Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Alkynes

Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The general formula for an alkyne is \( C_nH_{2n-2} \), where \( n \) is the number of carbon atoms.

Step 2: Applying the Formula

Given that the hydrocarbon has 10 carbon atoms, we substitute \( n = 10 \) into the alkyne formula:

\[ C_{10}H_{2(10)-2} = C_{10}H_{18} \]

Final Answer

The molecular formula of the alkyne with 10 carbon atoms is \(\boxed{C_{10}H_{18}}\).

An object of mass 10 kg is released from rest 2000 m above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the object with proportionality constant b=50 N sec/m, determine the equation of motion of the object. When will the object strike the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m / sec^2 and let x(t) represent the distance the object has fallen in t seconds. Determine the equation of motion of the object. x(t)=

The cost C, in millions of dollars, of producing q items is given by C=4.1+0.002 q. Interpret the 4.1 and the 0.002 in terms of production. Interpretation of 4.1: NOTE: Check all the correct interpretations. The 4.1 represents the fixed cost of 4.1 million. The 4.1 represents the fixed cost of 4.1. The 4.1 is the cost of producing zero units. The 4.1 is the cost in million of producing zero units.

Describe what is misleading in the following visual display of data. Choose the correct answer below. A. The bars are not scaled proportionately in terms of the data they represent. B. The images in front of or behind each bar make it look as though the bars are taller than they really are. C. The wrong impression has been created about how the data are changing because equally spaced intervals are not used on the horizontal axis. D. The scale of the vertical axis makes the differences in bar height look larger than they really are.
