Ben is pushing a small trolley 10 N to the north and but Gary is pushing the trolley 5 N to the south. What is the total applied
1 answer:
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 . This is because, F1 and F2 are acting opposite to each other in direction.Thus,
.
So the total force acting on the trolley is 5 N and it is toward the north direction.

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:
1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:
2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:
3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:
4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:
5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:
6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):
Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:
Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:
It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.
Best regards.
