During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapu

lts that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law with a spring constant of 88.0 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 4.20 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length

Answer:

The work done on the hose by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length is 776.16 Joules

Explanation:

The given spring constant of the of the spring, k = 88.0 N/m

The length by which the hose is stretched, x = 4.20 m

For the hose that obeys Hooke's law, and the principle of conservation of energy, the work done by the force from the hose is equal to the potential energy given to the hose

The elastic potential energy, P.E., of a compressed spring is given as follows;

P.E. = 1/2·k·x²

∴ The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)²

1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)² = 776.16 J

The work done on the hose = The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 776.16 J

Would water molecules in Venus’ atmosphere, whose temperature is 740 K, escape into outer space? A water molecule has a mass tha
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus.

Explanation:

The average speed of gas molecules is given by:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and M the molar mass of the gas.

We know that a water molecule has a mass that is 18 times that of a hydrogen atom:

M_H=1.01*10^{-3}\frac{kg}{mol}\\M_{H2O}=18M_H=0.02\frac{kg}{mol}

So, we have:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3(8.314\frac{J}{mol \cdot K})740K}{0.02\frac{kg}{mol}}}\\v_{rms}=960.65\frac{m}{s}*\frac{1km}{1000m}=0.96\frac{km}{s}

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus:

10\frac{km}{s}*\frac{1}{6}=1.6\frac{km}{s}\\0.96\frac{km}{s}

An object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing which type of particles?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

negative particles

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Hence, an object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing negative particles.

Starting from your campsite you walk 3.0 km east, 6.0 km north, 1.0 km east, and then 4.0 km west. How far are you from your cam
Hatshy [7]
Think of it like a graph. You start at the origin which is (0,0).  go three to the east which now you are (3,0). Then, six to the north. Now, you are at (3,6).  1 to the east, ((4,6).  Then you go 4 to the west which is back tracking. So, you end at (0,6) which is saying you are now 6 km north from your campsite. 

Hope this helps!

Explain how atoms of elements form molecules, compounds and mixtures.
katrin2010 [14]

An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.

For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.

Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.
