Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Answer:
33.2 m
Explanation:
For the first object:
y₀ = 81.5 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 0 s
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
y = 81.5 − 4.9t²
For the second object:
y₀ = 0 m
v₀ = 40.0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 2.20 s
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
y = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²
When they meet:
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9 (t² − 4.4t + 4.84)
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9t² + 21.56t − 23.716
81.5 = 61.56t − 111.716
193.216 = 61.56t
t = 3.139
The position at that time is:
y = 81.5 − 4.9(3.139)²
y = 33.2
Answer:
Geocentric model of the universe
Explanation:
In the geocentric model of the universe, the earth is the center of the universe. This theory was later replaced by the heliocentric model which places the sun as the center.
This belief was propagated by the ancient Greeks. The geocentric model of the universe was proposed by Ptolemy.
The model suggests that other planetary bodies orbits the earth.
The answer is: Motion!
Have a great day
A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.
I hope this helps you.
