    Calculating Number of Oxygen Atoms in CaSO4: A Pop Quiz Challenge

    I think the slightly different molar mass is due to differences between periodic tables. The answer choices were 2, 6, 5.41 x 10^22, 5.81 x10^22, 1.11 x 10^21. Since your answer was very close to mine, I'm thinking that there was a typo on the quiz. If I saw your answer among the ones above...

    Calculating Number of Oxygen Atoms in CaSO4: A Pop Quiz Challenge

    I had a multiple choice problem on my pop quiz. How many oxygen atoms are there in .00334 grams of CaS04 X 2H2O. The molar mass is 172 g/mol. So .00334/172 = 1.9 x 10-5 moles x 6 since there are 6 oxygen x 6.022 x 1023 = 7.016 x 1019. None of the answer choices had that. Did I do it wrong...

    How do you express a vector in terms of I,J,&K?

    The I,J,&K were vectors from a previous page that were supposed to be added together to result in <0,0,1>. I got the answer correct. Sorry for the confusion. This textbook is very unclear.

    How do you express a vector in terms of I,J,&K?

    Its part part of my homework for calc 3. I already tried 1,0,0 and it was wrong. The problem gave a hint to do the dot product of the given vector with all the unit vectors. The previous problem was to express the vector <0,0,1> in terms of I,J&,K. The answer to that one was -sqrt(3)/2, 0,1/2...

    How do you express a vector in terms of I,J,&K?

    Express the vector <1,0,0> in terms of I,J,&k. (a)*I + (b)*J + (c)*K You have to find a,b, and c. I know that I,J,&K are unit vectors and so I thought that a = 1, b = 0, c = 0. But the answer has radicals and fractions in it. I don't understand how to arrive at the solution.

    How Do You Calculate Average Velocity and Relative Air Velocity?

    1. A car with an initial direction of north moves clockwise one quarter a circle of radius 30 m in 15 s at a constant speed. What is the average velocity? a) 1 m/s north b) 1.41 m/s northeast c) 1.57 m/s southwest d) 2.83 m/s northeast displacement/total time = avg velocity 15pi/15s...

    Object Launched from Origin: Time to Reach the Roof

    An object is launched from the origin with a velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the x axis. The object lands on a roof that is 4 meters high. What is the time when the object hits the roof? a) 1.11 s b) 1.27 s c) 1.33 s d) 1.49 s e) 1.67 s I did 20 (sin(30)) = 10 m/s...

    Projectile Motion Homework Help: Solving Launch and Landing Problems

    Stuck on these homework problems. 1. A ball is launched 60 degrees above the x-axis to a helicopter that is 110 feet away and 90 feet high. What is the initial velocity required to reach it? I know the equation we have to use is 90 = viT + .5aT^2 and that 90 = vi(cos60)T 2...

    Projectile Motion Help: Solving Cannon Ball Problems

    I am really stuck on these two homework problems. 1. Basically, there is a cannon which will launch a ball at 60 degrees respect to the x axis. There is also a helicopter 90 feet away from the cannon and 70 feet up. What intial velocity will the cannon ball need to be launched with in order...

    Help with Metal reactions in solutions.

    my class did a metal activity series lab where we added calcium to 8 different solutions. We have to write the net ionic equations for each reaction but I am stuck getting started on them. Ca(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq) = ? my guess Ca(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2 + H2(g) + Ca(NO3)(aq) This...

    Trig Help: Solve Y=2sec(3x-pi)

    Thanks SammyS. I orginally planned to graph 1/cos which was the secant but it made it more confusing lol. Now I see what you mean by graph cos first. My question is that can I also apply to secant and graph sine first or cotangent and graph tangent first? I am going to have all three of...

    Trig Help: Solve Y=2sec(3x-pi)

    I have these practice trig problems for a test. I understand the simple graphs but its these more complicated ones. y=2sec(3x-pi) my approach: I first find the period and phase shift. Since the period of a normal secant function which is 2pi. Then the period of this one is 2pi/3. The...

    Proof the trig sum and difference identities

    Thanks. I will check it out and see if it answers my question. I would rather take the hard road and understand what I am doing so that I can apply it better. Also are these identities used a lot in calc? I am going to take it next year.
