Answer:

294J

Explanation:

The work done by gravity is independent of the horizontal distance. It is only dependent on the vertical height of 15m above its initial position.

The work done against gravity is given by

W=mgh....................(1)

Given;

m = 2.0kg

g=9.8m/s^2

Hence;

W = 2.0*9.8*15\\W=294J

A metal, M, forms an oxide having the formula M2O3 containing 52.92% metal by mass. Determine the atomic weight in g/mole of the
irina [24]

Answer:

The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.

Explanation:

To begin, it is possible to assume that, as a sample, it has 100 g of the compound. This means that:

  • 52.92% metal: 52.92 g M
  • 47.80% oxygen: 47.80 g O

 Using the molar mass of oxygen, which is 16 g / mol, it is possible to calculate the amount of moles of oxygen present in the sample using the rule of three:

moles of oxygen=\frac{47.8g*1mol}{16g}

moles of oxygen=2.9875

The chemical formula of metal oxide tells you that:

2 M⁺³ + 3 O²⁻ ⇒ M₂O₃

In the previous equation you can see that you need 3  oxygen anions to react with two metal cations. Then:

2.9875 moles of oxygen*\frac{2 moles of metal M}{1 mol of oxygen} = 5.975 moles of metal M

You have  52.92 g  of metal in the sample, then the molar mass of the metal is:

molar mass=\frac{52.92 g}{5.975 mol}

molar mass≅ 8.87 g/mol

<u><em> The atomic weight in g/mole of the metal (molar mass) is 8.87.</em></u>

The closest match to this value is Beryllium (Be), which has an atomic mass of 9.0122 g / mol.

oee [108]

Answer:

The final rotation is 2.449 times the initial rotation

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration and rotation speed of particle is related as

a=rω²    

where ω  is angular speed and r radius of circle

Rearranging equation    

ω=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }

The initial acceleration is given by

            a₁ =100g

The final acceleration of particle is

            a₂ = 6 (100g)

                  =600g

The final and initial rotation speed are related as

                  \frac{w1}{w2} =\sqrt{\frac{a2}{a1 }

                  ω2=\sqrt{\frac{600g}{100g} } *w1

                   ω2=2.449ω1

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between the initial and final point of motion.

Here, Suzie first walks 3 blocks north. From there she walks 4 blocks east. Then 2 blocks to the east then 2 blocks north and then 2 blocks east. She covered 4 blocks east toward west. This is the same distance she covered traveling east. But she is 2 blocks north. From there she traveled a block south to the pizzeria and another block to her friends house. She covered the two block she had traveled north.

Hence, Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started.

Crazy boy [7]
It would be a really bad idea to eat the snow because you obviously are trying to stay warm right? Well, the best thing to do is melt the snow. However, the process of melting the snow would have a few complications as well. But yes, the latter idea (drinking the snow) is a better idea (not the best).
