The molecular mass, in atomic mass unit, of aspartame would be 294 amu while the mass, in kg, of an aspartame molecule would be 0.294 kg

Aspartame has the chemical formula C14H18N2O5

C = 12, H = 1, N = 14, O = 16

(a) Molecular weight = (12x14) + (1x18) + (14x2) + (16x5)

= 168 + 18 + 28 + 80

= 294 amu

(b) Mass of 1 molecule of aspartame = mole x molar mass

= 1 x 294

= 294 g

Converting 294 g to kg = 294/1000

= 0.294 kg

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

A bag of sugar weighs 2 kg on earth. What should it weigh in newtons on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is 1/6 that o

Elis [28]

<span> Weight = mass x acceleration
Earths acceleration is 9.8 m/s*2
1 kg = 2.2 lbs, so 2.0 lbs x 1 kg/2.2 lbs = 0.91 kg
The bag would have a weight of 9.8 x 0.91 = 8.9 N

1. 8.9 x 1/6 = 1.5 N

2. 8.9 x 2.64 = 23.5 N

The mass of the bag at all three locations is 0.91 kg. Mass does not change, the different locations only change its weight. </span>

What best describes the dropping height of a ball that bounced back up to a height of 45 centimeters?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:C:Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy

Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy.

Although the initial energy (potential energy is preserved), the energy of deformation as the ball strikes a surface creates energy dissipation in the form of frictional heat and audible sound energy.

Every time the ball bounces, its height will be less than its previous height.
