Answer:

190 pounds  

Explanation:

Given that  

A pound is approximately 0.45 kilogram

A person weighs 87 kilograms

Now change the unit form kilogram to pounds as follows:

 

1 pound / 0.45 kilogram * 87 kilograms

= 193.3 pounds

Now expressed to the correct number of significant figures

193.3 pound = 190 pounds

Part A:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0  grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Lance is a 60-kg runner who, on a good day, runs at a speed of 5 m/s. What is his kinetic energy when he runs at this speed? *
Contact [7]

Answer:

His kinetic energy when he runs at that 5 m/s is 750 joules

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of, Lance, the runner = 60-kg

The speed by which Lance is running = 5 m/s

The kinetic energy, KE, is given by the relation;

KE = 1/2×m×v²

Where;

m = The mass = 60-kg

v = The instantaneous speed of motion = 5 m/s

The kinetic energy can be found by substituting the values of the variables in the kinetic energy equation as follows;

KE = 1/2 × 60 kg × (5 m/s)² = 750 joules

His kinetic energy when he runs at that 5 m/s is 750 joules.
