Jack is playing with a Newton's cradle. As he lifts one ball to position A and drops it, it impacts the other balls at position

B and becomes stationary while the ball on the opposite side leaps into the air swinging to position C. What is happening to cause this?

Answer:

Newton's Cradle is a neat way to demonstrate the principle of the CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM.

What happens here is when the ball on one end of the cradle is swung and it hits the other balls that are motionless, or stationary, the momentum of the swinging ball is transferred to the next ball upon impact.

Momentum is not lost in this action, what happens when it hits the next ball, the momentum is transferred to the next one, and then the next, and the the next, till it reaches the last ball on the other end. Since nothing is next to the last ball, it pushes the ball upwards, which will swing down and repeat the process going the other way.

This also demonstrates the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. As you will see, the energy continues to move through the other balls, passing it from one ball to the other, which keeps this constantly moving.

D = m / V


It even gives you the density of gold in the problem. Major hint. Once you know the volume (using V = m / D) then you can calculate the height (thickness) from the equation...


V = L x W x H

Volume = Length x Width x Height


start by converting 200.0 mg into grams

1000 mg = 1 g

200. mg x (1 g / 10^3 mg) = 0.200 g


V = m / D

V = 0.200 g / (19.32 g/cm^3)

V = 0.01035 cm^3


Convert 2.4 ft and 1 ft to cm

2.4 ft x (12 in / 1 ft) x (2.54 cm / 1 in) = 73.15 cm

1 ft = 30.48 cm


Compute the height (thickness)

V = LxWxH

H = V / LW = 0.01035 cm^3 / 73.15 cm / 30.48 cm

H = 4.64 x 10^-6 cm


Convert to nanometers

4.64 x 10^-6 cm x (1 m / 100 cm) x (10^9 nm / 1 m) = 46.4 nm


Knowing the atomic radius of gold, I might have asked my students for the minimum number of gold atoms in this thickness of gold. This would assume that the gold atoms are all in a row. This would give the minimum number of gold atoms.


Atomic radius gold = 174 pm

Diameter = 348 pm


46.4 nm x (1 m / 10^9 nm) x (10^12 pm / 1 m) x (1 Au atom / 248 pm) = 133 atoms of gold

HC2H3O2(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) + ----> H2O(l) + Ba(C2H3O2)(aq)
anzhelika [568]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

 <span>2HC2H3O2(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) + ----> 2H2O(l) + Ba(C2H3O2)2(aq)

We are given the amount of </span><span>HC2H3O2 to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculation.

</span> 0.461 mol HC2H3O2 ( 1 mol Ba(OH)2 / 2 mol HC2H3O2<span> ) = 0.231 mol Ba(OH)2</span>
