you are riding an elevator upwards at 2.20m/s. you have a balance accurately calibrated in newtons. when you hang a mass of 15.0 the balance, the reading of the balance is

Explanation:

Note: the unit for acceleration  in m/s^2

Also, the unit of the mass in the problem is assumed to be in kg

We are going to use newtons second law of motion which expresses the weight in an elevator as

F=ma

Given data

Acceleration of the elevator a= 2.2m/s^2

mass m = 15kg

substituting the data in the expression for force is

F=2.2*15

F= 33N

The reading of the balance is 33N

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz

it would be c. predictability
