Answer:

$ 57,272.73

Explanation:

Create a lengthy equation to convert the units you are given to the units you need to answer the question.

Your starting with gallons and pounds and you need your answer to be in Dollars.

$ 12.00         1 kg          7.0 lb       1500 gal

------------ X ----------- X ------------ X -------------- =  $ 57,272.73

   1 kg           2.2 lb        1 gal              1

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance b
yuradex [85]

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>Newton's law of universal gravitation</h3>

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two masses in the universe is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the the square of the distance between them.

The mathematical interpretation of the above law is

  • F ∝Mm/r²

Removing the proportionality sign,

  • F = GMm/r².

Where:

  • F = Force of attraction
  • G = Gravitational constant
  • M = Bigger mass
  • m = Smaller mass
  • r = Distance between the masses.

From the above, When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12
