Because electrons add to the atomic mass, while it is very slim (around 1/2000 of a proton) their mass is what causes the decimals on atomic masses

Jenny was applying her makeup when she drove into the student parking lot last Friday morning . Unaware that Cheryl was stopped
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: F = 102141N

Explanation: <em><u>Newton's 2nd Law</u></em> states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by

F = m.a

whose units are:

[F] = N

[m] = kg

[a] = m/s²

Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{11}{0.14}

a = 78.57 m/s²

Then, Force is

F = 1300*78.57

F = 102141 N

<u>Jenny's car experienced a force of </u><u>magnitude 102141N.</u>

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

3.6 KJ

Explanation: Given that a 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m, and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy

The workdone = the energy.

There are two different energies in the scenario - the potential energy (P.E ) and the kinetic energy ( K.E )

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 × 9.8 × 1.6

P.E = 1097.6 J

P.E = 1.098 KJ

K.E = 1/2mv^2

K.E = 1/2 × 70 × 8.5^2

K.E = 2528.75 J

K.E = 2.529 KJ

The non conservative workdone = K.E + P.E

Work done = 1.098 + 2.529

Work done = 3.63 KJ

Therefore, the non conservative workdone is 3.6 KJ approximately

If 2.40 g of KNO3 reacts with sufficient sulfur (S8) and carbon (C), how much P-V work will the gases do against an external pre
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

-112.876J

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, we would need to incorporate Stoichiometry, which involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Here's a balanced equation for the reaction:

16KNO_3(s) + 24C(s) + S_8(s)    \to 24CO_2(g) + 8N_2(g) + 8K_2S(s)

Let us define P - V work as;

w_{pv} = - P_{external}  \triangle Volume

where  \triangle (Volume) = (V_{final} - V_{initial})

External pressure is given as  1.00atm , therefore the work solely depends on the change in volume and since the reactants are solids, none of the reactants contribute to the volume. Hence,  V_i = 0.

To find the volume of the products, we need to first find the amount of moles of the product made from  2.40_gKNO_3, using the molar mass of  KNO_3  which is 101.1032 g/mol  

2.40_gKNO_3 . {\frac{1molKNO_3}{101.1032_g}} = 0.0237molKNO_3

Now let us convert moles of  KNO_3  into moles of CO_2 and N_2  using the stoichiometric ratios from our balanced equation of the reaction.

0.0237molKNO_3 . {\frac{24molCO_2}{16molKNO_3}} = 0.0356molCO_2

0.0237molKNO_3 . {\frac{8molN_2}{16molKNO_3}} = 0.01185molN_2

K_2S is not factored into the volume calculation because it is a solid.

Now let us also convert the moles of  CO_2  and  N_2 into grams using their respective molar masses.

0.0356molCO_2 . {\frac{44.01_g}{1molCO_2}} = 1.567_gCO_2

0.01185molN_2 . {\frac{28.014_g}{1molN_2}} = 0.332_gN_2

We will now proceed to convert grams into volume using the density values provided.

1.567_gCO_2 . {\frac{1L}{1.830_g}} = 0.856LCO_2

0.332_gN_2 . {\frac{1L}{1.165_g}} = 0.285LN_2

Summing up the two volumes, we get the final volume

0.856L + 0.258L = 1.114L = V_f

Plugging everything into the w_{pv} equation, we get:

w_{pv} = -1atm(1.114L - 0L) = -1.114L.atm

Finally, let us convert L.atm into joules using the conversion rate of;

1L.atm = 101.325J\\-1.114L.atm. {\frac{101.325J}{1L.atm}} = -112.876J
