Summarize why people were unsuccessful over 1,000 years ago when they tried to transform lead into gold. What process would they

have needed to complete in order to have been successful?

Answer:

The answer for this is that for converting lead into gold we need to change the amount of protons in lead which with help in converting it to the gold.

Explanation:

Lead (atomic number is 82) and gold (atomic number is 79) are characterized by the protons density which they possess as components. Changing the factor involves modification of the amount of the atom (proton). It is difficult to change the amount of protons in an atom through any chemical Reaction.

Physics can, therefore, be used to attach or subtract protons and thereby turn one part into another. Since lead is solid, it is pushed out and the gold is surpassed.

assuming that the seafloor is spreading at a rate of 1.3cm/yr, calculate how long it took africa's west coast to move 2400 kn aw
Verdich [7]

Answer: 184,615,384.6 years

Explanation:

This problem can be solve by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

V=1.3 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 km}{100000 cm}=0.000013 \frac{km}{year} is the spreading rate of the seafloor, its velocity

d=2400 km is the distance the Africa's west coast moved at this rate

t is the time it took to the coast to move the descibed distance

Isolating t from (1):

t=\frac{d}{V} (2)

t=\frac{2400 km}{0.000013 \frac{km}{year}} (3)

Finally:

t=184,615,384.6 years This is the time it took to the Africa's west coastto  move away from the Mid atlantic ridge.

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

T - mg = ma

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

T = 54 N

now we have

54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a

a = 1 m/s^2

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2

t = 2 s

A U-tube with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 cm2 is open to the atmosphere at both ends. Water is poured into the tube until the
Doss [256]

Answer:

0.89 g/cm^3 = 890 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Cross sectional area of U-tube ( A ) = 1.00 cm^2

volume of oil ( V )  = 5.00 cm^3

change between top surface = 0.550 cm

height of oil = 5 cm  ( volume / area )

height of water = 5 - 0.550 = 4.45 cm

pressure at the oil-water junction = Pressure on the second side of the U-tube at same level

Po * g * Hoil = Pw * g * Hwater

Po * 5 = 1 * 4.45

∴ Density of oil ( Po ) = 4.45 / 5  g/cm^3 = 0.89 g/cm^3

A long distance runner sees the finish line and accelerates at a rate in 1.2 m/s2 for
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: he did travel 15 meters.

Explanation:

We have the data:

Acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s^2

Time lapes = 3 seconds

Initial speed = 3.2 m/s.

Then we start writing the acceleration:

a(t) = 1.2 m/s^2

now for the velocity, we integrate over time:

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + v0

with v0 = 3.2 m/s

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + 3.2 m/s

For the position, we integrate again.

p(t) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*t^2 + 3.2m/s*t + p0

Because we want to know the displacementin those 3 seconds ( p(3s) - p(0s)) we can use p0 = 0m

Then the displacement at t = 3s will be equal to p(3s).

p(3s) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*(3s)^2 + 3.2m/s*3s = 15m
