direction, and the two latch onto each other and continue together. What is their final speed?
A.) 16 m/s
B.) 6.0 m/s
C.) 10 m/s
D.) 14 m/s

This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

You do 45.0 joules of work and 3.00 seconds how much power do you use​
Arada [10]

Answer:

15 watt

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

This means you divide the work done with the amount of time used to perform the work.

The formula for Power is : P = W/t  where;

W= work done in J = 45

t= time in seconds = 3 sec

P= 45/ 3 = 15 watt

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.

Whiat is quantum numbers describes the size and energy of an orbital?
Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.
