I assume the element has 5 valence electrons (not neutrons). The similar properties are shared between y and z since they have the same number of valence electrons. This is what is primarily responsible for chemical behavior.
Answer:
45.6 cm
Explanation:
Let x (m) be the length that the spring is compressed. We know that when we drop the mass from 4.84 m above and compress the springi, ts gravitational energy shall be converted to spring potential energy due to the law of energy conservation


where h = 4.84 + x is the distance from the dropping point the the compressed point, and k = 24N/cm = 2400N/m is the spring constant, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration constant. And m = 4.8 kg is the object mass.



or 45.6 cm
Answer:
Frictional force opposes relative motion between surfaces
Explanation:
Friction that exists when the object is not moving is called static friction. In static friction ,If we are applying a force in the object the frictional force is in the opposite direction . If it is not the case, there have been some net force and the object starts accelarating.
The main component of the contact force of two objects is normal force and that is in the perpendicular direction. Frictional force is other complnent. This frictional force is parallel to the interface between objects. Frictional force opposes relative motion between surfaces.
They both exert an equal amount of force onto each other
