You are given a fixed rate of 15.9 cm³/s. You are also given with the amount of volume in 237 cm³. Through the approach of dimensional analysis, you can manipulate through operations such that the end result of the units must be in seconds. The solution is as follows:

237 cm³ * (1 s/15.9 cm³) = 14.9 seconds

A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: $s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t$

For the horse: $s_h = s_0 + a_ht^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0136t^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2$

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

$s_c = s_h$

$0.233t = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2$

$0.0068t^2 - 0.233t + 1.57 = 0$

$t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$t= \frac{0.233\pm \sqrt{(-0.233)^2 - 4*(0.0068)*(1.57)}}{2*(0.0068)}$

$t= \frac{0.233\pm0.11}{0.0136}$

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.

fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force $N= mg cos 22$

$\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N$

Carlos is making phosphorous trichloride using the equation below. He adds 15 g of phosphorus.

Degger [83]

Given:

The balanced chemical reaction of the synthesis of phosphorus trichloride:

2P + 3Cl2 ===> 2PCl3

Initial amount of phosphorus = 15 grams

The amount of product produced from 15 grams of phosphorus:

15 grams / 31 g/mol * (2/2) = 66.46 grams PCl3

The amount of chlorine is 44.31 grams, nearest to 45 grams.
