Answer:

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.

m_a_m_a [10]

The chemical symbol for the element zinc is Zn.

<h3>What is element?</h3>

A chemical element is the one which reacts with other elements to form a compound.

Any chemical symbol must have its first letter written in Uppercase. If the element has two letter chemical symbol, then it should be written in lowercase.

Thus, the student wrote Zn as the chemical symbol of Zinc on the whiteboard.

The second-order rate constants for the reaction of oxygen atoms ·with aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured (R. Atkinson and
Blizzard [7]

Answer:  Frequency factor  A = 8 × 10⁹

activation energy Ea = 15.5 KJ/Mol

Explanation: to begin, let us first define the parameters given;

K₁ = 1.44 × 10⁷dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

K₂ = 3.03 × 10⁷ dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

K₃ = 6.9 × 10 dm³mol⁻¹s⁻¹

also T₁ = 300.3 K

T₂ = 341.2 K

T₃ = 392.2 K

we know that;

㏑ K₂ / K₁ = Ea/R [1/T₁ -1/T₂]

where R is given as 8.314 J/mol-k

Ea = activation energy

K₁, K₂ = rate constant

T₁, T₂ = Temperature

therefore, ㏑ (3.03 × 10⁷/ 1.44 × 10⁷) = Ea / 8.314 [1/300.3 - 1/341.2]

this gives Ea = 15496.16 J/Mol ≈ 15.5 KJ /Mol

∴ Ea = 15.5 KJ/ Mol

also given that K = A e⁻∧Ea/RT

here A = frequency factor

∴ 6.9 × 10⁷ = A e⁻ ∧(15496.16/8.314 × 392.2)

A = 7.99 × 10⁹ = 8 × 10⁹

A particle of mass m moves under a conservative force with potential energy V ( x )= cx/(x2+a2),where c and a are positive const
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The position of stable equilibrium is -a

And the period of small oscillations  must be: c/(ma^3)

Explanation:

Since the potential is:

V(x) = \frac{c x}{a^2+x^2}

We first look for a position of stable equilibrium. This posiiton must satisfy two considtions, that the first derivative of the potential must vanish at this point and the second derivative must be positive.

V'(x) = \frac{c}{a^2+x^2}-\frac{2 c x^2}{\left(a^2+x^2\right)^2}

Which vanish for

x = a   ; x =-a

The second derivative of V(x) is:

V''(x) = \frac{8 c x^3}{\left(a^2+x^2\right)^3}-\frac{6 c x}{\left(a^2+x^2\right)^2}

And:

V''(a) = -\frac{c}{2 a^3}\\V''(-a) = \frac{c}{2 a^3}\\

Therefore:

a)

The position of stable equilibrium is -a

And the period of small oscillations  must be:

\omega = \sqrt{2 V''(-a)/m} = \sqrt{\frac{c}{a^3 m}}

(c/(ma^3))^1/2

b)

Let's find the maximum amplitude if the particle starts at this point with velocity v

If this is the case, the total energy will be:

(mv^2)/2

And the maximum amplitude will be

x = a^3/c mv^2 = (m v^2 a^3)/ c

This is an organism which feeds on but usually does not kill a larger organism
Arte-miy333 [17]
An epiparasite is a parasite that parasitizes another organism that is also a parasite. Epiparasites are also called hyperparasites or secondary parasites. They feed on another organism, but they do not kill the organism they feed on.
