One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t

extbook. The density of magnesium is 1.7 grams/cm3. What is the approximate diameter of a magnesium atom (length of a bond) in a solid block of the material? Make the simplifying assumption that the atoms are arranged in a "cubic" array, as shown in the figure. Remember to convert to SI units.

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = $\frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms}$ = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

$V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}$

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

$V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}$

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

A car initially at rest accelerates at 10m/s^2. The car’s speed after it has traveled 25 meters is most nearly... A.) 0.0m/s B.)

STALIN [3.7K]

The car traverses a distance $x$ after time $t$ according to

$x=\dfrac12at^2$

where $a$ is its acceleration, 10 m/s^2. The time it takes for the car to travel 25 m is

$25\,\mathrm m=\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt 5\,\mathrm s$

5 is pretty close to 4, so we can approximate the square root of 5 by 2. Then the car's velocity $v$ after 2 s of travel is given by

$v=\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2\,\mathrm s)\approx20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

which makes C the most likely answer.

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22

alexgriva [62]

1) The law of motion of the projectile is
$h(t) = 2+22.5 t-4.9 t^2$
To find the velocity, we should compute the derivative of h(t):
$v(t)=h'(t)=22.5-2\cdot 4.9t=22.5-9.8t$
So now we can calculate the speed at t=2 s and t=4 s:
$v(2.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot2.0 =2.9 m/s$
$v(4.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.0s=-16.7 m/s$
The negative sign in the second speed means the projectile has already reached its maximum height and it is now going downward.

2) The projectile reaches its maximum height when the speed is equal to zero:
$v(t)=0$
So we have
$22.5-9.8 t=0$
And solving this we find
$t=2.30 s$

3) To find the maximum height, we take h(t) and we just replace t with the time at which the projectile reaches the maximum height, i.e. t=2.30 s:
$h(2.30 s)=2+22.5\cdot 2.30 -4.9 \cdot (2.30s)^2 = 27.83 m$

4) The time at which the projectile hits the ground is the time at which the height is zero: h(t)=0. So, this translates into
$2+22.5t -4.9 t^2 = 0$
This is a second-order equation, and if we solve it we get two solutions: the first solution is negative, so we can ignore it since it's physically meaningless; the second solution is
$t=4.68 s$
And this is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

5) The velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground is the velocity at time t=4.68 s:
$v(4.68 s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.68 =-23.36 m/s$
with negative sign, because it is directed downward.

Two gliders on an air track collide in a perfectly elastic collision. Glider A has a mass of 1.1 kg and is initially travelling

Eva8 [605]

m1= mass 1 = 1.1 kg

Vi1 = initial velocity 1 = 2.7 m/s

m2= 2.4 kg

V2i = -1.9 m/s

We assume east as positive and west as negative.

Apply the formulas:

Vf1 = ?

$vf1=(\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})Vi1+(\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})Vi2$

Replacing:

$Vf1=\frac{(1.1-2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}2.7+\frac{(2\times2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}-1.9$ $Vf1=(\frac{-1.3}{3.5})2.7+(\frac{4.8}{3.5})-1.9$ $Vf1=-1-2.6=-3.6\text{ m/s}$

Answer: 3.6 m/s west

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use

polet [3.4K]

The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction.
Fnet = ma = F - Ff
12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

how many kilograms off mercury would fill a 5litre container if the density of mercury is 13.6grams per cm3

Sidana [21]

Answer:

68kg

Explanation:

1 cm^3 is the same as 1 mL and there are 5000mL in 5L

Therefore if the density is 13.6g/mL we multiply 13.6 by 5000 to get the amount of grams required = 68000g which is 68kg
