A trained sea lion slides from rest down a long

Physics

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Begin by sketching a free body diagram.  Three forces are at play on the sea lion: the force of gravity acting downwards, the normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp, and the frictional force parallel to the ramp.

Considering the forces perpendicular to the incline:

∑F = ma

N − mg cos θ = 0

This gives us N = mg cos θ

Next, examining the forces parallel to the incline:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − Nμ = ma

Substituting for N yields:

mg sin θ − (mg cos θ) μ = ma

g sin θ − g cos θ μ = a

hence a = g (sin θ − μ cos θ)

If we set θ = 23° and μ = 0.26:

a = 9.8 (sin 23 − 0.26 cos 23)

this results in a = 1.48

When rounded to two significant figures, the acceleration of the sea lion is 1.5 m/s².

Use this free body diagram to help you find the magnitude of the force F2 needed to keep this block in static equilibrium. WILL
Yuliya22 [3333]
In static equilibrium, all forces balance out. Therefore, to simplify, start by breaking down F1 into its horizontal and vertical components. Since no other forces act horizontally, F1's horizontal component is known to be 40N. This information can be used to determine the vertical component using the Pythagorean theorem. Once the components are established, simply add the vertical components to calculate the difference between the upward and downward forces.

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
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

The molar mass of the metal in grams per mole is calculated to be 8.87.

Explanation:

Initially, we can consider a sample of the compound weighing 100 g. This results in:

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

 By utilizing the molar mass of oxygen, which is 16 g / mol, we can determine the quantity of moles of oxygen in the sample via the rule of three:

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

moles of oxygen=2.9875

The formula for the metal oxide indicates that:

2 M⁺³ + 3 O²⁻ ⇒ M₂O₃

From the previous equation, it is evident that 3 oxygen ions are necessary to react with 2 metal ions. Hence:

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

Given 52.92 g of metal in the sample, the molar mass of the metal is:

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

molar mass≅ 8.87 g/mol

The molar mass of the metal in grams per mole is 8.87.

The value that most closely corresponds to this is Beryllium (Be), which has an atomic mass of 9.0122 g / mol.

a force of 6lbs acts on an object with a weight of 35 lbs on earth. determine the objects acceleration. final answer must be 5.5
kicyunya [3294]
Weight of the object = 35 lbs
F = ma
m = F/a = 35/32 (with acceleration of 32 ft/s²)
m= 1.09

Again applying the same formula,
a = F/m
a= 6/1.09
a= 5.489

Thus, the acceleration is approximately 5.5 ft/s²!!

Approximately 1.000 g each of four gasses H2, Ne, Ar, and Kr are placed in a sealed container all under1.5 atm of pressure. Assu
serg [3582]

Answer:

The partial pressure of H2 is 0.375 atm.

The partial pressure of Ne also stands at 0.375 atm.

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 1 g

Mass of Ne = 1 g

Mass of Ar = 1 g

Mass of Kr = 1 g

Overall mass of the gas mixture totals 4 g.

Pressure in the sealed container is 1.5 atm.

Calculating the partial pressure for H2 yields: (mass of H2/total mass of gas mixture) × pressure of sealed container = 1/4 × 1.5 = 0.375 atm.

Calculating the partial pressure for Ne similarly gives: (mass of Ne/total mass of gas mixture) × pressure of sealed container = 1/4 × 1.5 = 0.375 atm.
