Answer:
A. Atoms are the smallest unit of an element.
Explanation:
The correct statement from the given choices is that atoms are the smallest unit of an element.
Atoms are the smallest particles that takes part in chemical reactions and they are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
- Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split up into simpler substances.
- They are made up of only one kind of atoms.
- Elements are not changed into atoms by chemical reactions.
- In chemical reactions, atoms simply recombine.
The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component.
The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)
From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
RV = Vy
Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
RV = Vx
Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.
F = normal force by each board on each side
W = weight of the board in between acting in down direction = 95.5 N
f = frictional force in upward direction by each board
= coefficient of friction = 0.663
Using equilibrium of force in Upward direction
f + f = W
f = W/2
f = 95.5/2 = 47.75 N
frictional force is given as
f = F
47.75 = (0.663) F
F = 72.02 N
