Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.5}=15.02098532  m/s\approx 15 m/s

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 36.86% n and 63.14% o by mass.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

NO_{1.499}

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol

n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}

n^{*}= 1.499

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

NO_{1.499}

Hurricanes are especially destructive because of the abrupt decrease in air pressure that they bring with the winds. Consider a
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2.96 × 10^4 N

Explanation:

1 atm = 101325 N/m², pressure inside the airtight room = 1.02 atm, pressure outside due to hurricane = 0.91 atm

net pressure directed outward = P inside - P  outside

net pressure = 1.02 - 0.91 = 0.11 atm

where 1 atm = 101325N/m²

0.11 atm = 0.11 × 101325 N/m² = 11145.75 N/m²

area of the square wall = l × l where l is the length of the wall in meters = 1.63 × 1.63 = 2.6569

net pressure = net force / area

make net force subject of the formula

net force = net pressure × area = 11145.75 × 2.6569 = 2.96 × 10 ^4 N
