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.
Does that help?
Answer:
Compression is the answer
Explanation:
got it right
The total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.
The given parameters;
- <em>First displacement of the car, = 5 cm left</em>
- <em>Second displacement of the car, = 8 cm right</em>
- <em>Third displacement of the car, = 3 cm to the left</em>
The total displacement of the car is calculated as follows;
- <em>Let the </em><em>left </em><em>direction be "</em><em>negative </em><em>direction"</em>
- <em>Let the </em><em>right </em><em>direction be "</em><em>positive </em><em>direction"</em>

Thus, the total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.

Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg
We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

Where
c is the speed of light
So,

So, the energy obtained is
.
The average act on her during the deceleration is 4.47 meters per second.
<u>Explanation</u>:
<u>Given</u>:
youngster mass m = 50.0 kg
She steps off a 1.00 m high platform that is s = 1 meter
She comes to rest in the 10-meter second
<u>To Find</u>:
The average force and momentum
<u>Formulas</u>:
p = m * v
F * Δ t = Δ p
vf^2= vi^2+2as
<u>Solution</u>:
a = 9.8 m/s
vi = 0
vf^2= 0+2(9.8)(1)
vf^2 = 19.6
vf = 4.47 m/s .
Therefore the average force is 4.47 m/s.
