Glass is denser than air, so a light ray passing from air into glass slows down. A light ray speeds up as it passes from glass into air, and bends away from the normal by the same angle.

PLEASE HELP ASAP Which one of the following is a step used for balancing chemical equations?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

C. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

In order for a chemical equation to be balanced, the condition which must be met is that the number of atoms in the reactants equals the number of atoms in the products.

This ultimately implies that, the mass and charge of the chemical equation are both balanced properly.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

One of the step used for balancing chemical equations is to count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

For example;

NH3 + O2 -----> NO + H2O

The number of atoms in each chemical element are;

For the reactant side:

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 3

Oxygen, O = 2

For the product side;

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 2

Oxygen, O = 2

When we balance the chemical equation, we would have;

NH3 + 3O2 -----> 4NO + 2H2O

A sound wave moving with a speed of 1500 m/s is sent from a submarine to the ocean floor. It reflects off the
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v}  \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

The speed at which a light aircraft can take off is 120 km/h. (A) What is the minimum constant acceleration required for the pla
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

A) a = 2.31[m/s^2]; B) t = 14.4 [s]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the kinematic equations, but firts we must identify the data:

Vf= final velocity = take off velocity = 120[km/h]

Vi= initial velocity = 0, because the plane starts to move from the rest.

dx= distance to run = 240 [m]

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{i} ^{2}+2*g*dx\\where:\\v_{f}=120[\frac{km}{h} ]*\frac{1hr}{3600sg} * \frac{1000m}{1km} =33.33[m/s]\\\\Replacing\\33.33^{2}=0+2*a*(240)\\ a=\frac{11108.88}{2*240}\\  a=2.31[m/s^2]\\

To find the time we must use another kinematic equation.

v_{f} =v_{i} +a*t\\replacing:\\33.33=0+(2.31*t)\\t=\frac{33.33}{2.31}\\ t=14.4[s]

A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most
Oxana [17]

Answer:

A)  I_{total} = 1.44 kg m², B) moment of inertia must increase

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is defined by

     I = ∫ r² dm

For figures with symmetry it is tabulated, in the case of a cylinder the moment of inertia with respect to a vertical axis is

      I = ½ m R²

A very useful theorem is the parallel axis theorem that states that the moment of inertia with respect to another axis parallel to the center of mass is

    I = I_{cm} + m D²

Let's apply these equations to our case

The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity, so we can add the moment of inertia of the body and both arms

      I_{total}=I_{body} + 2 I_{arm}

       I_{body} = ½ M R²

The total mass is 64 kg, 1/8 corresponds to the arms and the rest to the body

       M = 7/8 m total

       M = 7/8 64

       M = 56 kg

The mass of the arms is

      m’= 1/8 m total

      m’= 1/8 64

      m’= 8 kg

As it has two arms the mass of each arm is half

     m = ½ m ’

     m = 4 kg

The arms are very thin, we will approximate them as a particle

    I_{arm} = M D²

Let's write the equation

     I_{total} = ½ M R² + 2 (m D²)

Let's calculate

    I_{total} = ½ 56 0.20² + 2 4 0.20²

    I_{total} = 1.12 + 0.32

    I_{total} = 1.44 kg m²

b) if you separate the arms from the body, the distance D increases quadratically, so the moment of inertia must increase
