Answer: option c. magnitude and direction

Explanation:

1) Force is a vector: it has magnitude and direction.

2) Magnitude measures the "intensity" of the force. It is measured in newtons (N), in the SI (international system of units). One newton is the force exerted to confere an acceleration of 1 m/s² to a mass of 1 kg.

3) Telling the magnitude of the force is not enough information to understand what the force is and to predict its effect.

It is necessary to tell the direction in which the force is applied.

It is not the same a force of 10 N that pulls that the same magnitude pushing. And it is not the same a hhorizontal force of 100 N to move an object, than the same magnitude applied at an agle.

That is why the force must be measured and reported as a magnitude and a direction.

4) Examples of forces correctly reported are:

i) 100 N vertically upward

ii) 1000 N 20° to the east of the north.

iii) 0.2 N with an elevation angle of 50°.

Then, scientists must measure the magnitude and the direction of the force.

1. The answer is C.
It is the magnitude and the direction that the scientist considered to measure the aspect of force.
=> Magnitude can be describe in 3 terms.
In mathematics it is considered as the relative size of an object.
IN Astronomy, it is considered as the measure of brightness and differences of brightness in astronomy study
And in earthquake, it is a measure of the energy of earthquake.
=> Direction is a course or an explicit instruction where a certain object move.

Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C, and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g . A canister is

Pani-rosa [81]

294400 cal The heating of the water will have 3 phases 1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C 2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise 3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase. We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion. 80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C 420 * 100 = 42000 cal Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away. 420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal So the total number of cal used is 25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal

When 551. mg of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 100 g of benzonitrile (CH,CN), the freezing point of the solutio

arsen [322]

Answer:

1.12g/mol

Explanation:

The freezing point depression of a solvent for the addition of a solute follows the equation:

ΔT = Kf*m*i

Where ΔT is change in temperature (Benzonitrile freezing point: -12.82°C; Freezing point solution: 13.4°C)

ΔT = 13.4°C - (-12.82) = 26.22°C

m is molality of the solution

Kf is freezing point depression constant of benzonitrile (5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹)

And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for all solutes in benzonitrile)

Replacing:

26.22°C = 5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹*m*1

4.90mol/kg = molality of the compound X

As the mass of the solvent is 100g = 0.100kg:

4.9mol/kg * 0.100kg = 0.490moles

There are 0.490 moles of X in 551mg = 0.551g, the molar mass (Ratio of grams and moles) is:

0.551g / 0.490mol

= 1.12g/mol

This result has no sense but is the result by using the freezing point of the solution = 13.4°C. Has more sense a value of -13.4°C.

How do I do letter D? Someone help me please

Minchanka [31]

So for D you have to find energy right
from c you get wavelength Lambda
so on D use this
E = Hc / lambda
c is given 1.5 x 10 ^20
h = 6.624 x 10^-34
and then you get answer for energy

an atom has a charge of -3 in its orbitals which statement must be true in order for this atom to have no net charge

NISA [10]

Answer:

The atom must lose its three extra electrons to make the atom over all neutral.

Explanation:

The three subatomic particles construct an atom electron, proton and neutron. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

If an atom have -3 charge it means three more electrons are added. In order to make the atom overall neutral three more electrons must be removed so that negative and positive charge becomes equal and cancel the effect of each other and make the atom neutral.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and neutron:

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg
