If there is a lot of friction in a machine, the parts get easily worn out, and gets broken.

Which elements will bond ionically with barium such that the formula would be written as BaX2? A) Nitrogen, chlorine, and sodium

erma4kov [3.2K]

The answer would be:

B. Chlorine, iodine and Fluorine

Barium has 2 valence electrons. To satisfy the BaX₂ , this would mean that Barium will need to give one of each of its electrons. The elements that need 1 electron would be those that have 7 valence electrons to complete the octet. These elements would fall in group 7 or halogens. Chlorine, iodine and fluorine are all in Group 7, so this would be the best choice.

A thin rod of length 1.4 m and mass 140 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing l

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a The kinetic energy is $KE = 0.0543 J$

b The height of the center of mass above that position is $h = 1.372 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L = 1.4m$

The mass of the rod $m = 140 = \frac{140}{1000} = 0.140 \ kg$

The angular speed at the lowest point is $w = 1.09 \ rad/s$

Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is

$I = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Substituting values

$I = \frac{(0.140) (1.4)^2}{3}$

$I = 0.0915 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.0915) (1.09)^2$

$KE = 0.0543 J$

From the law of conservation of energy

The kinetic energy of the rod during motion = The potential energy of the rod at the highest point

Therefore

$KE = PE = mgh$

$0.0543 = mgh$

$h = \frac{0.0543}{9.8 * 0.140}$

$h = 1.372 \ m$

A woman walked 115 m. As she did so, her speed increased from 4.20 m/s to 5.00 m/s. How long did it take her to walk this distan

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

25 seconds

Explanation:

Assuming the woman is accelerating at a constant rate of $a \;\;m/s^2$ from the initial velocity, u=4.20 m/s, to the final velocity, v=5.00 m/s.

Let she takes t seconds to cover the distance, s=115 m.

As acceleration, $a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{5-4.2}{t}$

$\Rightarrow at=0.8\cdots(i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 12 at^2$

$\Rightarrow s=ut+\frac 12 at(t)$

$\Rightarrow 115=4.2t+\frac 12 \times 0.8 t$ [ from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow 115=(4.2+0.4)t$

$\Rightarrow t= 115/4.6 = 25$ seconds.

Hence, she takes 25 seconds to walk the distance.
