I assume you mean fortnight? haha

Anyway, to answer this question, we need to have prior knowledge of time measurements. You should know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.

Therefore, if a fortnight is 14 days, we should multiply 14 by 24 to work out how many hours there are:

14 × 24 = 336 hours

Now, we should multiply 336 by 60 to work out the number of minutes:

336 × 60 = 20,160 minutes

And finally, we just need to multiply 20,160 by 60 again to work out the number of seconds:

20,160 × 60 = 1,209,600 seconds

And there you go! Your final answer is 1,209,600 seconds.

A 250 mL sample of nitrogen(N2) has a pressure of 745 mm Hg at 30 C.What is the mass of nitrogen?

Lera25 [3.4K]

We assume that nitrogen gas sample here is an ideal gas. So that, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as follows:

PV = nRT

First, we calculate the number of moles from the equation above. Then, use molar mass to calculate mass.

n = PV/RT
n = (745/760) (0.250) / 0.08206 (30+273.15)
n = 0.01 mol

m = 0.01 ( 28) = 0.28 g

In the early 1900s, it was proposed that the law of conservation of mass should be simultaneously considered with the law of con

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

B. After a photon of light is absorbed by certain metals, electrons are found to be ejected from the metals. This is because the energy contained in the massless photon is used to eject an electron with mass out of the metal.

Explanation:

Before, in the early days, it was proposed to form a combined theory by joining the theory of conservation of mass and the theory of conservation of energy and form a combined theory of conservation of mass-energy. It was done to explain a particular theory of $\text{photoelectric effect}$ .

The $\text{photoelectric effect}$ is the emission of the electrons form the surface of a metal when light energy strikes on it. Here, in this phenomenon, both mass and energy is conserved.

When the light strikes a metal surface, electrons gets ejected from the surface. The energy of the photon is used to eject the electron form the metal surface.

A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical a

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

-7.23 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m

Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²

Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s

Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s

The initial angular momentum of rim is

Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89

Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s

The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is

L = -mvr

L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149

L = -0.068 kgm²/s

This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together

2.3*10^-2 + -0.068

L' = -0.045 kgm²/s

After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is

I(f) = I + mr²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3

I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²

Final angular momentum of the disk is

L'' = I(f).w(f)

L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)

Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have

-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0

w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3

w(f) = -7.23 rad/s

Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed

The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

An example of an action and reaction is sitting on a chair. Your body pushes down on the chair because of the force of what?

vaieri [72.5K]

Your body is pushing down on a chair because it is being attracted by gravity, the reason that your body is not moving down because there is a normal force acting on your body; together the net force of weight (m*g) and normal force is equal to zero

A 92kg astronaut and a 1200kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, giving

Harman [31]

Answer:

13.7m

Explanation:

Since there's no external force acting on the astronaut or the satellite, the momentum must be conserved before and after the push. Since both are at rest before, momentum is 0.

After the push

$m_av_a + m_sv_s = 0$

Where $m_a = 92kg$ is the mass of the astronaut, $m_s = 1200kg$ is the mass of the satellite, $v_s = 0.14 m/s$ is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed $v_a$ of the astronaut:

$v_a = \frac{-m_sv_s}{m_a} = \frac{-1200*0.14}{92} = -1.83 m/s$

So the astronaut has a opposite direction with the satellite motion, which is further away from the shuttle. Since it takes 7.5 s for the astronaut to make contact with the shuttle, the distance would be

d = vt = 1.83 * 7.5 = 13.7 m
