Answer:

As, we know momentum = mass × velocity that is p = mv

we have momentum (p) = 2 kg m/s

and velocity (v) = 8 m/s

so substitute values in p=mv

2 kg m/s = m × 8 m / s

m = 2 / 8 kg = 0.25 kg

Therefore, mass of substance is 0.25 kg.

2/8 in fractional form.....

A mixture of nitrogen and xenon gases, at a total pressure of 836 mm Hg, contains 2.80 grams of nitrogen and 24.9 grams of xenon

larisa86 [58]

Answer: Partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_A=p_T\times \chi_A$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of substance A

$p_T$ = total pressure

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of substance A

We are given:

$m_{N_2}=2.80g$

$m_{Xe}=24.9g$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

And,

$n_A=\frac{m_A}{M_A}$

Mole fraction of nitrogen is given as:

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}}{(\frac{m_{N_2}}{M_{N_2}}+\frac{m_{Xe}}{M_{Xe}})}$

Molar mass of $N_2$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $Xe$ = g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{\frac{2.80}{28}}{\frac{2.80}{28}+\frac{24.9}{131}}$

$\chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.100}{0.100+0.190}=0.345$

To calculate the mole fraction of xenon, we use the equation:

$\chi_{Xe}+\chi_{N_2}=1\\\\\chi_{Xe}=1-0.345=0.655$

$p_{N_2}=836mmHg\times 0.345=288mmHg$

$p_{Xe}=836mmHg\times 0.655=548mmHg$

Thus partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

during a car ride Sandra travel led directly east for 20 miles and then directly south for 15 miles what was her displacement. 2

damaskus [11]

25 miles at 42.5 degrees east of south. (20^2+15^2 =C^2...You get 25 miles...East of South because she traveled a longer distance to the East. Then you find the angle between the original and ending point.) Hope it helps. You may ask me any other questions.

Explain why a moving object can be in equilibrium

Ivanshal [37]

Well, an equilibrium means that no force are changing an object's inertia (current state of motion).
