Teh humans are more revealed to the sun and that causes cancer because of all the uv rays and the ozone is the only thing thats helping us from uv rays

The ozone layer blocks out most ultraviolet rays, which long exposure to can cause skin cancer. Pollutants deplete the ozone layer, making it weaker and putting holes in it. Ultraviolet rays can easily get through these holes at a higher concentration, therefore effecting people more.

At 900.0 K, the equilibrium constant (Kp) for the following reaction is 0.345. 2SO2(g)+O2(g)→2SO3(g) At equilibrium, the partial

elena55 [62]

Answer : The partial pressure of $SO_3$ is, 67.009 atm

Solution : Given,

Partial pressure of $SO_2$ at equilibrium = 30.6 atm

Partial pressure of $O_2$ at equilibrium = 13.9 atm

Equilibrium constant = $K_p=0.345$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ will be,

$K_p=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(p_{SO_2})^2\times (p_{O_2})}$

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

$0.345=\frac{(p_{SO_3})^2}{(30.6)^2\times (13.9)}$

$p_{SO_3}=67.009atm$

Therefore, the partial pressure of $SO_3$ is, 67.009 atm

May you help me answer this

Firdavs [7]

1) See three Kepler laws below

2a) Acceleration is $2.2 m/s^2$

2b) Tension in the string: 27.4 N

3a) Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, potential energy is the energy due to the position

3b) The kinetic energy of the object is 2.25 J

Explanation:

1)

There are three Kepler's law of planetary motion:

1st law: the planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one of the 2 focii
2nd law: a segment connecting the Sun with each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. A direct consequence of this is that, when a planet is further from the sun, it travels slower, and when it is closer to the sun, it travels faster
3rd law: the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Mathematically, $T^2 \propto r^3$ , where T is the period of revolution and r is the semi-major axis of the orbit

2a)

To solve the problem, we have to write the equation of motions for each block along the direction parallel to the incline.

For the block on the right, we have:

$M g sin \theta - T = Ma$ (1)

where

$Mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight of the block parallel to the incline, with

M = 8.0 kg (mass of the block)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

T = tension in the string

a = acceleration of the block

For the block on the left, we have similarly

$T-mg sin \theta = ma$ (2)

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of the block)

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

From (2) we get

$T=mg sin \theta + ma$

Substituting into (1),

$M g sin \theta - mg sin \theta - ma = Ma$

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{M-m}{M+m}g sin \theta=\frac{8.0-3.5}{8.0+3.5}(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ})=2.2 m/s^2$

2b)

The tension in the string can be calculated using the equation

$T=mg sin \theta + ma$

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of lighter block)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

$a=2.2 m/s^2$ (acceleration found in part 2)

Substituting,

$T=(3.5)(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ}) +(3.5)(2.2)=27.4 N$

3a)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion. It is calculated as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field. For an object near the Earth's surface, it is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

3b)

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the object in this problem,

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

v = 3 m/s

Substituting, we find its kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(0.5)(3)^2=2.25 J$
