13. If you have a 12 kg object, how do you find the weight?

1 answer:

5 0

The weight is the force of gravity acting on the object. So assuming it’s on earth, 12(9.81) also, F(weight in Newtons)=mass( in kg)acceleration (due to gravity)

A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
This work, is just 4,475 J.
So we can write the following equation:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J$

where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
So, we can find the speed v, as follows:

$v =\sqrt{\frac{2*W}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2*4,475J}{2.5e3kg} } = 1.89 m/s$

The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:

$W = F*d$

We can solve for F, as follows:

$F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{4,475 J}{26.0m} = 172.1 N$

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?

igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
