A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,

it's momentum would be

fomenos3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.

Give a combination of four quantum numbers that could be assigned to an electron occupying a 5p orbital.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

n=5, l=1, m(l) = -1, m(s)= + 1/2

Explanation:

Quantum number are used to describe the position and spin of an electron inside an atom. There are four types of quantum number for describing an electron inside an atom. They are: the principal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number and angular momentum quantum number.

(1).PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER: denoted by n, and has possible values of n= 1,2,3,4,.... IN HERE, n= 5

(2).ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER: it is denoted by l, and has possible values of l= 0,1,2,3,...,(n-1).

Our l here is one( that is, s-orbital=0, p-orbital=1, d-orbital= 3 and so on)

(3).MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER: The magnetic quantum number, which is denoted by m subscribt l, specifies the exact orbital in which you can find the electron. It has values ranging from -l,...,-1,0,1,...,l.

Here, our value is -1 that is m(l)= -1

(4).SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER: describes the orientation of electrons. Electrons can only have two values here, either a positive one and the half(+1/2) that is the spin up electron or the negative one and half(-1/2) that is the spin down electron.

The length of the adult mosquito is typically between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. The smallest known mosquitoes are around 2.5 mm, and th
FrozenT [24]

0.74in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

length range of adult mosquito = 3.0 - 6.0mm

Smallest mosquito = 2.5mm

Largest mosquito = 19mm

Average mass range = 3.0 - 5.0mg

Unknown:

Length of largest known mosquito in inches = ?

Solution;

The length is the longest dimension. It is how long a body is.

 The problem here is converting from mm to inches;

 

The length of the longest mosquito which is the largest is 19mm

 19mm to inches;

     1mm = 0.039inches

  19mm = 19mm x \frac{0.039in}{1mm} = 0.74in
