(A) noble gases / group 18

Answer: A) noble

Explanation:

Noble gases are group 18 elements which have completely filled valence shell. thus they do not lose or gain electrons and are called as nonreactive or noble.

Electron configuration of radon is:

Rn:[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6

Halogens are group 17 elements and have a valency of 1 as they can gain one electron to attain stable configuration.

Group 1 elements are alkali metals which have a valency of 1 as they can lose their outermost electron to attain stable configuration.

Diatomic means the molecule contains two atoms in one molecule.

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude thatthere mustbe no forces applied to the car.the netforc
Allisa [31]

Answer:

the net force applied to the car is zero.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object (a) is directly proportional to the net force applied (F):

a=\frac{F}{m}

where m is the object's mass.

In this problem, the car is moving with constant velocity: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0. Therefore, according to the previous equation, the net force must also be zero: F = 0. So, the correct answer is

the net force applied to the car is zero.

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two tuning forks, 254 Hz. and 260 Hz., are struck simultaneously. How many beats will be heard?
Lisa [10]

The longer you continue to listen, the more beats will be heard.

They'll occur at the rate of (260Hz - 254Hz) = 6 Hz .

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's _______ and _______ waves to help determine the distance betw
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.
