What happens to a decimal place in the number when you are converting from a smaller metric unit to a larger unit?

Which statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0?

The statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0 is - The substance with the lower pH has 1,000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

pH is the scale or measure for the substance about its acidic or basic strength. It ranges from 0 to 6.9 which is acidic and 7.1 to 14 which is basic.

Acidic substance has high concentration of Hydrogen ions whereas, basic substance has low concentration of hydrogen ions, however for the OH⁻ ions it is reverse.

Concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH
More hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH
The fewer hydrogen ions, the higher the pH We know,

pH = -log( $H^{+}$ ) then,

=> 3 = -log ( $H^{+}$ )

=> $H^{+}$ = (for pH = 3)

=> pH = -log( $H^{+}$ )

=> 6 = -log ( $H^{+}$ )

=> $H^{+}$ = $10^{-6}$ (for pH = 6)

Thus, The substance with the lower pH (3) has 1000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at it

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The total Mechanical energy will be zero

Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.

since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless

Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy

kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V

Potential energy=MGH

Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0

Etotal=0+0

Etotal=0.

Z. A force that gives a 8-kg objet an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2 would give a 2-kg object an

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D.\ 6.4\ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

We need to find the acceleration of the 2 kilogram object. Let's complete this in 2 steps.

<h3>1. Force of 1st Object </h3>

First, we can find the force of the first, 8 kilogram object.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F=m \times a$

The mass of the object is 8 kilograms and the acceleration is 1.6 meters per square second.

m= 8 kg
a= 1.6 m/s²

Substitute these values into the formula.

$F= 8 \ kg * 1.6 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 12.8 \ kg*m/s^2$

<h3>2. Acceleration of the 2nd Object </h3>

Now, use the force we just calculated to complete the second part of the problem. We use the same formula:

$F= m \times a$

This time, we know the force is 12.8 kilograms meters per square second and the mass is 2 kilograms.

F= 12.8 kg *m/s²
m= 2 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

$12.8 \ kg*m/s^2= 2 \ kg *a$

Since we are solving for the acceleration, we must isolate the variable (a). It is being multiplied by 2 kg. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 kg.

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}= \frac{2\ kg* a}{2 \ kg}$

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}=a$

The units of kilograms cancel.

$\frac {12.8}{2}\ m/s^2=a$

$6.4 \ m/s^2=a$

The acceleration is 6.4 meters per square second.

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas

jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
