Answer:

Explanation:

4 atoms would be produced, since the reactants are 2 atoms of magnesium and 1 molecule of diatomic oxygen (which contains 2 atoms). Due to the law of conservation of matter, the total number of atoms can not increase or decrease in a chemical reaction.

4 atoms

Explanation:

On the product side, we expect to find 4 atoms of the product.

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split-up into simpler substances. Such substances consist of only one kind of atom.

In this reaction we have:

2 elements: Mg O

on the reactant side:

We have two moles of Mg: 2 atoms of Mg

1 mole of oxygen gas: 2 atoms of O

total atoms: 4 atoms

According to the law of conservation of matter "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed".

We expect to find 4 atoms of products which is MgO on the product side.

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO + heat

The engine of a locomotive exerts a constant force of 8.1*10^5 N to accelerate a train to 68 km/h. Determine the time (in min) t

Bumek [7]

Answer:443.1 s

Explanation:

Given

Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of $8.1\times 10^5 N$

Mass of train $=1.9\times 10^7$

Final speed (v) $=68 km/h \approx 18.88 m/s$

F=ma

so $acceleration(a) =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}$

$a=0.042631 m/s^2$

and acceleration is

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

$0.042631=\frac{18.88-0}{t}$

$t=443.089 \approx 443.1 s$

UkoKoshka [18]

Previous results tell us the speed (v) is given in terms of the coefficient of friction (k) and the radius of the curve (r) as
v = √(kgr)
v = √(0.20·9.8 m/s²·50 m)
= 7√2 m/s ≈ 9.90 m/s
