Answer:

They have three to six valence electrons, so they can lose or gain electrons.

Explanation:

I just took the quiz on Edgenuity.

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 2.5 x 10-15 m before
Tasya [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, d=2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m

Speed of light, c=3\times 10^{8}\ m\s

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. The speed is given by :

c=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{c}

t=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m}{3\times 10^{8}\ m/s}

t=8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s

So, the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur is 8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge.   The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where  σ is charge density of surface and  ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

What is the net force experienced by the rope? Include both the magnitude and direction
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

All the physical world objects that comers in the contact to exert the force to each other. The contact forces are different from their names and what type of force they exert.

Explanation:

The cables and the ropes are the useful objects that exert the forces that can efficiently transfer the force from a significant distance.

It is noted that tension is a type of force that the rope can not simply push it away effectively. When push happened with rope, the rope goes to slack and lose all the tension that pulls at the first place. Tension only pull objects.

Density: Two blocks, A and B, are put in a tank of water. Block A has a density of 1.21 g/cm³. Block B has a density of 1.37 g/c
stira [4]

Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of  body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

  • Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
  • Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.
