Answer:

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

Explanation:

I just took the quiz on Edgenuity.

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)$

If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)$

We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)$

In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
Replacing in (3), we have:

$(4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2} = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2} = 2*g*D$

Solving for D:

$D = \frac{15*v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}$

From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}$

⇒ D = 15 * H

$\frac{D}{H} = 15$

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

$q$ = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

$\Delta V$ =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

$v$ = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

$(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}$

$r$ = Radius of the path followed by ion

$B$ = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

$qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm$

If a machine will do 50 J of work in 35 seconds how much power did it produce?

grandymaker [24]

Power is the amount of work done over a period of time. If you will put that into an equation, the formula of power will be:

P = W/t
Where:
P = power
W=work
t = time

Your problem already provides you with work and time so all you need to do is divide:

P = W/t
P = 50J/30s
P = 1.67 W
