Sodium chloride, NaCl, is formed when a sodium atom transfers its electron to a chlorine atom. The difference in charge between the two atoms creates a(n) electrostatic attraction that bonds them together.

Explanation:

Sodium being a metal has 1 extra electron whereas chlorine being a non-metal is electron deficient. As a result, in order to complete their octet sodium will transfer its one electron to chlorine.

As a result, sodium becomes positively charged and chlorine will become negatively charged. Thus, there will be formation of an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine.

This opposite charge on both these atoms will cause an electrostatic repulsion between the two.

Thus, we can conclude that the difference in charge between the two atoms creates a(n) electrostatic attraction that bonds them together.

When you take pictures with a camera, the distance between the lens and the film or chip has to be adjusted, depending on the di
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a camera shifts focus from a faraway object to a nearby object, the lens-to-film distance must increase. Likewise, when it shifts focus from a nearby object to a distant object, there must be an increase in the lens to film distance (that is, the image distance).

Therefore, if the picture of an object that is far away, the lens must move towards the film.

The focal length cannot be changed because it is fixed for a lens. Nevertheless, in order to focus on an object, the image distance can be changed.

A turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A truck driver stops and picks up the turtle.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity is defined as:

\frac{Total displacement}{Total time}

The turtle first walks 18m south, and then is taken 1,1Km (or 1100m) north. Thus, the total displacement  is 1082m north (1100m north - 18m south).

Now we have to calculate the total time, which will be equal to the sum of the time the turtle walked and the time it was taken by truck.

The walking time is 3.5 minutes. Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, then the walking time is 210 seconds.

To calculate the truck time we use the equation:

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

Where the distance the truck travelled is 1100m and the speed of the truck is 12m/s.

Thus,

Truck time= \frac{1100m}{12m/s}= 91.67s

The total time is the sum of the walking time and the truck time.

Total time = 210s + 91.67s = 301.67s.

As mencioned previously, the average velocity is equal to total displacement/ total time, thus:

Average velocity = \frac{1082m}{301.67s} = 3.59 m/s North

Since the average velocity is a vector, it has a magnitude and a direction. In this case the magnitude is 3.59 m/s and the direction is north since the turtle's final displacement is north of where it started.

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

Sounds are produced by objects that are______
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Vibrating

Explanation:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound is a form of mechanical energy.

Ryan is driving home from work and notices a deer leaping onto the road about 25 m in front of his car. He immediately applies t
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

mu = 0.56

Explanation:

The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:

v^2=v_0^2+2ax\\

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h

    = 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s

x: distance = 25m

BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:

a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{0m^2/s^2-(16.66m/s)^2}{2(25m)}=-5.55\frac{m}{s^2}

with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:

F_f=ma=(1490kg)(5.55m/s^2)=8271.15N

Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:

F_f= \mu N=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{8271.15N}{(1490kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.56

hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56
