Answer:

-13

Explanation:

Function

f(x) = -x² + x - 1

Solving

Substitute 2 in place of x
f(2) = -(2)² + 2 - 1
f(2) = -4 + 2 - 1
f(2) = -3
f(f(2)) = f(-3)
f(-3) = -(-3)² - 3 - 1
f(-3) = -9 - 3 - 1
f(f(2)) = -13

How many electrons can possess this set of quantum numbers: principal quantum number n = 4, magnetic quantum number mℓ = −1?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

To solve this question lets determine the possible quantum numbers for the principal quantum number n = 4.

For the quantum number l which describes the shape of the orbital, we have the possible values : 0 to n-1.

Thus, for n = 4 the l can assume the values 0, 1, 2, 3 ( 4 possible shapes )

For the angular quantum number, ml, which tell us the orientation in space,we have the values - l to + l.

So lets determine the number of orbials which can have the values -l for n=4

l = 0 ml = 0

l= 1 ml = -1,0,1

l= 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

l= 3 ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

So we have three orbital with ml = - 1 and from Pauli´s exclusion principle we can have up two electrons in each orbital. Thus for n= 4 we can have up to 6 electrons with ml = -1

A person walks 5.0kilometers north, then 5.0 kilometers east. His displacement is closest to ? A. 10 kilometers northwest B. 7.1

Rainbow [258]

Use vector analysis and calculate resultant vector using Pythagoras theorem:
5^2 + 5^2 = 50
Square root of 50 = approx 7.1 km NE
Therefore the answer is D

A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

$F_{Earth}$ = 15.57 N

$F_{Moon}$ = 2.60 N

$F_{Uranus}$ = 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

$F_{Earth}$ =m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

$F_{Moon}$ =m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

$F_{Uranus}$ =m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg
