4. A 1,750 kg weather satellite moves in a circular orbit with a gravitational potential energy of 1.69 x 100 J. At its location, free-fall acceleration is only 6.44 m/s?. How high above Earth's surface is the satellite?

Explanation:

It is known that the value of free fall acceleration is g = 6.44 m/s^{2}. And, the value of radius of Earth is 6.4 \times 10^{6} m.

Let us assume that height of the satellite is h.

It is known that,

             g = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}        

where,   r = (R + h)

Hence,  

              r = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{g}}

              r = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 5.98 \times 10^{24}}{6.44 m/s}}

                = 7.9 \times 10^{6} m

Now, formula for height of satellite above the Earth's surface is as follows.

            h = r - R

               = 7.9 \times 10^{6} - 6.4 \times 10^{6}

               = 1.5 \times 10^{6} m

Thus, we can conclude that the satellite is 1.5 \times 10^{6} m high above Earth's surface.

The height of the satellite moving in a circular orbit above the Earth's surface is the satellite is; 1.5 × 10⁶ m

What is the height of gravitational fall?

The formula to find the height of the satellite above the earth's surface is; h = [√(GM/g)] - R

where;

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M is mass of earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

g is free fall acceleration = 6.44 m/s²

R is radius of earth  6400000 m

Thus;

h = [√(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.98 × 10²⁴/6.44)] - 6400000

h = 1.5 × 10⁶ m

Question
A 0.15 mol sample of H2S is placed in a 10 L reaction vessel and heated to 1132◦C. At equilibrium, 0.03 mol H2is present. Calculate the value of Kc for the reaction2 H2S(g)⇀↽2 H2(g) + S2(g)at 1132◦C
Solution 1

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant is 0.00009.

Explanation:

Initial moles of  H_2S = 0.15 mole

Volume of container = 10 L

Initial concentration of H_2S=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.15moles}{10L}=0.015M  

Moles of H_2 at equilibrium= 0.03 mole

equilibrium concentration of H_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.03moles}{10L}=0.003M [/tex]

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            2H_2S(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+S_2(g)

Initial conc.           0.015 M                     0     0

 At eqm. conc.    (0.015-2x) M           (2x) M   (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[H_2]^2\times [S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}

K_c=\frac{(2x)^2\times x}{(0.015-2x)^2}

we are given : 2x= 0.003 M

x= 0.0015 M

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{(0.003)^2\times 0.0015}{(0.015-0.003)^2}

K_c=0.00009

Thus the value of the equilibrium constant is 0.00009.

Question
How many nitrogen atoms are in 4.24 x 1022 molecules of Ca (NO3)2 ?
Solution 1

Answer:

                       8.48 × 10²² atoms of Nitrogen

Explanation:

                   Calcium Carbonate is an ionic compound made up to Calcium (Ca²⁺) and Nitrate (NO₃⁻) ions. Also, the subscript 2 after the closed bracket after NO₃ specifies that there are two moles of NO₃⁻ in calcium nitrate compound. Hence, in total we can say that this compound contain,

                                    1 atom of Calcium

                                    2 atoms of Nitrogen

                                    6 atoms of Oxygen

Therefore,

When,

              1 molecule of Ca(NO₃)₂ contains  =  2 atoms of Nitrogen

Then,

   4.24 × 10²² molecules of Ca(NO₃)₂ will contain  = X atoms of Nitrogen

Solving for X,

                      X  =  2 atoms × 4.24 × 10²² molecule / 1 molecule

                      X =  8.48 × 10²² atoms of Nitrogen

Question
Statistical power is influenced by all of the following except A significance error B. critical value level C. observed test value D. sample size Please select the best answer from the choices provided ОА
Solution 1

The statistical power is influenced by the factors such as sample size, significance error, observed test value etc.  Hence, the critical value level is the one not influencing the statistical power.

What is statiscal power ?

Statiscal power is an important factor necessary to draw out the conclusion about a data. There will be always risk of making errors. Statistical power is the probability of avoiding these kind of errors from the various stages of data collection and interpretation.

If there is no enough power for a statiscal data, there will be lee worth for time and money expenditure on  the resources. The sample size is the minimum number of observations that are required to study the effect of a certain size with the given power level.

The significant error level and observed test value are all affecting the statiscal power in an experiment. However, critical value level is having no significant role on it. Hence option B is correct here.
