Why is the chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT Mg2S2?

2 answers:

6 0

Because you need only 1 atom of magnesium and 1 atom of sulfur to produce magnesium sulfate. Writing a two after each is not correct as that would be dimagnesium disulfide.

When an object oscillating in simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, which of the

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

E. Zero Maximum

Explanation:

At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:

- The restoring force is given by $F=kx$ , where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well

- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:

$E=K+U=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, $\Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m$

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}$

$d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m$

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}$

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}$

So,

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}$

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}$

$\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m$

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars

VLD [36.1K]

In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

A 2 kg ball of putty moving to the right at 3 m/s has a perfectly inelastic, head-on collision with a 1 kg ball of putty moving

Aneli [31]

Answer:

$V=1.33m/s$ to the right

Explanation:

The balls collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision.

In the axis X:

$m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V$ (1)

$V=(m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2})/(m_{1}+m_{2})=(2*3-1*2)/(2+1)=1.33m/s$

A space craft is moving relative to the earth , an observer on the earth finds that, between 1pm and 2pm according to her clock,

madam [21]

The speed of the space craft relative to the earth is given as: 0.024c. This is solved using the the equation for time dilation.

<h3>What is time dilation?</h3>

Time dilation is the "slowing down" of a clock as determined by an observer in relative motion with regard to that clock under the theory of special relativity.

The formula is given as :

Δt = [Δr]/ √ 1 - (v²/c²)

Thus,

v = c√1 - (Δr/Δt)²

= c √(1 - (3600/3601)²

v = 0.024c
