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.

A complete series circuit consists of a 12.0 V battery, a 4.70 O resistor, and a switch. The internal resistance of the battery
RoseWind [281]

With the switch open, there's no current in the circuit, and therefore
no voltage drop across any of the dissipative elements (the resistor
or the battery's internal impedance).  So the entire battery voltage
appears across the switch, and the voltmeter reads 12.0V .

Calculate the force of attraction between
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

So the force of attraction between the two objects is 3.3365*10^-6

Explanation:

m1=10kg

m2=50kg

d=10cm=0.1m

G=6.673*10^-11Nm^2kg^2

We have to find the force of attraction between them

F=Gm1m2/d^2

F=6.673*10^-11*10*50/0.1^2

F=3.3365*10^-8/0.01

F=3.3365*10^-6

A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a) 4.583 m/s

b) 31.505 J

c) 0.491 m/s

d) 3.375 J

e)

   p_player = (110 kg)(8 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

   p_ball = (0.41 kg)(25 m/s) = 10.25 kg m/s

Explanation:

HI!

a)

We can calculate the recoil velocity by conservation of momentum, remember that p=mv.

The momentum of the bullet is:

p_b = (0.0250 kg)*(550 m/s )

The momentum of the rifle is:

p_r = (3 kg) * v

Since the total initial momentum is zero:

p_b = p_r

That is:

v = (550 m/s ) (0.0250 kg/ 3 kg ) = 4.583 m/s

b)

The kinetic energy gained by the rifle is:

K = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) *(3 kg) *(4.583 m/s)^2 = 31.505 J

c)

We use the same formula as in a), but with m=28kg instead of 3 kg

v = (550 m/s ) (0.0250 kg/ 28 kg ) = 0.491 m/s

d)

Again, the same formula as b, but with m=28 and v=0.491 m/s

K = 3.375 J

e)

p_player = (110 kg)(8 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

p_ball = (0.41 kg)(25 m/s) = 10.25 kg m/s

I believe that the kinetic energy is more related to the problem than the momentum. The relation between these two quantities is:

K = p^2/(2m)

usiing this relation, we get:

K_player = 3520 J

K_ball =  128.125 J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the player is around 27 time larger than the kinetic energy of the ball, that being said, the pain of being tackled by that player is around 27 times greater that being hit by the ball!

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>
