Answer: 42.49
Explanation:
To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:
While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.
Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 
The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.
Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side
By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.
(1) Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)
Searching for the Va in (1)
Va = G/Tan(∅)
Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°
Va = 9.81
/ Tan(13.0°)
Va = 42.49
The vans acceleration need to be 42.49
to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof
The quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.
Answer:
There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.
Explanation:
The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.
In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.
The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.
