Answer:

The total applied force on the trolley is 5 N toward the North.

Explanation:

In this problem, Ben is pushing the trolley to north and Gary is pushing it to south. So both the forces are acting 180° opposite to each other. As force is a vector quantity, the net force or total force acting on any object should be calculated by vector addition of number of forces along with their directions. So in this case, if we consider the force Ben is applying as F1 and the force Gary is applying as F2 on the trolley. Then the net or total force acting on the trolley will be F1-F2. This is because, F1 and F2 are acting opposite to each other in direction.Thus, Total force acting on the trolley = 10 N - 5 N.

So the total force acting on the trolley is 5 N and it is toward the north direction.

ryzh [129]

n=20 mol

(NH)4 SO4

Atomic masses :

N- 14

H- 1

S- 32

O- 16

Therefore M= 14×2 + 1×8 + 32 + 16×4

= 132

m= nM

= 20×132

= 2640g

How can you tell from the name the types of bonds present in a hydrocarbon?
Darya [45]

Answer:

Alkane

Alkene

Alkyne

Explanation:

Alkane=1 bond (Saturated hydrocarbon)

Alkene= 2 bonds (Unsaturated hydrocarbon)

Alkyne= triple bonds (Unsaturated hydrocarbon)

Formula of Alkane = CnH2n+2

Formula of Alkene = CnH2n

Formula of Alkyne = CnH2n-2

A sample of 28 Mg decays initially at a rate of 53500 disintegrations per minute, but the decay rate falls to 10980 disintegrati
prisoha [69]

Answer : The half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time passed by the sample = 48.0 hr

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 53500

a - x = amount left after decay process disintegrate = 53500 - 10980 = 42520

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{48.0}\log\frac{53500}{42520}

k=9.98\times 10^{-2}hr^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the half-life.

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

9.98\times 10^{-2}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=6.94hr

Therefore, the half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94
