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

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Please answer this question for me and explain why.
horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 50 POINTS!
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1) Current decreases; 2) Inverse proportionally; 3) 1[A]

Explanation:

1)

As we can see as the resistance increases the current decreases, if we take two points as an example, when the resistance is equal to 50 [ohms] the current is equal to 1[amp] and when the resistance is equal to 200 [ohms] the current tends to have a value below 0.5 [amp]. Thus demonstrating the decrease in current.

2)

Inverse proportionally, by definition we know that the law of ohm determines the voltage according to resistance and amperage. This is the voltage will be equal to the product of the voltage by the resistance.

V=I*R\\V = voltage [volts]\\I = current[amp]\\R = resistance [ohms]

where:

R =\frac{V}{I} \\or\\I=\frac{V}{R}

And whenever we have in a fractional number the denominator the variable we are interested in, we can say that this is inversely proportional to the value we are interested in determining. In this case, we can see from the two previous expressions that both the current and the resistance appear in the denominator, therefore they are inversely proportional to each other.

3)

If we place ourselves on the graph on the resistance axis, we see that at 50 [ohm] will correspond a current value equal to 1 [A].
