During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma

ss of the black residue formed was 79.6 g. Does the law of conservation of mass hold true in this case? Use complete sentences to justify your answer based on numerical calculations

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which  "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)

Brayden and Riku now use their skills to work a problem. Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and
Liono4ka [1.6K]

a) 5 \Omega, 1.6 A

b) 6 \Omega, 1.33 A

Explanation:

a)

In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:

R=R_1+R_2

where

R_1=4\Omega

R_2=1 \Omega

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

R=4+1=5 \Omega

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R=5\Omega is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

Substituting,

I=\frac{8}{5}=1.6 A

The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.

b)

In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is

R=R_1+R_2+R_3

where:

R_1=4\Omega\\R_2=1\Omega\\R_3=1\Omega

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

R=4+1+1=6 \Omega

Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R=6\Omega is the equivalent resistance

Substituting,

I=\frac{8}{6}=1.33 A

And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.

At what minimum speed must a roller coaster be traveling when upside down at the top of a circle so that the passengers do not f
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

v_{min} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The roller coaster begins with maximum kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy reaches its maximum when roller coaster is upside down at the top of the circle. The physical model for the roller coaster is constructed by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{min}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h

The minimum velocity is:

v_{min} = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h}

Let assume that radio of curvature is measured in meters. Hence:

v_{min} = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot(15\,m)}

v_{min} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}

Beats are the difference in (a) Frequency (b) Amplitude (c) Intensity (d) None
sasho [114]

Answer:

Beats are the difference in frequency.

(a) is correct option.

Explanation:

Beat :

Beat is the difference of the frequency of two waves.

The difference in frequency is equal to the number of beat per second.

Amplitude :

Amplitude of the wave is the maximum displacement.

Frequency :

Frequency is the number oscillations of wave in per second.

Intensity :

Intensity is the power per unit area.

Hence, Beats are the difference in frequency.

A soccer player heads the ball and sends it flying vertically upwards at a speed of 18.0 m/s . How high above the players ' head
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

16.53 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 18.0 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

The maximum height reached by the ball can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 18² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 324 – 19.6h

Rearrange

19.6h = 324

Divide both side by 19.6

h = 324 / 19.6

h = 16.53 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.53 m
