Answer:
the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂
Explanation:
since it contains
Nitrogen = n → 30.45%
Oxygen = o → 69.55%
and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen
Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is
proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen
since
moles = mass / molecular weight
then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas
mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr
mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr
proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N
therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen
thus the molecular formula for the gas is:
NO₂
Answer:
The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
Explanation:
Given;
coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84
speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s
To determine the the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;
v² = u² + 2ax
where;
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
x is the shortest distance
First we determine a;
From Newton's second law of motion
∑F = ma
F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car
-Fk = ma
but, -Fk = -μN
-μN = ma
-μmg = ma
-μg = a
- 0.8 x 9.8 = a
-7.84 m/s² = a
Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above
v² = u² + 2ax
when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0
0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x
0 = 841 - 15.68x
15.68x = 841
x = 841 / 15.68
x = 53.64 m
Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
