Answer:

Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. 

Explanation:

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

nert xenon actually forms many compounds, especially with highly electronegative fluorine. The ΔH o f values for xenon difluorid

loris [4]

Answer:

For Xenon fluoride, the average bond energy is 132kj/mol

For tetraflouride,the average bond energy is 150.5kj/mol.

For hexaflouride, the average bond energy is 146.5 kj/mol

Explanation:

For xenon fluoride

105/2 = 52.5

For F-F

159/2 = 79.5

Average bond energy of Xe-F = 79.5 + 52.5 = 132kj/mole

For tetraflouride

284/4 = 71

For F-F

159/2 = 79.5

Average bond energy = 79.5 + 71 = 150.5kj/mol

For hexaflouride

402/6 = 67

F-F = 159/2 = 79.5

Average bond energy = 67 + 79.5 = 146.5kj/ mol

A ball has a mass of 0.1 kg and an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The ball is given an acceleration of 30 m/s2 for 5 s. What is the

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

acceleration = v-u /t

30- 20/5

= 10/5 = 2m/sec²

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.1 * 2

Force = 0.2 Newton

A spherical capacitor is formed from two concentric sphericalconducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius1

zubka84 [21]

Explanation:

(1). Formula to calculate the potential difference is as follows.

$\Delta V = -\int E dr$

= $-\int \frac{kq}{r^{2}} dr$

= $\frac{kq}{r_{f}} - \frac{kq}{r_{i}}$

= $\frac{kq(r_{f} - r_{i})}{r_{f}r_{i}}$

= $\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 3.30 \times 10^{-9}(0.1 - 0.015)}{0.1 \times 0.015}$

= 38.7 volts

Therefore, magnitude of the potential difference between the two spheres is 38.7 volts.

(2). Now, formula to calculate the energy stored in the capacitor is as follows.

E = $\frac{1}{2}QV$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 3.30 \times 10^{-9} \times 3.87 V$

= $6.39 \times 10^{-8} J$

Thus, the electric-field energy stored in the capacitor is $6.39 \times 10^{-8} J$ .

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to

Andrew [12]

Answer:

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to gain 1 valence electron to have a full octet.

Explanation:

In the periodic table the elements are ordered so that those with similar chemical properties are located close to each other.

The elements are arranged in horizontal rows, called periods, which coincide with the last electronic layer of the element. That is, an element with five electronic shells will be in the fifth period.

The columns of the table are called groups. The elements that make up each group coincide in their electronic configuration of valence electrons, that is, they have the same number of electrons in their last.

The elements tend to resemble the closest noble gases in terms of their electronic configuration of the last layer, that is, having eight electrons in the last layer to be stable.

Bromine belongs to group 17 (VII A), which indicates that it has 7 electrons in its last shell. So bromine requires more energy to lose all 7 electrons and generate stability, than it does to gain 1 electron and fill in 8 electrons to be stable. So:

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to gain 1 valence electron to have a full octet.

Alice kicks a soccer ball with a mass of 2 kg. The ball leaves the ground moving 30 meters per second. What is the kinetic energ

sleet_krkn [62]

By using the formula:

• K.E = ½mv²

mass, m = 2 kg
Velocity, v = 30 m/s

→ K.E = ½ × 2 × (30)² J

→ K.E = (30)² J

→ K.E = 900 J (Answer)
