago

Answer:

She will speed up because air resistance will decrease and be less than gravity.

Explanation:

As we know that when she is travelling at terminal speed then at that position the force due to gravity on her is counter balanced by the air drag or air friction.

Now as she change her position to head first then in that case the air drag will decrease due to aerodynamic shape

So here in that case net force in downward direction will be more and then will accelerate her downwards.

So we will say that as she will change her position then her speed will increase due to unbalanced force on her

so correct answer will be

She will speed up because air resistance will decrease and be less than gravity.

What is the concentration of H^ + at apH = 2 ? Mol / L What is the concentration of H^ + ions at apH = 6 ? Mol/L How many more H

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 : $= [H^+]=0.01 mol/L$

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 : $[H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L$

There are 0.009999 more moles of $H^+$ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 2 = [H^+]

$2=-\log [H^+]\\$

$[H^+]=10^{-2}M= 0.01 M=0.01 mol/L$

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]

$6=-\log [H^+]\\\\$

$[H^+]=10^{-6}M= 0.000001 M= 0.000001 mol/L$

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 = $[H^+]=0.01 mol/L$

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 = $[H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L$

The difference between hydrogen ion concentration at pH 2 and pH 6 :

$= [H^+]-[H^+]' = 0.01 mol/L- 0.000001 mol/L = 0.009999 mol/L$

Moles of hydrogen ion in 0.009999 mol/L solution :

$=0.009999 mol/L\times 1 L=0.009999 mol$

There are 0.009999 more moles of $H^+$ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

10) The coil of transformer is coated by enamel why

diamong [38]

Answer:

Enamel is used to coat the wires, it is the thinnest possible insulator. The coils are made up of large number of turns and enamel makes it possible to cram a lot of wires (coils) in much smaller space.

A person is riding a motorized tricycle. They weigh 180kg and are moving at 3 m/s over a distance of 300 m. How much work is don

agasfer [191]

If I am to understand this question correctly this is what asks you:

If a person is riding a motorized tricycle how much work do they do?

You may ask yourself, why did I only use part of the question. Simple, the rest is not relevant to what is being asked. The weight, speed, and distance wont affect the person riding any motorized vehicle other than the time it takes to get from one place to another.

So to answer this question I would say:

Not much, all they really have to do is to steer and set the motorized tricycle to cruise control. Just like any rode certified vehicle.

If you have any questions about my answer please let me know and I will be happy to clarify any misunderstandings. Thanks and have a great day!

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?

givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67
