Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w

3 0
The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

For alpha decay to cause a loss in mass, such as that in the uranium 238 conversion to thorium 234, what must the atomic weight
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation showing alpha decay in Uranium-238 is as follows.

    ^{238}_{92}U \rightarrow ^{234}_{90}Th + ^{4}_{2}He

It is known that an alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is ^{4}_{2}\alpha.

As atomic mass or weight is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Hence, the atomic weight of the alpha particle is (2 + 2) = 4.

When discussing acids and bases, any substance that accepts a proton, by definition, is considered
enot [183]
Any substance that accept a proton by definition is considered to be BRONSTED LOWRY BASE.
Bronsted Lowry defined acid and base on the basis of donating or accepting protons. In the Bronsted Lowry classification of acid and base, an acid is defined as a substance which donate proton while a base is defined as a substance which accept proton.

Marshall determines that a gas has a gauge pressure of 276 kpa what's the absolute pressure of the gas
omeli [17]
A gauge records the pressure over atmospheric pressure (0kpa on the gauge is actually the atmospheric pressure and a reading of 276kpa is 276kpa over atmospheric pressure). That means that means that to find absolute pressure you just add atmospheric pressure (around 1atm (101kpa)) to 286kpa to get 387kpa. I hope this helps.

The following is an example of which type of chemical reaction?Na (s) + H2O (l) Imported Asset NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Single replacement

Explanation:

Data

Chemical reaction

                 Na  +  H₂O  ⇒   NaOH  +  H₂

Single replacement  is a chemical reaction in which a metal replaces the cation of a compound.

Decomposition  is a chemical reaction in which a compound forms 2 or more products.

Double replacement  in this chemical reaction two compounds react interchanging their cations and anions.

Combustion in this chemical reaction the reactants must be a compound with carbon and the other oxygen and the products must be carbon dioxide and water.
