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%

What mass of oxygen is needed to burn 4g of hydrogen, given the equation below
aleksandrvk [35]

32g of oxygen is required to burn 4g of hydrogen.

Define molecular mass.

A specific molecule's mass is expressed in daltons and is known as the molecular mass (m) (Da or u). Due to the varying isotopes of an element that they contain, multiple molecules of the same substance can have distinct molecular weights.

The total atomic mass of every atom in a molecule, calculated using a scale with hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen having atomic masses of 1, 12, 14, and 16, respectively. For instance, water has a molecular mass of 18 (2 + 16), which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. known also as molecular weight.

In ,2H2+O2-----> 2H2O

H 2 molecules have a mass of 2 g/mol.

The molecular weight of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

When the chemical equation is balanced,

To totally react, 32 g of oxygen are needed for every 22=4 g of hydrogen.

How many atoms of potassium are in 0.250 mol of potassium carbonate, k2co3?
Verizon [17]
The  number  of  potassium  atom  that  are  in  0.25  moles   potassium  carbonate  is  calculated  as  follows

by  use  of Avogadro  contant

1  mole=  6.02  x10^23   atoms

what  about  0.25 moles,   
by  close  multiplication

{0.250 moles  x 6.02  x10^23}  /  1 mole  =  1.505  x10^23  atoms

What steps should you take to respond to an accident?
Marina86 [1]
If it’s multiple answers then it’s A,C,D. If it’s only one answer then your best answer is A. Because you always report accidents to an authority so that they can figure out how to solve the problem.
