Answer:

Primitive material was formed in the early stage of the solar system, before planets cooled off enough to differentiate elements of different density. It was not subject to great heat or pressure after it formed.

We can identify primitive meteorites by their composition, primitive meteorites are usually undifferentiated stones, with some metallic grains mixed in. Some primitive meteorites are darker, carbonaceous stones.

A 2,000 kg rocket is launched 12 km straight up at a constant acceleration into the sky at which point the rocket is travelling

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

$[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-$ ...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

$[O]=1s^22s^22p^4$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

$[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$ ..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

A man works on a striaght road from his home to market 2.5km away dwith a speed of 5km/h.Finding the market closed, he instantly

umka21 [38]

Answer:

5.625km/h

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between home and market, d=2.5 km

Speed, v1=5km/h

Speed, v2=7.5 km/h

We have to find the average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to 40min.

Time, $t=\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

$t_1=\frac{2.5}{5}=0.5 h=0.5\times 60=30 min$

1 hour =60 min

$t_2=\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}hour=\frac{60}{3}=20min$

Distance traveled by man in 10 min with speed 7.5 km/h= $\frac{2.5}{20}\times 10=2.5/2km$

Therefore,

Total distance covered=2.5+2.5/2=3.75 km

Time=40 min=40/60=2/3 hour

Average speed= $\frac{total\;distance}{total\;time}$

Average speed= $\frac{3.75}{2/3}=5.625km/h$

what is the difference between kinetic energy and random motion of a cylider of oxygen carried by a car and one standing on a pl

pochemuha

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

If we are talking about the kinetic energy of the cylinder of oxygen:

The kinetic energy possessed by any object is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this case, we have one cylinder carried by a car and one standing on a platform: this means that the speed of the cylinder carried by the car will be different from zero (and so also its kinetic energy will be different from zer), while the speed of the cylinder standing on the platform will be zero (and so its kinetic energy also zero). Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car will be larger than that standing on a platform.

Instead, if we are talking about the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the molecules of oxygen inside the cylinder:

The kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas:

$K=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where k is called Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, we see that K does not depend on whether the gas is in motion or not, but only on its temperature - therefore, in this case there is no difference between the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car and that standing on the platform (assuming they are at the same temperature)
