Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?

1 answer:

4 0

You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

Again, the answer is A.

Under ideal conditions (no atmospheric interference of any kind), if I hit a golf ball at an angle of 25 degrees at an initial s

g100num [7]

Answer:

The required angle is (90-25)° = 65°

Explanation:

The given motion is an example of projectile motion.

Let 'v' be the initial velocity and '∅' be the angle of projection.

Let 't' be the time taken for complete motion.

Let 'g' be the acceleration due to gravity

Taking components of velocity in horizontal(x) and vertical(y) direction.

$v_{x}$ = v cos(∅)

$v_{y}$ = v sin(∅)

We know that for a projectile motion,

t = $\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}$

Since there is no force acting on the golf ball in horizonal direction.

Total distance(d) covered in horizontal direction is -

d = $v_{x}$ ×t = vcos(∅)× $\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2∅) }{g}$ .

If the golf ball has to travel the same distance 'd' for same initital velocity v = 23m/s , then the above equation should have 2 solutions of initial angle 'α' and 'β' such that -

α +β = 90° as-

d = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2α) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2[90-β]) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(180-2β) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2β) }{g}$ .

∴ For the initial angles 'α' or 'β' , total horizontal distance 'd' travelled remains the same.

∴ If α = 25° , then

β = 90-25 = 65°

∴ The required angle is 65°.

determine the force of gravitational attraction between a 78kg boy sitting 2 meters away from a 65kg girl.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$F=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy is 78 kg

Mass of a girl is 65 kg

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between them if they are 2 m away.

The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 78\times 65}{(2)^2}\\\\=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$

So, the force between them is $8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N$ .

When objects exchange charge, why do we say it's the negative charge that moves and not the positive?

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

It is said that the negative charge moves because the electrons in the atoms of any object are taken or given to the atoms of another object.

Explanation:

The atom is made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. The number of protons is exactly the same to the number of electrons for a certain element. For example, hydrogen: it has a proton, and therefore, an electron.

The electron has a negative charge. The proton has a positive charge. And the neutron has no charge, so it is neutral. While the atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it will not be electrically charged.

An example of how a charge exchange occurs between two objects is through the case of rubbing. This makes the atoms of the two objects close enough that there is an electron transfer, causing any of the objects to gain or lose electrons as a consequence of each other interaction. In the case of transferring electrons, the atom will have a greater number of protons, so it will be positively charged. When the atom receive electrons, it will have a greater number of electrons, so it will be negatively charged.

Therefore, since it is the electrons that move from one atom to another, then it is the negative charge that moves (<em>characterized by the electrons</em>) and not the positive charge (<em>characterized by the protons</em>).

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, $F_{net}$ = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, $F_{net}$ = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.
