If you're on the orbiting International Space Station with a box of feathers and a box of sand, how could you tell which is whic

Answer:

Poke or kick the boxes. The sand box is the one that resists the most

Explanation:

The one that resists the most a change in motion (inertia) is the one with the greater mass—the  one filled with sand. Since we cannot open the boxes or perform any weight measurement we can distinguish them by their inertia. Sand has greater mass and thus greater inertia

Natalka [10]

Answer:  a. 17.7 KJ/Mol

b. T=210K

Explanation:

Arsine, ash3 is a highly toxic compound used in the electronics industry for the production of semiconductors. its vapor pressure is 35 torr at – 111.95°c and 253 torr at – 83.6°c. using these data calculate.

the question isnt completely originally, but we could look at the likely derivation from the questions

(a) the standard enthalpy of vaporization

using the clausius clapeyron equation

In (PT1vap / PT2vap) = delta H (vap) / R ( (1/T1) - (1/T2) )

In (35Torr/253Torr) = delta H (vap) / 8.3145 ( (1/189.55) - (1/161.2) )

Therefore, Delta H (vap) = 17.7 KJ/Mol

b. Also the boiling point

What is the normal boiling point of arsine?

At the boiling point Pvap = atmospheric pressure = 1 atm=760 torr

substitution into the equation as stated in question 1

ln(760/253)=17700/8.314(1/189.55-1/T)

T=210K

Alice kicks a 0.25 kg soccer ball with 0.5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it
Lelechka [254]
You do not doubt it. The third Law of Newton really works. I would say it is the most reliable law of the Universe. Action and reaction. It is not subject to special conditions, it works always. If an object exerts a force over other object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposed direction over the first.

So, the answer, undoubtedly, is that the ball exerts a force of 0.5 N over Alices's foot as she kicks it.

What happens to the volume of an ideal gas as temperature drops
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Based on the ideal gas equation, the pressure (P), volume (V) and temperature (T) corresponding to n moles of an ideal gas are related as:

PV = nRT

where R = gas constant

Under conditions of constant pressure and  number of moles:

The volume is directly proportional to the pressure. Therefore, as the temperature drops the volume will also decrease.

V α T

This is also known as the Charles Law.

A 2800 kg truck moving at 12 m/s to the right hits a stopped 1100 kg car. What is the combined velocity the moment they stick to
leva [86]

Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.
