Answer:

Momentum of elephant is greater than momentum of tranquilizer dart

Explanation:

m_e = Mass of elephant = 2140 kg

m_d = Mass of tranquilizer dart = 0.0415 kg

v_e = Velocity of elephant = 7.63 m/s

v_e = Velocity of tranquilizer dart = 619 m/s

Momentum of elephant

p_e=m_ev_e\\\Rightarrow p_e=2140\times 7.63\\\Rightarrow p_e=16328.2\ N.s

Momentum of tranquilizer dart

p_d=m_dv_d\\\Rightarrow p_d=0.0415\times 619\\\Rightarrow p_d=25.6885\ N.s

So, p_e>p_d

Momentum of elephant is greater than momentum of tranquilizer dart

When the forces acting on a particle are resolved into cylindrical components, friction forces always act in the
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Tangential

Explanation: This is a kind of force which act on a moving body in such a way that it is curved in the direction of the path of the body. This implies that when the velocity of the object is positive, the acceleration will be negative.

How much heat is required to raise 100 grams of water (c= 4.18) by 5 degrees Celsius?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 100 grams

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g°C.

Temperature = 5°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature of an object.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Q = 100*4.18*5

Heat capacity, Q = 2090 Joules.

A person hums into the top of a well (tube open at only one end) and finds that standing waves are established at frequencies of
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resonance in a tube that is open at one end and closed at the other, we can find it because in the closed part you have a node and in the open part you have a belly, so for the fundamental frequency you have ¼ Lam, the different resonances are:

Fundamental              λ = 4L

3 harmonica               λ  = 4L / 3

5 Harmonica               λ = 4L / 5

General harmonica     λ = 4L / (2n-1)                n = 1, 2, 3

Let's apply this equation to our case

The speed of sound is given by

          v =  λ  f

          λ = v / f

Let's look for wavelengths

         λ₁ = 40.6 / 343 = 0.1184 m

         λ₂ = 67.7 / 343 = 0.1974 m

         λ₃ = 94.7 / 343 = 0.2761 m

Since the wavelengths are close we can assume that it corresponds to consecutive integers, where for the first one it corresponds to the integer n

          λ ₁ = 4L / (2n-1)

          λ₂ = 4L / (2 (n + 1) -1) = 4L / (2n +1)

          λ₃ = 4L / (2 (n + 2) -1) = 4L / (2n + 3)

Let's clear in the first and second equations

          2n-1 = 4L / λ₁

          2n +1 = 4L / λ₂

Let's solve the system of equations

         4L / λ₁ + 1 = 4L / λ₂ -1

         4L / λ₂ – 4L / λ₁ = 2

         2L (1 / λ₂ - 1 / λ₁) = 1

         1 / L = 2 (1 / λ₂ -1 / λ₁)

         1 / L = 2 (1 / 0.1974 - 1 / 0.1184)

         1 / L = 2 (5,066 - 8,446) = -6.76

         L = 0.1479 m

N2 + 3H2 mc033-1.jpg 2NH3
Svetradugi [14.3K]

N2+3H2->2NH3

When 3 moles of H2 react, they produce 2 moles of NH3

3 moles of H2 have a mass of 2.02 g

2 moles of NH2 have a mass of 17.0 g

So when 2.02 g H2 react, they produce 17.0 g NH3

If 26.3g H2 react with a yield of 100%, we expect…

2.02g H2_____17.0gNH3

26.3g H2_____x=221gNH3

So now let’s calculate the percentage:

221gNH3­­­­­­­­_________100%

79.0gNH3_________x=79.0*100/221=35.7%
