Answer:
average for silk =141"
average for cotton =96"
average for nylon = 70"
if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,
silk is the best
if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,
nylon is the best
Explanation:
Homework 1
Problem Solving
1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in
the table below.
(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.
Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)
MATERIAL
1st TRY
2nd TRY
3rd TRY
AVERAGE
Sik
144
140 average of 3 = 141
139
Cotton
98
96 average of 3 = 96
94
Nylon
72
68 average of 3 = 70
70
<span>Boyles law states that the volume of a gas is proportional to the moles of the gas when pressure and temperature are kept constant. </span>
1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)
2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g
3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g
4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g
5) Convert grams to moles
moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles
moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131
6) Find the proportion of moles
Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656
Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1
O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2
=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)
Answer: Ir O2
The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a substance divided by the volume in liters prepared.
, where n is number of moles and V is the volume in liters.
In order to calculate the mass of solute we need to convert the volume and molarity to moles
Now that we have moles we use the relative formula mass of NaCO₃, We have 1 Na atom, 1 C atom and 3 O atoms, thus
Answer:
Explanation:
Recall that plants use water, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to build their organic framework through photosynthesis. Therefore, plants draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide as part of their life habit. When plants die, the organic matter is oxidized and carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere.
