Velocity as a Vector Quantity
Because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. Since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity.

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:

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

How fast must a 1000 kg car be moving to have a kinetic energy of 2.0*10^3

lawyer [7]

Kinetic Energy is defined by Ke=1/2mv^2. Plug in and solve for v.

2,000 = 1/2(1000)(v)^2
4=(v)^2
v=2 m/s

The car must move at 2 m/s to have a Ke of 2,000 Joules.
