Answer: 9.6kg

Explanation:

According to research, a person with compromised strength in his finger can apply a normal force of 6N to either side of a pinch held object like a notebook.

Since the person is holding onto to the book vertically, the force applied on both sides of the book slightly is 6 + 6 = 12N.

If the coefficient of friction of the surface between the finger and the book cover is given as 0.80.

From the relationship,

F = uR, u is the frictional force, R is the slight resultant force exerted on both side of the book.

Therefore,

F = 0.8 × 12 = 9.6N

The max mass of book this person can hold onto vertically before it slip off his finger will be derived from the formula

F = Mg

If we take acceleration due to gravity as 10m/s², and make M the subject of formula, we have

M = F/g = 9.6/10 = 0.96kg.

Answer: The mass of the heaviest book the person can hold is 0.0157 kilogram

Explanation:

From Force F = Coefficient of friction * length

Note, average length of human fingers is 7.6inches = 0.19304 meters

F= 0.8 *0.19304

F= 0.1544 N

But F = mass m * acceleration g

Mass m = F/g

m = 0.1544/9.81

m = 0.0157 kg

Give a combination of four quantum numbers that could be assigned to an electron occupying a 5p orbital.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

n=5, l=1, m(l) = -1, m(s)= + 1/2

Explanation:

Quantum number are used to describe the position and spin of an electron inside an atom. There are four types of quantum number for describing an electron inside an atom. They are: the principal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number and angular momentum quantum number.

(1).PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER: denoted by n, and has possible values of n= 1,2,3,4,.... IN HERE, n= 5

(2).ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER: it is denoted by l, and has possible values of l= 0,1,2,3,...,(n-1).

Our l here is one( that is, s-orbital=0, p-orbital=1, d-orbital= 3 and so on)

(3).MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER: The magnetic quantum number, which is denoted by m subscribt l, specifies the exact orbital in which you can find the electron. It has values ranging from -l,...,-1,0,1,...,l.

Here, our value is -1 that is m(l)= -1

(4).SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER: describes the orientation of electrons. Electrons can only have two values here, either a positive one and the half(+1/2) that is the spin up electron or the negative one and half(-1/2) that is the spin down electron.
