Explain why ionic compounds are neutral even though they are made up of charged particles

Ionic compounds are made up of two charged species, a cation (+) and an anion (–).

The charges must balance out to zero for a stable ionic compound, because ionic bonds are formed between two charged species. They form in ratios according to their charges to balance out.

A child on a sled slides (starting from rest) down an icy slope that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal. After sliding 20
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A) v₁ = 10.1 m/s t₁= 4.0 s

B) x₂= 17.2 m

C) v₂=7.1 m/s

D) x₂=7.5 m

Explanation:

A)

  • Assuming no friction, total mechanical energy must keep constant, so the following is always true:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = (K_{f} - K_{o}) +( U_{f} - U_{o}) = 0  (1)

  • Choosing the ground level as our zero reference level, Uf =0.
  • Since the child starts from rest, K₀ = 0.
  • From (1), ΔU becomes:
  • \Delta U = 0- m*g*h = -m*g*h (2)  
  • In the same way, ΔK becomes:
  • \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{1}^{2}  (3)      
  • Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), and simplifying, we get:

       \frac{1}{2}*v_{1}^{2}  = g*h  (4)

  • In order to find v₁, we need first to find h, the height of the slide.
  • From the definition of sine of an angle, taking the slide as a right triangle, we can find the height h, knowing the distance that the child slides down the slope, x₁, as follows:

       h = x_{1} * sin \theta_{1} = 20.0 m * sin 15 = 5.2 m (5)

       Replacing (5) in (4) and solving for v₁, we get:

      v_{1} = \sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8m/s2*5.2m} = 10.1 m/s  (6)

  • As this speed is achieved when all the energy is kinetic, i.e. at the bottom of the first slide, this is the answer we were looking for.
  • Now, in order to finish A) we need to find the time that the child used to reach to that point, since she started to slide at the its top.
  • We can do this in more than one way, but a very simple one is using kinematic equations.
  • If we assume that the acceleration is constant (which is true due the child is only accelerated by gravity), we can use the following equation:

       v_{1}^{2} - v_{o}^{2} = 2*a* x_{1}  (7)

  • Since v₀ = 0 (the child starts from rest) we can solve for a:

       a = \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2*x_{1} } = \frac{(10.1m/s)^{2}}{2* 20.0m} = 2.6 m/s2  (8)

  • Since v₀ = 0, applying the definition of acceleration, if we choose t₀=0, we can find t as follows:

       t_{1} =\frac{v_{1} }{a} =\frac{10.1m/s}{2.6m/s2} = 4.0 s  (9)

B)

  • Since we know the initial speed for this part, the acceleration, and the time, we can use the kinematic equation for displacement, as follows:

       x_{2} = v_{1} * t_{2} + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2}*t_{2}^{2}  (10)

  • Replacing the values of v₁ = 10.1 m/s, t₂= 2.0s and a₂=-1.5m/s2 in (10):

       x_{2} = 10.1m/s * 2.0s + \frac{1}{2} *(-1.5m/s2)*(2.0s)^{2}  = 17.2 m (11)

C)  

  • From (6) and (8), applying the definition for acceleration, we can find the speed of the child whem she started up the second slope, as follows:

       v_{2} = v_{1} + a_{2} *t_{2} = 10.1m/s - 1.5m/s2*2.0s = 7.1 m/s (12)

D)

  • Assuming no friction, all the kinetic energy when she started to go up the second slope, becomes gravitational potential energy when she reaches to the maximum height (her speed becomes zero at that point), so we can write the following equation:

       \frac{1}{2}*v_{2}^{2}  = g*h_{2}   (13)

  • Replacing from (12) in (13), we can solve for h₂:

       h_{2} =\frac{v_{2} ^{2}}{2*g} = \frac{(7.1m/s) ^{2}}{2*9.8m/s2} = 2.57 m  (14)

  • Since we know that the slide makes an angle of 20º with the horizontal, we can find the distance traveled up the slope applying the definition of sine of an angle, as follows:

       x_{3} = \frac{h_{2} }{sin 20} = \frac{2.57m}{0.342} = 7.5 m (15)

igomit [66]

Answer:

W_2=-12J

Explanation:

The work of force 2 will be given by the vectorial equation W_2=F_2.d. We know the value of F_1 and have information about its movement, which relates to the net force F=F_1+F_2.

About this movement we can obtain the acceleration using the equation v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad. Since it departs from rest we have a=\frac{v_f^2}{2d}.

And then using Newton's 2dn Law we can obtain the net force F=ma, thus we will have F_2=F-F_1=ma-F1=\frac{mv_f^2}{2d}-F_1

And we had the work done by force 2 as:

W_2=F_2.d=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-F_1d

(The sign will be given algebraically since we take positive the direction to the right.)

With our values:

W_2=\frac{(10kg)(2m/s)^2}{2}-(8N)(4m)=-12J

<em>Another (shorter but maybe less intuitive way for someone who is learning) way of doing this would have been to say that the work done by both forces would be equal to the variation of kinetic energy:</em>

<em>W_1+W_2=K_f-K_i=K_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}</em>

<em>Which leads us to the previous equation straightforwardly.</em>

Identify the solute and solvent in a solution made of 15g of oxygen and 5g<br> of helium
Marrrta [24]

Taking into account the definition of solvent and solute, helium is the solute and oxygen is the solvent.

<h3>Definition of solute and solvent</h3>

The solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components that have the same chemical and physical properties in a single phase. A solution is made up of two main components: the solute and the solvent.

That is, the solute and the solvent are the components of a chemical solution, that is, of a homogeneous mixture that occurs when one or more substances are dissolved in another substance.

The solute is the substance that dissolves in a solution. In solution, the solute is usually found in a lower proportion than the solvent.

Solvent is the substance in which a solute dissolves, resulting in a chemical solution. Generally, the solvent is the component that is found in the highest proportion in the solution. It will always be the solvent who will determine the state of the matter that will have the solution.

<h3>Solute ans solvent in this case</h3>

In this case,  you consider that the solute is the component in less quantity and the solvent is the major component.

You know that a solution made of 15 g of oxygen and 5 g of helium. Then, helium is the solute and oxygen is the solvent.
