Answer: An acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.

An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the reaction below

CH3COOH(aq) + OH-(aq) <---> CH3COO-(aq) + H2O(l)

Thus, ethanoic acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing ethanoate ion, CH3COO- as a conjugate base.

A point charge of -2 µC is located at the origin. A second point charge of 6 µC is at x = 1 m, y = 0.5 m. Find the x and y coord

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

x coordinate = -1.66 m

y coordinate is = -0.825m

Explanation:

Suppose z be the distance form the first charge and z + sqrt(1^2 +.5^2) be the distance from the second So z + sqrt(1+.25) = z + 1.12

We have k*2.0x10^-6/s^2 = k*6x10^-6/(s+1.12)^2

0.0356s^2 -0.019s-0.0897=0

s=1.876m

The angle of the line between the two charges is arctan(.5/1) = 26.6o

x coordinate = -1.876*cos(26.6) = -1.66m

y coordinate is -1.876*sin(26.6) = -0.825m

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed

olasank [31]

Answer:

Average acceleration is $(11.05)g\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 6.5 km/s = 6500 m/s

Time taken, t = 60 s

Acceleration, $a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{6500\ m/s}{60}$

$a=108.33\ m/s^2$

Since, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

So, $a=(11.05)g\ m/s^2$

So, the angular acceleration of the missile is $(11.05)g\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

$F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2} }$

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

$15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\ F_{y}=14.3 [N]$
