It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

A big lump of meat of mass 5Kg is hung from a spring balance in an elevator. Find the reading of the balance of (I) the elevator

Mrrafil [7]

The reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

T = m g + m a

T = Force

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

a = Acceleration

m = 5 kg

g = 10 m / s²

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed,

At steady speed, a = 0

T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0 )

T = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s²,

a = 0.2 m / s²

T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0.2 )

T = 50 + 1

T = 51 N

Therefore, the reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

A hair dryer uses 1200 watts of power. Current flow through

KonstantinChe [14]

The answer is: 120V

Power is the rate at which energy is supplied/transformed in time:
we can write:

V ddp in Volts represents Energy/Charge i.e. energy carried by each coulomb;

I current in Amperes represents Charge/time or coulombs passing each seconds.

combining them we have:

Power = energy/time = V • 1

or

1200 = V ⋅ 10
V = 1200/10 = 120V

Two charges, each of 2.9 microC are placed at two corners of a square 50cm on a side, If the charges are on one side of the squa

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 2.9\mu C$

Second charge $q_{2}= 2.9\mu C$

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C$

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

$E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta$

$E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45$

$E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

$E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta$

$E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45$

$E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the net electric field

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}$

$E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C$

$E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})$

$\theta=75.36^{\circ}$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

A stone dropped from the top of a building reaches the ground with a velocity of 49ms¹. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.

bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 49 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

49 m/s = (9.8 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 5 s

A train travels 79 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 77 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed?

koban [17]

Average speed=total distance traveled/time. Total distance=the sum of the two short distances=79*2+77*3=389 km. Total time used to travel is 2+3=5 hr. Average speed is 389/5=77.8 km/hr.
