Why is common salt called compound?

1 answer:

5 0

I think this answer Yes, salt is the crystal we use to season our food. But in chemistry, salt is a term used to describe a compound made by joining a positively charged acid with a negatively charged base. Table salt is the compound sodium chloride. It's composed of a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chloride atom.

Answer:

The total work done by Brad each day is 176400 J

Explanation:

Hi there! The work done by a force (F) pointed in the same direction as the displacement (d) is calculated as follows:

W = F · d

The force applied is equal to the weight of Brad, that is calculated as follows:

Weight = m · g

Where:

m = mass of Brad

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

Then:

Weight = 60 kg · 9.8 m/s² = 588 N

Let´s find the vertical distance traveled by Brad each day:

He exercises 20 min per day. Each minute Brad does 60 steps. In total, Brad steps up (20 min · 60 steps/min) 1200 steps. If each step has a height of 0.25 m, the total distance traveled by Brad will be

(1200 steps · 0.25 m/step) 300 m.

Then, the total work done by Brad is

W = F · d

W = 588 N · 300 m

W = 176400 J

The total work done by Brad each day is 176400 J

Three persons wants to push a wheel cart in the direction marked x in Fig. The two person push with horizontal forces F1 and F2

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

I had to search the Figure on Google to solve this question.

a) The magnitude of the force F₃ is:

$F_{3} = 87.47 N$

And the direction of F₃:

$\alpha = 79.04 ^{\circ}$ (with respect to the y-direction, in the third quadrant)

b) P = 4.22 N

Explanation:

I had to search the Figure on Google to solve this question.

a) We can find the force of the third person as follows:

$\Sigma F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x} = 0$

$\Sigma F_{y} = F_{1y} - F_{2y} + F_{3y} = 0$

So, in x-direction we have:

$\Sigma F_{x} = 45 N*cos(70) + 75 N*cos(20) + F_{3x} = 0$

$F_{3x} = -85.87 N$

In y-direction we have:

$\Sigma F_{y} = 45 N*sin(70) - 75 N*sin(20) + F_{3y} = 0$

$F_{3y} = -16.63 N$

The magnitude of the force F₃ is:

$F_{3} = \sqrt{F_{3x}^{2} + F_{3y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(-85.87 N)^{2} + (-16.63 N)^{2}} = 87.47 N$

To find the direction of F₃ we need to calculate its angle with respect to the y-direction (in the third quadrant):

$tan(\alpha) = \frac{|F_{3x}|}{|F_{3y}|} = \frac{85.87 N}{16.63 N}$

$\alpha = 79.04 ^{\circ}$

b) If the third person exerts the force found in part (a) the car will stop, so the only way for the cart to accelerate at 200 m/s² is that the third person does not exert the force found in a.

To find the weight of the cart when it accelerates at 200 m/s², we need to consider: F₃ = 0.

First, we need to find the cart's mass. Since the car is moving in the x-direction we have:

$\Sigma F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} = ma$
