Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 12 kg

horizontal force pulling the box forward, Fx = 48 N

frictional force acting against the box in opposite direction, Fk = 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 48 N - 12 N

The net horizontal force on the box, F = 36 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the box;

F = ma

where;

F is the net horizontal force on the box

a is the acceleration of the box

a = F / m

a = 36 / 12

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s²

An incident ray of light strikes a diamond at an angle of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The angle of refraction is option b: 17°.

Explanation:

We can find the angle of refraction by using Snell's law:

n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})

Where:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the medium 1 (air) = 1.0003  

n₂: is the index of refraction of the medium 2 (diamond) = 2.42

θ₁: is the angle of incidence = 45°

θ₂: is the angle of refraction =?

Hence, the angle of refraction is:

sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.0003*sin(45)}{2.42} = 0.2922

\theta_{2} = 17 ^{\circ}

Therefore, the correct option is b: 17°.

I hope it helps you!

How many miles of MgCI2 are there in 339g of compound?
harkovskaia [24]

I'm going to answer this by using rounded numbers for the atomic masses. You need only go back and put the numbers in from your periodic table. My answers will be close, but not what you should get.

Find the Molar Mass of MgCl2

Mg =                   24 grams

2Cl = 2 * 35.5 = 71 grams

Total  =              95 grams

Find the mols in 339 grams

1 mole = 95 grams

x mol = 339

Solve

339 = 95x   Divide by 95

339/95 = x

x = 3.67 mols  Answer

In a given chemical reaction the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants which statement is true for thi
GREYUIT [131]

Group of answer choices.

A. Energy is absorbed in the reaction.

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

C. There is no transfer of energy in the reaction.

D. Energy is lost in the reaction.

Answer:

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of chemical reaction and these include;

I. Endothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed

II. Exothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is liberated into the environment.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

Generally, energy is released in a chemical reaction when the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants and it is referred to as an exothermic reaction.

However, when the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants, energy is absorbed and it is referred to as an endothermic reaction.

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

One mole of titanium contains how many atoms?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 6.02*10^{23} \ atoms}}

Explanation:

One mole of a substance contains the same amount of representative particles. These particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units. In this case, the particles are atoms of titanium.

Regardless of the particles, there will always be <u>6.02*10²³</u> (also known as Avogadro's Number) particles in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, the best answer for 1 mole of titanium is D. 6.02*10²³ atoms.
