Answer:

If an object is electrically neutral it has no net charge becuase it has the same number of protons as it does electrons, which are opposite charges that offset each other. No, that just means that the sum of all its positive and negative amounts of charge equals zero.

A girl launches a toy rocket from the ground. The engine experiences an average thrust of 5.26 N. The mass of the engine plus fu

Triss [41]

Answer: The answer for A is - v = 786.93 m/s

The answer for B is - v = 122.40 m/s

Explanation:

a) To find the average exhaust speed (v) of the engine we can use the following equation:

F = vΔm

Where:

F: is the thrust by the engine = 5.26 N

Δm: is the mass of the fuel = 12.7 g

Δt: is the time of the burning of fuel = 1.90 s

v = F×ΔT/ΔT

b) To calculate the final velocity of the rocket we need to find the acceleration.

The acceleration (a) can be calculated as follows:

a = F/M

In the above equation, m is an average between the mass of the engine plus the rocket case mass and the mass of the engine plus the rocket case minus the fuel mass:

m = (m_{engine} + m_{rocket}) + (m_{engine} + m_{rocket} - m_{fuel})}{2} = {2*m_{engine} + 2*m_{rocket} - m_{fuel}}{2} = 2*25.0 g + 2*63.0 g - 12.7 g}{2} = 81.65 g

Now, the acceleration is:

a = 5.26 N/81.65-t 10^³kg} = 64.42 m*s^²

Finally, the final velocity of the rocket can be calculated using the following kinematic equation:

v= v_{0} + at = 0 + 64.42 m*s^{-2}*1.90 s = 122.40 m/s

How can gravitational tugs from orbiting planets affect the motion of a star?.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Gravitational tugs from orbiting planets don't affect the motion of a star. The star, being much larger than the planet, has a much smaller orbit. But it does move slightly. Explain how alien astronomers could deduce the existence of planets in our solar system by observing the Sun's motion.

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 8?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Taking into account the definition of pH and pOH, the concentration of H⁺ ions at pH=8 is 1×10⁻⁸ M and the concentration of OH⁻ ions at pH=8 is 1×10⁻⁶ M.

<h3>Definition of pH</h3>

pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance.

The pH is defined as the negative base 10 logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, that is, the concentration of hydrogen ions or H₃O⁺:

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

<h3>Definition of pOH</h3>

Similarly, pOH is a measure of hydroxyl ions in a solution and is expressed as the logarithm of the concentration of OH⁻ ions, with the sign changed:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

<h3 /><h3>Relationship between pH and pOH</h3>

The following relationship can be established between pH and pOH:

pOH + pH= 14

<h3>Concentration of H⁺ ions</h3>

In this case, pH=8. Replacing in the definition of pH:

8= - log [H⁺]

Solving:

Finally, the concentration of H⁺ ions at pH=8 is 1×10⁻⁸ M.

<h3>Concentration of OH⁻ ions</h3>

Being pH= 8, pOH is calculated as:

pOH + 8= 14

pOH= 14 - 8

pOH= 6

Replacing in the definition of pOH the concentration of OH⁻ ions is obtained:

- log [OH⁻]= 6

Solving

Finally, the concentration of OH⁻ ions at pH=8 is 1×10⁻⁶ M.

Explain how to identify a starting position<br> on a line.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

We can easily find out the beginning point of the line by using dot representation. When it comes to position vector, it expresses the exact position of certain object from the starting point of the coordinate system. The vector is a straight line that has a certain end which is fixed to its body
