the three major scales used to measure earthquakes are Mercalli scale Richard scale and magnitude scale

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 36.86% n and 63.14% o by mass.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

$NO_{1.499}$

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

$n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }$

$n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol$

$n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }$

$n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol$

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

$n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}$

$n^{*}= 1.499$

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

$NO_{1.499}$

A 25 kg bear slides, from rest, 12 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.6 m/s just before hitting the ground.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

(A) -2940 J

(B) 392 J

(C) 212.33 N

Explanation:

mass of bear (m) = 25 kg

height of the pole (h) = 12 m

speed (v) = 5.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

(A) change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = mg(height at the bottom- height at the top)

height at the bottom = 0

= 25 x 9.8 x (0-12) = -2940 J

(B) kinetic energy of the Bear (KE) = $0.5mv^{2}$

= $0.5 x 25 x 5.6^{2}$ = 392 J

(C) average frictional force = $\frac{change in thermal energy}{height} = \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}$

change in KE (ΔKE) = initial KE - final KE
ΔKE = $0.5mv^{2}$ - $0.5mvf^{2}$
when the Bear reaches the bottom of the pole, the final velocity (Vf) is 0, therefore the change in kinetic energy becomes ΔKE = $0.5x25x5.6^{2}$ - 0 = 392 J

\frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}[/tex] = $\frac{-(392 + (-2940))}{12}$

= $\frac{(-392 + 2940)}{12}$ = 212.33 N

2. A woman prevents a 3kg brick from falling by pressing it against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction

Anettt [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Mass of the brick as 3 kg
The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

We need to importantly note that;
For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.

That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N

. If measurements of a gas are 75L and 300 kilopascals and then the gas is measured a second time and found to be 50L, describe

julia-pushkina [17]

By Boyle's law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

300*75 = P<span>₂*50

</span>P<span>₂*50= 300*75
</span>
P<span>₂ = 300*75/50 = 450
</span>
P<span>₂ = 450 kiloPascals.

The pressure has increased as a result of compression of gas.

Boyle's Law supports this observation.</span>

Joey is riding in an elevator which is accelerating upwards at 2.0 m/s2. The elevator weighs 300.0 kg, and Joey weighs 60.0 kg.

vodka [1.7K]

4200 N is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.
