Answer:

0.06

Explanation:

On a level surface, normal force = weight.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Nμ = ma

mgμ = ma

gμ = a

μ = a/g

μ = (0.6 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.06

What is the chemical formula for copper (I) sulfide? A) CuS B) CuS2 C) Cu2S D) Cu2S3
Ganezh [65]

This problem can be solved by using oxidation states. The oxidation state  is based on the electrons an atom loses or gain, or appears to use when forming compounds.To find the formula for Copper (I) Sulfide, we have to first consider the individual ions that come together to form it. Copper (I) is an ion of copper that has a charge of  +1, i.e  Cu^{+} . Sulfur is an element in group 6 of the periodic table. The sulfur ion has a charge of  -2, i.e  S^{2-}.  To form Copper (I) Sulfide, which is electrically neutral, we need 2 Copper (I) ions and 1 sulfur ion.

Cu_2S= 2Cu^+ 1S^-^2= 2(+1) + (-2) = 0.

The reaction is represented by the equation below

2Cu^{+} +S^{2-}-->Cu_2S.

The correct answer is (C)

Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. If it fell with no air friction at all, it would accelerate to
LenKa [72]

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph
