Tema [17]3 years ago

<em>The correct answer to this question is actually letter B.</em> To expound on this, let's discuss each choice.

A. The particles inside the nucleus, protons and nucleus, don't actually dictate the properties of substances because the nucleus constitutes very little space compared to the rest of the atoms.

B. It is the electrons, especially the valence electrons, that dictate the property because these are the electrons that take part in chemical reactions.

C. The atomic number is the number of protons. It has nothing to do with the neutrons.

D. The atomic mass only tells the weight of each atom. The weight does not dictate the chemical properties of a substance.

What current flow (I) is associated with an input voltage of 5.0V and resistors R1 = 1.5 kiloohms and R2 = 0.5 kiloohms? Calcula
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

current in series is 2.50 mA

current in parallel is 13.51 mA

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 5 V

resistors R1 = 1.5 kilo ohms

resistors R2 = 0.5 kilo ohms

to given data

current flow

solution

current flow in series is express as here

current = voltage / resistor    .................1

put here all value  in equation 1

current = 5 / (1.5 + 0.5)

current = 5 / 2.0

so current = 2.50 mA

and

current flow in parallel is express as

current = voltage / resistor   ....................2

put here all value in equation  2

current = 5 / (1/ (1/1.5 + 1/0.5))

current = 5 / 0.37

so current = 13.31 mA

A mass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by 5cm and released. The system then oscillates in simple
aliina [53]

Answer:

T= 1 s

Explanation:

Given that

When x=  cm ,T= 1

we know that time period of spring mas system given as

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

T= Time period

m= mass

k=spring constant

So from above equation we can say that time period of system does not depends on the value of x.

So when x= 10 cm ,still time period will be 1 s.

T= 1 s
