4. A small rocket with a mass of 2000 g (hint: grams) accelerates at 8.3 m/s/s as it launches into the sky. How much force is ac

Answer:

16.6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rocket = 2000g = 2kg

Acceleration = 8.3m/s²

Unknown:

Force acting on the rocket = ?

Solution:

The force acting on a body can be derived from the product of its mass and acceleration;

Force = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

Force = 2 x 8.3 = 16.6N

Which method will correctly determine whether the forces on an object are balanced or unbalanced?

MaRussiya [10]

For this case, the first thing you should do is define a reference system.

Once the system is defined, we must follow the following steps:

1) Do the sum of forces in a horizontal direction

2) Do the sum of forces in vertical direction

The forces will be balanced if for each direction the net force is equal to zero.

The forces will be unbalanced if for each direction the net force is nonzero.

Answer:

Add the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions separately.

Which of these ionic compounds have polyatomic ions? Check all that apply.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

CaCO₃ and
NaOH.

Explanation:

Polyatomic ions are ions that contain more than one atom in each one of the ions.

Ionic compounds are made of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ion). By convention, the cation is written before the anion.

List the ions in each compound:

<h3>CaCO₃</h3>

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ .

$\rm Ca^{2+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {CO_3}^{2-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains four atoms (one C atom and three O atoms) in each ion.

<h3>NaF</h3>

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm F^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm F^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>FeO</h3>

Cation: $\rm Fe^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {O}^{2-}$ .

Both $\rm Fe^{2+}$ and $\rm O^{2-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>CaCl₂</h3>

Cation: $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {Cl}^{-}$ .

Both $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>NaOH</h3>

Cation: $\rm Na^{+}$ ,

Anion: $\rm {OH}^{-}$ .

$\rm Na^{+}$ is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

$\rm {OH}^{-}$ is a polyatomic ion for it contains two atoms (one O atom and one H atom) in each ion.

A boy threw a ball upward and it took 3 sec to reach the highest point. Determine the initial velocity of the ball.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

V initial = 29.4 m.s²

Explanation:

( Using the laws of motion)

V final = V initial + Acceleration × time

0 = V initial + ( -9.8)(3)

29.4 = V initial

* I took upward as positive that's why I substituted -9.8 *

* for V final we know that at maximum height the ball is not moving thats why is = 0 *

During a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational f

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

$F= 2.3733 x10^{20} N$

Explanation:

Let's define the variables to proceed with the operations,

So,

The masses

$M_ {sun} = 1.99 * 10^{30} Kg$

$M_ {Earth} = 5.98 * 10 ^ {24} Kg$

$M_ {Moon} = 7.36 * 10 ^{22} Kg$

Average distances

$\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} = 1.5 * 10 ^ {11} m$

$\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon} = 3.84 * 10 ^ 8m$

Gravitational constant

$G = 6.67 * 10^ {-11} \frac {Nm ^ 2} {kg ^ 2}$

The formula of the Gravitational Force between the Moon and the Earth would be,

$F = \frac {GM_ {Earth} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}$

$F= \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(5.98*10^{24}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(3.84*10^8m)^2}$

$F = 1.9908 * 10 ^{20} N$

This force is in the direction of the earth.

We perform the same process but now between the Sun and the Moon, like this,

$F_2 = \frac {GM_ {Sun} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} - \bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}$

$F_2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(1.99*10^{30}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(1.5*10^{11}m-3.84*10^8m)^2}$

$F_2 = 4.3641*10^-{ 20} N$

This force is in the direction of the Sun

The net force must be

$F_ {net} = F_2-F$

$F_ {net} = 2.3733*10^{20} N$

This in the direction of the Sun.
