Which of the following is an example of how light does NOT require a medium?

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$v=10m/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

$F_N+Fg$

where

$F_N =forceof the normal$

$Fg= force due to gravity$

Generally the net force is given to be $FC(force towards center)$

$F_C =F_N + Fg$

$F_N =F_C -Fg$

$F_N=F_C-F_g$

$F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg$

Mathematical we can now derive V

$m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}$

$\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}$

$v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}$

$v=10m/sec$

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be $v=10m/sec$

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$ ............................................(1)
