  • Finding the maximum range?

    A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of v0 at an angle θ. Show that the range x of the ball can be maximized when the ball is hit an angle of 45°.

  • Question regarding displacement?

    A projectile is fired from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees with an initial velocity of 75 ft/sec. Find

    (a) the displacement r(t)

    I think I might be approaching this the wrong way because I am finding it is either 0 because the ball lands at the same level... or that displacement is merely the y component of the motion of the ball.

    Also, for clarification we are not using kinematics here, only a(x) = 0 and a(y) = -9.8m/s^2 ... or of course -32.2ft/s^2

  • Projectile motion problem?

    Once again this problem deals with projectile motion and we are only worried about the x and y direction.

    A hunter aims directly at a target (on the same level) 140 m away. If the bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 280 m/s, by how much will the bullet miss the target?

  • Minimizing a function?

    I have worked out a funtion and arrived at this

    t(x) = sqrt(1 + x^2) / 2 + (1 - x) / 3

    The parenthesis are not part of the equation I just threw them in for clarification. I am trying to set the left side of the function to 0 and then solve for x but for some reason I am not quite getting the answer I need.

  • Physics Integration problem?

    A missile is accelerating at a rate of (4 t) m/s2 from a position at rest 35 m below ground level. How high above the ground will it be after 6 seconds? (Do not use kinematic equations; integrate acceleration to find velocity and then integrate velocity to find displacement)

  • Physics problem regarding velocity?

    The velocity of an automobile as a function of time is given by v=Bt - Ct^2, where B = 6.0 m/s^2 and C = 2.0 m/s^3.

    (a) At what times is the velocity zero?

    (b) At what time is the acceleration zero?

    (c) Sketch v as a function of t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4.0 s

  • Finding moles using Ideal Gas Law?

    A compound with the empirical formula CF2 has a density of 5.4 g/L at 62.3 degrees Celsius, 751 torr. What is it's molecular formula?

    Once I find moles I can finish the problem but for some reason I can't get the correct amount.

  • Finding the molarity of a solution of citric acid?

    A solution contains an unknown concentration of citric acid, H3C6H5O7. A 15.73 mL portion of this solution is placed in a flask and titrated with 0.121 M NaOH. The endpoint is reached when 23.44 mL of the NaOH solution have been added. Calculate the molarity of the citric acid solution.

  • Identifying an unknown compound?

    All of the first row transition elements (Sc through Zn) form water-soluble compounds with bromine. Some have the general formula MBr2, others have the formula MBr3.

    A 0.654 g sample of an unknown compound containing a first row transition metal and bromine is dissolved in water. When excess 0.1 M AgNO3 is added to this solution, a precipitate forms. The precipitate weighs 1.263 g. Identify the unknown compound.

  • Determining the molarity of an unknown solution?

    A chemist wants to determine the molarity of a CuSO4 solution. The following reactions are carried out:

    Rxn 1: The chemist mixes 12.50 mL of the CuSO4 solution with excess 0.1 M KI solution.

    4 KI(aq) + 2 CuSO4(aq) --> 2 CuI(s) + I2(aq) + 2 K2SO4(aq)

    Rxn 2: The Chemist adds 0.0816 M Na2S2O3 to the mixture from reaction 1, and the following reaction occurs:

    2 Na2S2O3(aq) + I2(aq) --> Na2S4O6(aq) + 2 NaI(aq)

    it requires 14.55 mL of the Na2S2O3 solution to consume all of the I2 formed in the first reaction. Calculate the molarity of the original CuSO4 solution.

  • Need Help finding an Empirical Formula?

    Osmium (Os, element 76) reacts with Oxygen to form a binary compound. Determine the empirical formula of this compound from the following experimental data:

    When 3.226 g of Osmium is mixed with 6.144 g of oxygen, all of the Osmium is consumed, but some oxygen is left over. The remainging oxygen is allowed to react with excess aluminum, forming 10.745 g of Al2O3

  • Determining the limiting reagent?

    A chemist mixes 6.277 g of KMnO4, 3.514 g of C2H5OH and 7.212 g of H2SO4 reacting as follows:

    4 KMnO4 + 5 C2H5OH + 6H2SO4 --> 4 MnSO4 + 5 HC2H3O2 + 2 K2SO4 + 11 H2O

    If the reaction goes to completion, how many grams of each product will be formed, and how many grams of each reactant will be left over?

    I would appreciate help with the whole problem but what I really need is how to find the limiting reagent with three reactants in the equation.
