    Hi there, My question is relating to an advanced level text book question. 'Stars a and b have the same density, and star a is 27 times more massive than star b. Calculate the ratio of the gravitational field strenght on star a to that on star b' I hope you would be able to explain how you came to the answer, please.

  8. I'm new here and I need some help with the stats/graphing aspect of my college level-environmental science homework, and since I've browsed this forum more then a few times I thought that some of the good folks here could help me! As the homework which deals with graphing ocean currents, first begins with a series of buoy coordinates in which there are 8 box sets of that contain anywhere from 5 at the least to over 20 at the most. The graphing map it's self which is of the Northern Pacific Ocean, has a longitude range running vertically in the middle of the map running from 20 to 60, and a latitude range at the very bottom running from 140 to -120. In addition the…

    So here's a grade 11 physics question my teacher showed to the class with us. John is studying on a cliff 250m high. He throws a rock HORIZONTALLY with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s (from his height). a) How long did it take the rock to hit the ground below? My teacher showed us on the board: D = V + 1/2 a (t)(squared) then he went on to plugging the numbers into the equation: 250 = 0 + 1/2 (9.8) (t)2 then he got: 7.1s = t I'm confused on how he got 7.1s? Anyone know what he did? I'm worried because there is a homework question similar to what he did. But it has a horizontal component to it, and not a vertical. A bullet is shot h…

  10. ;)Hi there! I am doing a coursework on the practical 'kinetics of the reaction between iodine and propanone in acid solution' however I cannot find anything on the internet stating the litrature value for the order of reaction for Iodine, please would you advise me what to type to get this value.Could you leave the address of where you found it. Also, the graph obtained by plotting the 'titres of E' against time is looks a like it could be a curve or a straight line. How do I decide which one is correct? Thirdly, does this graph I have plotted represent the order of reaction for Iodine, OR must I change the graph in order to find the order out. Thankyou

    The problem with online learning is they give you nothing to work with except questions. I did absolutely nothing on this topic so some help would be nice. Design a laboratory set-up that would enable you to separate a mixture of three hydrocarbons with different boiling points. Explain the reasons for the apparatus you would need in your set-up, and develop the procedure you will use to separate the hydrocarbons. You should also include a blank data table for recording results. (Note: You are not going to perform the actual experiment, so do no report any results)

    I don't know if my answers are correct or not; are they detail enough? Can anyone take a look at them and give me some feedback? Especially questions 7 and 8. Thanks! 1) Is the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate a redox reaction? Ans: No, because there is no transfer of electrons. 2) Explain how fructose catabolism may lead to an overproduction of pyruvate relative to glucose metabolism in the liver. Ans: PFK-1 is the major control step in glycolysis where many factors in glucose metabolism would regulate this step, but fructose could bypass PFK-1 to produce pyruvate. 3) Illustrate how increased intracellular [cAMP] affects the activity …

    "John is 1.5m tall and throws an orange at a velocity of 15m/s. It just barely clears a 5m tall wall at the peak of its trajectory. At what angle did he throw the ball? How far away is John from the wall?" So pretty much, the only thing I can't remember is how to find Vx and Vy. (To get the angle.) I know I have to break V down into components to find the angle, and I know V will be the hypotenuse of the triangle used to find the angle. Would I just use formulas to find Vf to find Vy (If I remember correctly, V is also Vx to begin with)? All I need is to know whether you find Vf to get Vy, I have the formulas for that. Thank you for your help.

    Hello everyone, I've got some homework which is about random and systematic errors. My classes job is to recognise the difference. The example we have been given, relates to our experiment we did involving rainfall, and rain gauges. I've got my answers, but not being overly confident, I'd like someone to go through them with me before I submit them. 1) The site where the gauge was placed was partly sheltered. - Systematic 2)The experimenter often miscounted the divisions on their ruler; sometimes recording a value higher than the correct value, and sometimes recording a value lower than the correct value. - Random 3)The experimenter used a home-made dip …

    Question #1 The concentration of Mn^2+(aq) can be determined by titration with MnO_4^-(aq) in basic solution. A 22.50 mL sample of Mn^2+(aq) requires 38.28 mL of 4.026×10−2 M KMnO_4(aq) for its titration. Mn^2+ + MnO_4^- > MnO_2(s) (not balanced)...I think the balanced eqn simply needs "2MnO_2" on the product side...My set up is this...38.28mL KMnO_4(1L/1000mL)(4.026*10^-2/1L)(1molMn^2+/1mol KMnO_4)(1/22.50mL)(1000mL)=0.0698495868 M Mn^2+...I've also tried a 1/2 mole ratio didn't work either... Question #2 The titration of 4.90 mL of a saturated solution of sodium oxalate, Na_2C_2O_4, at 25 deg C requires 28.0 mL of 2.100×10−2 M KMnO_4 in acidic solution. What…

    If the parents (of the F1 gen) of a dihybrid cross are not true-breeding, will you still see a 9:3:3:1 ratio in the F2 generation? I did a bunch of dihybrid crosses on Kansas State Uni's website (found it on google), and literally all of the F2 generation punnet squares were not in 9:3:3:1. For example, one had 10 of a certain phenotype, another problem had 8 for a given phenotype. I started to scratch my head, because all of the questions that I answered were correct (like when it asked for a given genotype number, it'd be correct, etc). Something about genetics really crushes my brain. Sorry if I sound stupid. See? http://www.ksu.edu/biology/pob/genetics/… Not …
