A paper airplane moving 2.33 m/s has 0.161 J of KE. What is its mass? (Unit = kg)

Physics

LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
4 0

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = speed

Given values:

KE = 0.161J, v = 2.33m/s

Plug in and solve for m:

0.161 = 0.5m(2.33)²

m = 0.059kg

A student tests the acidity of nitric acid (HNO3) by dissolving a sample of HNO3 in a solution of liquid methane. He then uses a
DerKrebs [107]
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:

1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:

2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.

What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes
taurus [48]

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}

where \Delta t is the time that took to change from the initial velocity v_i to the final velocity v_f
