A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

looks like this group varied the amount of mass sitting on the block with each trial - this is not recommended). Nonetheless, what is their average coefficient of static friction?
Trial Mass of block (g) Hanging mass (kg)
1 105 0.053
2 165 0.081
3 220 0.118
4 280 0.149
5 315 0.180
6 385 0.198

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

                                              = 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = \frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}

                                              = \frac{0.779}{6}

                                              = 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130

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.

jesse is swinging miguel in a circle at a tangential speed of 3.50 m/s. if the radius of the circle is 0.600 m and miguel has a
Morgarella [4.7K]
Centripetal acceleration = (speed)² / (radius) .

Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

Centripetal force = (mass) · (speed)² / (radius) .

                             = (11 kg) · (3.5 m/s)² / (0.6 m)

                             = (11 kg) · (12.25 m²/s²) / (0.6 m)

                             =  (11 · 12.25) / 0.6  kg-m/s²

                             =      224.58 newtons.    (about 50.5 pounds)

That's the tension in Miguel's arm or leg or whatever part of his body
Jesse is swinging him by.  It's the centripetal force that's needed in
order to swing 11 kg in a circle with a radius of 0.6 meter, at 3.5
meters/second.  If the force is less than that, then the mass has to
either swing slower or else move out to follow a bigger circle.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

If two waves with identical crests and troughs meet, what is happening? The wave is reflecting. Constructive interference is occ
Kazeer [188]
The correct answer would be that destructive interference is happening. In this interference, the crest of a wave meets a trough of another wave resulting to an amplitude that is lower. The opposite is called the constructive interference. Hope this answers the question.
