<h3>Answer:</h3>

pH = 5

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Concentration of a solution HI as 0.00001 M

We are required to calculate the pH of Hydronium ions.

When the acid dissociates in water to;

HI + H₂O → H₃O⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

Therefore;

The concentration of H₃O⁺ ions is 0.00001 M\

We need to know that pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

Therefore;

pH =-log 0.00001 M

= 5

Thus, the pH of the hydronium ions is 5

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.70 10

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2

Using the right hand rule provided by Lorentz law:

B = F / qvSinΘ

Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field

v = speed of the particle

Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)

q = charge of the particle

SinΘ = sin90° = 1

Note F = ma

Therefore,

B = ma / qvSinΘ

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27

Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1

B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12

B = 0.7715 × 10^-2

B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T

2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.

Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.

A satellite of mass m completes one revolution around the earth at a constant speed s and radius r.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero

Explanation:

The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.

What's the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 and velocity of 200m/s?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}$

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

$v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}$

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

$f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }$

$f=20 \ s^{-1}$

1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

$f= 20 \ Hz$

The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>

How would you go about measuring the speed of a vehicle? What measurements would you have to take? What calculations would you h

White raven [17]

Answer:

For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.
