Summarize at least three steps needed to carry out Galileo's famous experiment to determine whether heavier objects

Chemistry

LenaWriter [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration. In recent years, researchers have taken to replicating this test in a way that the Italian scientist probably never envisioned — by dropping atoms. One of Galileo's contributions to the founding of modern science was his study of falling objects.  He turned, then, to measuring the acceleration of objects rolling down smooth ramps. The ramp "diluted" the acceleration to a value small enough to allow accurate measurements of the longer time intervals.

Refer to the illustration of the periodic table to determine which formula is correct.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

D. MgO

Explanation:

We need to look at the charge of element. (Look at a periodic table for this)

Mg, which is Magnesium, has a charge of 2+ because it's in the second column, or group, from the left.

O, which is Oxygen, has a charge of 2- because it's in the second column, or group, from the right.

Since Mg is 2+, it's the cation and since O is 2-, it's the anion. We can put these two elements together into an ionic compound.

Mg^(2+) and O^(2-) becomes Mg2O2, where we can cancel the 2s: MgO.

Thus, the answer is D.

Hope this helps!

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.030 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. calculate the mass of
zzz [600]
Remember that: 
number of moles = mass/molar mass

First, we get the molar mass of the nitrogen gas molecule:
It is known the the nitrogen gas is composed of two nitrogen atoms, each with molar mass 14 gm (from the periodic table)
Therefore, molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 x 2 = 28 gm

Second we calculate the mass of the precipitate:
we have number of moles = 0.03 moles (given)
and molar mass = 28 gm (calculated)
Using the equation mentioned before,
mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.03 x 28 = 0.84 gm

Work is being done in which of these situations? All motions are at a constant velocity (including velocity = zero).
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force that moves an object through a particular distance:

    Workdone = force x displacement

At constant velocity, the force on a body is zero because such a body is not accelerating.  

    Force is a product of mass and acceleration. Acceleration occurs only when velocity changes with time. If no change in velocity, acceleration does not occur. Therefore, no force is being applied.

 From all the situations given, the condition is set at constant velocity. At constant velocity, there is no acceleration. This implies that no work is done.
