First, find how many copper atoms make up the ball: 
 moles of atoms = (49.3 g) / (63.5 g per mol of atoms) = 0.<span>77638</span><span>mol 
</span> # of atoms = (0.77638 mol) (6.02 × 10^23 atoms per mol) = 4.6738*10^23<span> atoms </span>

<span> There is normally one electron for every proton in copper. This means there are normally 29 electrons per atom:
</span> normal # electrons = (4.6738 × 10^23 atoms) (29 electrons per atom) = <span> <span>1.3554</span></span><span>× 10^25 electrons 
</span>
<span> Currently, the charge in the ball is 2.0 µC, which means -2.0 µC worth of electrons have been removed.
</span><span> # removed electrons = (-2.0 µC) / (1.602 × 10^-13 µC per electron) = 1.2484 × 10^13 electrons removed
 
</span><span> # removed electrons / normal # electrons = </span>
<span>(1.2484 × 10^13 electrons removed) / (1.3554 × 10^25 electrons) = 9.21 × 10^-13 </span>

<span> That's 1 / 9.21 × 10^13 </span>

Ezekiel pushes a 34 kg sled with 101 N for 8.0 m. How much work did he do on the sled?
Simora [160]

Answer: 810 J

Explanation: work W = F·s = 101 N · 8.0 m = 808 J

Force F = u mg = 101 N in which u is friction constant. Also mass is included in force.

koban [17]

Answer:

Ground-state atom

Explanation:

When an atom is not excited, it is in its ground-state, which we refer as "standard" or "normal" state.

Which of the following objects has the greatest kinetic energy?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

After the body has begun shivering, what explains why it would stop shivering?
Oksana_A [137]
The body shivers to produce energy and it uses the energy to keep it warm. The body would stop shivering when it has produced enough energy to keep it warm and the atmosphere around it has got warmer

Nata [24]

Answer:

a) 69.3 m/s

b) 18.84 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity = u

The vertical and horizontal components of the velocity is given by uᵧ and uₓ respectively

uᵧ = u sin 40° = 0.6428 u

uₓ = u cos 40° = 0.766 u

We're given that the horizontal distance travelled by the projectile rock (Range) = 1 km = 1000 m

The range of a projectile motion is given as

R = uₓt

where t = total time of flight

1000 = 0.766 ut

ut = 1305.5

The vertical distance travelled by the projectile rocks,

y = uᵧ t - (1/2)gt²

y = - 900 m (900 m below the crater's level)

-900 = 0.6428 ut - 4.9t²

Recall, ut = 1305.5

-900 = 0.6428(1305.5) - 4.9 t²

4.9t² = 839.1754 + 900

4.9t² = 1739.1754

t = 18.84 s

Recall again, ut = 1305.5

u = 1305.5/18.84 = 69.3 m/s
