Answer:

16:1

Explanation:

Atoms of element X weigh 32 times more than atoms of element Y. We can write this in a symbolic way.

mX = 32 mY   [1]

where,

  • mX and mY are the masses of X and Y, respectively

A compound has the formula: XY₂, that is, in 1 molecule of XY₂ there is 1 atom of X and 2 atoms of Y. The ratio of the mass of X to the mass of Y in this compound equals:

mX/2 mY  [2]

If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:

mX/2 mY = 32 mY/2 mY = 16 = 16:1

What enables Dna to have so many variations with only 4 chemicals?
elena-s [515]
There are many combinations because it is not all about the number of chemicals, but also about the size of the strand. The longer the strand the more combinations there are and more variations and various lengths provide various results.

A 1.50-kilogram ball is attached to the end of a 0.520-meter string and swung in a circle. The velocity of the ball is 9.78 m/s.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

F centripetal force (tension) = 275.9  N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 1.50 kg

Radius = 0.520 m

Velocity of ball = 9.78 m/s

Tension = ?

Solution:

F centripetal force (tension) =  m.v² / R

F centripetal force (tension) = 1.50 kg . (9.78 m/s)² / 0.520 m

F centripetal force (tension) = 1.50 kg . 95.65 m²/s² / 0.520 m

F centripetal force (tension) = 143.5 kg. m²/s² / 0.520 m

F centripetal force (tension) = 275.9  N
