    Fluoride Ions needed to treat water

    Homework Statement Fluoride ion is poisonous in relatively low amounts: 0.2 g of F - per 70 kg body weight can cause death. Nevertheless, in order to prevent tooth decay, F - ions are added to drinking water at a concentration of 1 mg of F - ion per L of water. How many kilograms of sodium...

    When Does the Car Come to Rest Again?

    Ok, I got it...I just took the derivative of the distance formula which would make it into the velocity formula. Then I set the velocity equal to 0 and used the quadratic equation to find t.

    When Does the Car Come to Rest Again?

    Homework Statement A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by x(t) = bt^2 - ct^3, where b = 2.30 m/s^2 and c = 0.120 m/s^3. How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest? Homework Equations...

    Filling in the blank to a statement

    Sorry, maybe I should have put the function that I was given. I'm not sure what F! means, but here's the function I'm given. F(x) = (x^3 - 7x^2 + 17x - 15)/( x - 3) It is a continuous graph, but at x = 3 there's a point of discontinuity which is (3,2).

    Chemistry problem involving gas laws

    A 2.80g sample of an unknown chlorofluorocarbon is decomposed and produces 552mL of chlorine gas at a pressure of 756 mmHg and a temperature of 298K. What is the percent chlorine (by mass) in the unknown chlorofluorocarbon? PV= nRT D= m/vOk, so for this problem I tried using the PV=nRT...

    What is the Work Done in Solving a Force and Energy Problem?

    I actually figured out the question already. Thanks for the help though. Looking at what you did before I got through most of it. The only part that still puzzles me is why the distance you use to get the correct answer is 4m when in reality the answer should be found using 5.65m which is from...

    What is the Work Done in Solving a Force and Energy Problem?

    Well I tried using 0 as an answer but it wasn't right. Here's my new thought process. What if we found the distance it traveled using what we know? It traveled 4 m to the right and 4 m up. So using a^+b^2 =c^2 we can find the distance which was 5.65685m. Now this is the part I'm stuck. Since W =...

    What is the Work Done in Solving a Force and Energy Problem?

    KEf = KEi It wouldn't be 0 would it? Edit: Cause work HAD to be done to move the body.
