Some good estimates about the human body can be made if it is assumed that we are made mostly of water. The mass of a water mole

cule is 2.99 * 10^-26 kg. If the mass of a person is 62 kg, estimate the number of water molecules in that person.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of water molecule m=2.99\times 10^{-26}\ kg

mass of person M=62\ kg

It is given that body is mostly made up of water

suppose n water molecules constitutes 62 kg

so n\times m=M

n=\frac{62}{2.99\times 10^{-26}}

n=20.73\times 10^{26}\ kg

An element with 7 valence electrons will most likely-
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: be found in group 17 and be highly reactive

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

Flourine, chlorine, bromine and iodine are elements which belong to Group 17. All of them contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.

The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element and thus all of them are highly reactive.

An ideal monatomic gas initially has a temperature of T and a pressure of p. It is to expand from volume V1 to volume V2. If the
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Isothermal :   P2 = ( P1V1 / V2 ) ,  work-done pdv = nRT * In( \frac{V2}{v1} )

Adiabatic : : P2 = \frac{P1V1^{\frac{5}{3} } }{V2^{\frac{5}{3} } }  , work-done =

W = (3/2)nR(T1V1^(2/3)/(V2^(2/3)) - T1)

Explanation:

initial temperature : T

Pressure : P

initial volume : V1

Final volume : V2

A) If expansion was isothermal calculate final pressure and work-done

we use the gas laws

= PIVI = P2V2

Hence : P2 = ( P1V1 / V2 )

work-done :

pdv = nRT * In( \frac{V2}{v1} )

B) If the expansion was Adiabatic show the Final pressure and work-done

final pressure

P1V1^y = P2V2^y

where y = 5/3

hence : P2 = \frac{P1V1^{\frac{5}{3} } }{V2^{\frac{5}{3} } }

Work-done

W = (3/2)nR(T1V1^(2/3)/(V2^(2/3)) - T1)

Where    T2 = T1V1^(2/3)/V2^(2/3)

Determine the launch speed of a horizontally launched cannonball that lands 26.3
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The cannon has an initial speed of 13.25 m/s.

Explanation:

The launched cannonball is an example of a projectile. Thus, its launch speed can be determined by the application of the formula;

R = u\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

Where: R is the range of the projectile, u is its initial speed, H is the height of the cliff and g is the gravitaty.

R = 26.3 m, H = 19.3 m, g = 9.8 m/s^{2}.

So that:

26.3 = u\sqrt{\frac{2*19.3}{9.8} }

(26.3)^{2} = u^{2} x \frac{38.6}{9.8}

691.69 =  u^{2} x \frac{38.6}{9.8}

u^{2} = \frac{691.69*9.8}{38.6}

   = \frac{6778.562}{38.6}

u^{2} = 175.6104

⇒ u = \sqrt{175.6104}

  = 13.2518

u = 13.25 m/s

The initial speed of the cannon is 13.25 m/s.

What is an example of non-renewable energy source?​
Dominik [7]

Answer: coal

Explanation:  Nonrenewable energy resources include coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy. Once these resources are used up, they cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs
