Homework Help

My teacher gave us a few homework questions regarding on arranging oxidizing agents on their strengths. I can tell if it's strong or weak if it's on a table... However, there's a question where we have to arrange it based on the voltage it produced?? For example: Reduction reaction Oxidation reaction Resulting voltage Cu+2 + e- --> Cu+ Pb ---> Pb+2 + 2e- 0.11V Cu+2 + e- --> Cu+ Ni ---> Ni+2 + 2e- 0.05V Cu+2 + e- --> Cu+ Fe ---> Fe+2 + 2e- 0.09V Can someone explain to me how to do it?? Thank you!

I was looking at some of the Chapter questions in my Evolution textbook (Evolution: Making Sense of Life by Zimmer and Elmen), and I came across this question that is just stumping me in Chapter 4. The question states: 5) In the past, morphological evidence alone was used to examine the relationships of the cetaceans to other groups. According to this phylogency (which I had attached): a) The extinct genus Ambulocetus is more distantantly related to the genus Balaenoptera than to the extinct genus Protocetus. b) The genus Equus (horses) is more closely related to the genus Hippopotamus (hippos) than to the extinct genus Pakicetus. c) More changes have occured in the wh…

For my science fair project this year I'm measuring the effect of temperature of a wire on resistance. The circuit I made is working, but when I try to use the ohm meter it doesn't display the resistance. Does anyone know what I could do? Images: http://imgur.com/a/nV7hM

I got a work and some parts confused me. Here's the assignment: You have about 100,000 Chinese news, with their news date and news sources (three kinds: 0 1 2). Now, you got 20 query results (20 different key words). Each results shows about 100 articles without their news date and sources. (They were sorted by the relevance with keywords) Please use the 100,000 news to train a model, recognize these results' sources, and sort them by published date. -- My question is I know some training models could be used, but I don't know how to transfer those Chinese terms into a number, coordinate or matrix. I also want to know what kind of information is the …

As shown in the figure, a 2kg mass and a 3kg mass hanging from the massless pulley are released from rest. After the 3 kg mass has fallen 1.5 m, it is moving with a speed of 3.8 m/s. What is the rate at which the frictional force dissipates energy during this time interval? My solution: The 3 kg mass has Fg down and a Tension force up and the 2kg mass has a tension force to the right and a friction force to the left. With my coordinate system, the tension forces cancelled out, and I got Fnet = Fg - Ffr Ffr = Fg - Fnet Fg = 3 * 10 = 30 N Fnet = Mtotal * a To find the acceleration of the system, I knew Vi = 0m/s, Vf = 3.8 m/s, y = 1.5m Vf2 = Vi2+ 2ay The…

Hi, i i have a few questions on momentum and collisions. 1)in a inelastic collision are both objects moving or can 1 be stationary. 2) In a elastic collision why is kinecetic energy conserved? 3) if kinectic energy is conserved in a elastic collision does it mean that it travels with the same velocity it had prior to the collision? And lucky last, a collision invovling dogems or bumper cars whould be what type of collision. Thanks,

Hi! I'm in the 8th grade working on a science fair project. i was just wondering if it was possible for bacteria inside microwaves to go into the food that you put in it to cook/reheat? I's really appreciate some help. Thank you!

I have an exam tomorrow and I have spent 3 hours trying to figure this out. I have the answer but not the method. You throw a rock from an edge at the speed of 12 m/s at an angle of 25°. You are 1,5 m above the edge and it is 10 m above the ground. No air resistance. Have calculated max height and time 0,61 s and 3,3 m b) how long is the rock in the air? c) how far from the edge (horizontally) does the rock land? d) what speed does the rock have when it lands? Answers b) 2,3 s (2,262) c) 24 m (23,51) d) 19 m (19,22) Please help me, am a bit desperate, really want to pass this test! I have figured out b and c Still need help with d

What is the importance of Figure 1 in this article? What can we infer from it? http://gnowledge.org/~sanjay/Advanced_Co... Thanks

I'm writing a thesis about Munchkin cats and their healt problem which are connected to their genetic mutation. I found that the characteristic of the short legs is linked to a gene called COMP. On the internet I wasn't able to find the locus of the gene in cat's genome and I only found these statement on a web site : chromosome A2: 13581271-13588841. If it's possible I would like to now what's the accurate meaning of the statement (what's A2, what's 13581271-13588841..)

PLEASE HELP: I will ask my questions on this topic.

So i want to find the expectation of a geometric Brownian motion: [math]E[e^{K^TW_t}][/math] Where K is a constant vector and [math]W_t[/math] is a vector of normal Brownian motions, both of length n. I assume that as [math]K^TW_t[/math] is a scalar I can just proceed in a similar fashion as the univariate case to get: [math]e^{\frac{1}{2}K^TK}[/math] But is it that simple or am i missing something as i suspect? As always, help very much appreciated.

Hi, I'm new to this site and was wondering if anyone can help me on an assignment. My assignment is about food heating packs. What happens to the surroundings in an exothermic heat pack, its energy changes, the chemicals in the heat packs the bonding breaking and making, oh and the word equations. I can't seem to find any of these things to research on the internet. So I'm hoping there's someone on here that can help me, because I'm at desperate point now. Thanks for reading xx

A satellite moves in a low circular orbit about a spherical earth that has no atmosphere (it barely skims the surface of the earth). Approximately how many minutes will it take the satellite to make one revolution around the earth? I think you would use Kepler's third law here, but there are no numbers and the answer choices are 80,82,84, and 86 minutes. How do you do this?

I know it's a lot of questions, but there're more... C. 1. Explain the 'salting out' effect' 2. Why an addition of Ethanol causing the Emulsion to break? 3. Why do we add Na2CO3 to the solution? 4. Why do we add Na2SO4 to the organic layer?

A car accelerates uniformly from rest, covering a distance of 125 m in 5 s. What is the car's acceleration in m/s^2? I thought the velocity would just be d/t = 125/5 = 25 m/s And then I thought the acceleration would be v/t = 25/5 = 5 m/s^2 But apparently the answer is 10 m/s^2 Why?

If the temperature of a star increases from 10,000K to 30,000K, by what factor will the rate of energy radiated per second increase? What formula am I supposed to use to determine this?

Two balls of the same mass are thrown towards a wall and collide with it moving with a speed of 5 m/s. Ball A hits the wall and rebounds with a speed of 4 m/s. Ball B hits the wall and stops. Assume that the collisions times are the same for each ball. Compared to ball B, ball A has ____ velocity change, ____ momentum change, and ____ impact force. So I figured out that A has a *greater* velocity change because it changes from +5 to -4 whereas B only changes from +5 to 0. And I figured out that the momentum change for A is also *greater* because of the same reason above because momentum = mass x change in velocity. And I kept getting the last blank wrong, but appare…

How show the map [latex]f:\mathbb R^2\rightarrow\mathbb R[/latex], defined as [latex]f(x,y)=x+y[/latex] is continuous for all [latex](x,y)\in\mathbb R^2[/latex]? Question: I want to show the map [latex]f:\mathbb R^2\rightarrow\mathbb R[/latex], defined as [latex]f(x,y)=x+y[/latex] is continuous for all [latex](x,y)\in\mathbb R^2[/latex]. Issue: I know how to prove this via the epsilon-delta way. I want to prove this using the projection functions [latex]p_1,p_2: \mathbb R^2\rightarrow\mathbb R[/latex] where [latex]p_1[/latex] maps [latex](x,y)\rightarrow x[/latex], similarly for [latex]p_2[/latex]. Now my books says via a result based on continuous functions fro…

If [latex]r:I\rightarrow J[/latex] is a smooth surjective function between perfect subspaces [latex]I[/latex] and [latex]J[/latex] of [latex]\mathbb{R}[/latex], can we always find a right inverse smooth function [latex]s : J \rightarrow I[/latex], i.e. [latex]r\circ s = id_{J}[/latex]? In the same fashion, does every smooth injective [latex]s:I\rightarrow J[/latex] have an smooth injective left inverse? A necessary condition is for the derivatives of [latex]r[/latex] and [latex]s[/latex] to be non-singular (in [latex]s(J)[/latex] and [latex]J[/latex] or in [latex]r(I)[/latex] and [latex]I[/latex] respectively at least). So one should at least assume that. This also…

I'm not sure whether I can post a business homework here, but anyway... I'm a business student and currently doing some project about confectionery industries around the world. I have already gathered enough information about the confectionery industries in different countries such as in Australia, Canada, Malaysia and many more. However, I got stuck with Cuba since I don't have enough sources to identify its domestic or international confectionery industries. Do this country have this kind of industry? If so, what is its confectionery industry domestic volume? revenue? profit? How many domestic and international confectionery manufacturers/wholesalers/retailers are t…

A ship has a volume of 85,000 cubic tons. The density of steel is 8 grams/milliliter and air is 0.001 grams/milliliter, what percent of the ship must be air to float in the water. ("The water" is 1 gram/milliliter) Thank you very much! Also I have to show work so a brief explanation would be great!

I have to find potential difference on plates of capacitors in DC circuit. I am given E1, E2, C1, C2, R1 and R2. The circuit looks like this: http://postimg.org/image/y179yiq2p/ Voltage at plates increases until at some point capacitors are fully charged and no current can flow throught their branch, right? So, in this steady state I write equations for each of two loops using Kirchoff's rules and they look like this: E 1 = IR1 + IR2 = I(R 1 + R2) E 2 = U1 + U2 + IR2 where U1 and U2 are voltages on capacitors. I need one more equation to solve the system, so I use this: q1 = C1U1 q2 = C2U2 and q1 = q2 , right, because amount of charge on b…

I know how to find out the molecular geometry and its corresponding bond angles when all the bonds are single bonds, but how much does a double and triple bond affect the bond angles? What if there is more than one double or triple bond? Or if a molecule as a double AND a triple bond? Thanks!

Dear all, This is directed at anybody working in the fields of microbiology. To the mods, feel free to move this post to the appropriate board.I am currently working with anaerobes and have been using an anaerobic biomerieux API test kit to identity some isolates. It has come to light that I do not possess the necessary passwords etc to access their database to identity the isolates. If anybody has a code I would greatly appreciate it if they could look up the following codes and private message me with the identities; 67756026, 77756026, 66377773 and 76777773. I apologise that this is my first post on the forums, it is out of desperation. In order to write up my proj…
