    Determining Volume of Base for ASA Experiment

    1. Homework Statement . This question is based on an experiment to determine the mass of ASA. Information from the experiment : • ASA is a weak acid with a Ka value of 3.2 x 10^-4. • An ASA tablet has an approximate mass of 500 g. • The experiment used a titration with a standardized 0.100...

    Gravitation and Gravitational Fields

    Would a formula for planet/celestial orbit work for part c? Such as K=G(m1+m2) / (4π^2)

    Gravitation and Gravitational Fields

    I can't find any other formulas related to acceleration to solve this type of problem. Would it work if I solve for velocity and then divide velocity by time? Although, with this question I don't know if that would work either. Was part a) correct?

    Kepler's third law constant

    Thanks, and yes the Kepler constants for the other four moons were very close to the result I have for the first moon. Question b) In this problem asked me to find the average K value for all four moons. I then added all four together and then divided by four to have 1.47 x 10^14 m3/s2. In...

    Solving Polynomials: Factoring

    Okay so there are 3 roots and they are x=2, x=1, and x=-3/2. I see where I had made errors before in my calculations. The only part I still don't quite understand is how found x=-3/2 without factoring? Did you just use the value of (c) in x=-b±√b^2-4(a)(c) / 2(a) ??

    Change in Momentum and Impulse

    Thank you! Could you just let me know if this is correct? b) J=Δp Δp=mΔv 4.0 x 10^3 N•s=70kgΔv Δv=(4.0 x 10^3 N•s)/(70kg) Δv=57m/s Ek=½mvf^2-½mvi^2 =½(70kg)(57m/s)^2-½(70kg)(0m/s)^2 =113715-0 =1.14 x 10^5 J F•d=ΔEk d=(ΔEk)/(F) =(1.14 x 10^5)/(1.14 x 10^4) =10m Therefore the barrel of the...

    Change in Momentum and Impulse

    Human cannonballs have been a part of circuses for years. A human cannonball with a mass of 70kg experiences an impulse of 4.0 x 10^3 N•s for 0.35 s. a) Calculate the force acting on the human cannonball. F=(J)/(Δt) =(4000 N•s)/(0.35s) =11428.5 N =1.14 x 10^4 N b)How long was the barrel of...
