    How do I determine which chemical is in which bottle

    In reply to my own post, I was reading over the solubility rules again and noticed that compounds containing sulfide are insoluble. I sopose I just need to put a small amount of each in water and see which one remains solid. hk

    How do I determine which chemical is in which bottle

    I have two bottles of chemicals. I know that one bottle is Copper (II) Sulfide, and the other is Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate. One bottle contains blue crystals and the other bottle contains black crystals. Problem is, the bottles aren't labeled, so the question is how do I determine...

    Calculate Speed & Time of Orbiting Satellite

    I was hoping someone could check my work for me. Question: A satellite is in circular orbit 600 km above the Earth's surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s^2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite and the time required to complete one...

    When Does the Marble Overtake the Stone in a Gravity Experiment?

    I'll take a shot at it for you. I'm just learning this stuff too so I hope I don't misguide you. Position as a function of time can be described by xf = xi + vi*t + 0.5*a*t^2 where xf is final position, xi is initial position, vi is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time. What...

    How does a computer calculate acceleration and velocity?

    I am doing another lab report on motion. For this lab we used a motion detector connected to a computer to collect and display data about an object in motion. The question that I am having trouble with is how does the computer calculate velocity and acceleration based on the position data...
