5 0

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula is CH_{4}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Empirical formula is defined as the formula in which atoms in a compound are present in simplest whole number ratios.

For the given options:

<u>Option A:</u>  C_4H_{10}

As, the atoms are not in the smallest whole number ratio, it is not the empirical formula. The empirical formula of this will be C_2H_5

<u>Option B:</u>  C_3H_{6}

As, the atoms are not in the smallest whole number ratio, it is not the empirical formula. The empirical formula of this will be CH_2

<u>Option C:</u>  CH_{4}

As, the atoms are in the smallest whole number ratio, it is the empirical formula.

<u>Option D:</u>  C_2H_{6}

As, the atoms are not in the smallest whole number ratio, it is not the empirical formula. The empirical formula of this will be CH_3

Hence, the empirical formula is CH_{4}

a skateboarder wants to skate down the ramp at a skate park he will want the forces acting on him to be
kvasek [131]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

At the skate park when a skateboarder wants to skate down a ramp, the skate boarder wishes to move faster and with speed so that it help him to skate more time. This can only be achieved if the all the forces acting on him will increase as he skates down the ramp without much of the frictional force acting on the wheels of the skate board. The less friction force acts on the wheel, the more he can skate with more speed.

Thus, the skateboarder wants the force to be increase that is acting on him.

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a
Pepsi [2]

Answer: <em>Acceleration of the ball in the given system is 5 meter per Second Square</em>

<em>The laws of motion are used to determine various aspects of an object in motion</em>.

Explanation:

Applying the first law of motion to calculate acceleration; if formula used in first law is given as v=u+at

Here we have a final velocity as 40 meter per second and initial velocity as 20 meter per second and time span is given as 2 second applying the given values in the given equation and finding the value of a

                            30=20+a \times 2 = a=5 m/s^2

Which element in period 3 has three times the electronegativity value compared to that of li in period 2
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Elements in period two includes lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

According to periodic trends, the electro negativity values are expected to increase across the period up to fluorine. Hence, as we go right wards, we encounter elements with higher electronegative values.

While lithium has an electronegative value of 1 , the electronegative value of element nitrogen is thrrr times this which is equal to three
