A) lithium and beryllium

Explanation:

From the given row on the periodic table, only lithium and beryllium will conduct electricity.

What makes a substance able to conduct electricity?

The presence of free mobile electrons and in some, ions allows them to carry electric currents.

Metals are generally known to be good conductors of heat and electricity. This is because, metals have a large pool of electrons i.e free mobile electrons. They are electropositive with a large size and readily release their electrons for conduction.

Lithium and Beryllium are in the metallic block on the periodic table.

A researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the f

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem relates to interference of light in thin films .

The condition of bright fringe in thin films which is sandwitched by two layers of medium having lesser refractive index is as follows.

2nt = (2n+1) λ / 2 , n is refractive index of thin layer , t is its thickness , λ is wavelength of light .

2 x 1.5 t = λ / 2 , if n = 0 for minimum thickness.

2 x 1.5 t = 600 / 2 nm

t = 100 nm .

8. The legs of a young man are each 0.650 meters long. What is his maximum walking speed?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.52 m/s

Explanation:

When the man takes a step, his foot is stationary while his body revolves around it. At the point when his body is directly above his foot, there will be no normal force at his maximum speed.

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 0.650 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.650 m)

v = 2.52 m/s

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because

maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as $E = mc^{2}$ where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

$H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

$H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy$

$He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

Here $e_{+1} ^{0}$ is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e $10^{6} K$

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.
