A small hole in the wing of a space shuttle requires a 15.9 cm2 patch.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
8 0

The patch area in square kilometers is 1.59*10⁻⁹ km₂

Why?

This is an unit conversion problem. We have to convert from cm² to km². We can do that by knowing that there are 100 cm in 1 m, and 1000 m in 1 km, so 100000 cm=1km. Knowing that we can apply the following conversion factor:

15.9 cm^{2} * (\frac{1 km}{100000 cm} )^{2}=0.00000000159 km^{2}

Now to convert this value to scientific notation, we have to move the decimal point to the right until we get a whole number, and the exponent of the number 10 is going to be the number of spaces we moved to the right (negative), so the final answer is:

0.00000000159 km^{2}=1.59*10^{-9} km^{2}

Have a nice day!

Forces between similar molecules are said to be
podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.

Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of indium: indium-113 and indium-115. How many neutrons are in a single atom of indiu
KonstantinChe [14]
There are 66 neutrons in a single atom of indium-115. The atomic number of indium-115 is 49, meaning there are 49 protons. Then the atomic mass is 115, so 115-49 = 66.
