Answer:

44.09 pounds

Explanation:

We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation

0.2 * X = 4.0 \ kg

where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:

X = 4.0 kg / 0.2

X = 20.0 \ kg

Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms.  Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:

X = 20.0 \ kg * 2.20462 \ \frac{pounds}{kg}

X = 44.0924 \ pounds

Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:

X = 44.09 \ pounds,

the total mass of nutty chocolate bars  made last Tuesday to two significant figures.

Answer:

17.72° or 72.28°

Explanation:

u = 6.5 m/s

R = 2.5 m

Let the angle of projection is θ.

Use the formula for the horizontal range

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

2.5=\frac{6.5^{2}Sin2\theta }{9.8}

Sin 2θ = 0.58

2θ = 35.5°

θ = 17.72°

As we know that the range is same for the two angles which are complementary to each other.

So, the other angle is 90° - 17.72° = 72.28°

Thus, the two angles of projection are 17.72° or 72.28°.

How does charging by conduction occur?
tia_tia [17]
Hello!
Charging by conduction involves the contact of a charged object to a neutral object. Suppose that a positively charged aluminum plate is touched to a neutral metal sphere. The neutral metal sphere becomes charged as the result of being contacted by the charged aluminum plate. 
Hope this helped!
