Explain the term contact force and give examples​

Chemistry
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer & Explanation:

In physics, a contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. Contact forces are described by Newton's laws of motion, as with all other forces in dynamics. Contact force is the force in which an object comes in contact with another object. Contact forces are also direct forces. Contact forces are ubiquitous and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234  would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample  to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now  we start with 150 grams  of Thorium-234

150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1

75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2

34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3

17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4

8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}

Where

A_0  is the initial sample amount  

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.

Choose the weaker acid in each of the following pairs:H₂SO₃ or H₂SO₄
WINSTONCH [101]

H₂SO₃ is weaker acid than  H₂SO₄.

The bonding power of an acid is typically influenced by the size of the "SO₄" atom; the smaller the "SO₄" atom, the stronger the H-A bond. The atoms get larger and the bonds get weaker as you proceed down a row in the Periodic Table, strengthening the acids.

<h3>Describe acid.</h3>

The term "acid" refers to any molecule or ion that can donate a proton (a Brnsted-Lowry acid) or establish a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid). The first class of acids is the proton donors, also known as Brnsted-Lowry acids.

Its chemical name is lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD as it is more often known. Because it has a potent hallucinogenic impact, using it could alter how you see the world and its objects. The effects of LSD are referred to as tripping.

The term "acid" is frequently used to denote aqueous solutions of acids with a pH lower than 8, even though the technical meaning of the term only pertains to the solute.

Looking at the car in the picture above, explain how the electrons act to form this compound that is on the surface of the car,
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Iron and oxygen act as Fe3+ and O2− ions respectively, forming rust (Fe₂O₃) in the presence of water by the formation of an ionic bond".

Explanation:

Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water (either if the iron is submerged or exposed to moisture in the air), forming the chemical compound Fe₂O₃. The presence of water is needed for rust formation because iron and oxygen act as ions when they are exposed to water, particularly Fe3+ and O2− ions respectively. The bond formed between these two elements are ionic bonds, because it is comprised of the reaction between a metal (iron) and a non-metal (oxygen).
