It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>

The energy required to remove second electron from lithium is more as compared to removing fourth electron from carbon

EXPLANATION:

The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom is called as ionization energy of the electron.

The second ionization energy of lithium atom is more as compared to fourth ionization energy of carbon atom. It is so because the second electron which is to be emitted from the K-shell of lithium atom, is tightly bound by the nucleus as the orbit is very closer to the nucleus.

In case of carbon, the fourth electron is present in the valence shell.The radius of valence shell is not so close as compared to lithium.The screening effect is also more for carbon as compared to lithium.

Hence, the energy required to remove a second electron from lithium is more that the energy required to remove fourth electron from carbon.

A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.

Why is the light bulb not a closed system?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:An incandescent light bulb gives only energy of the system in the form of heat. ... The roof of a house is stable but it receives energy from the surroundings and transfers energy through it towards lower temperature side which includes no mass transfer. So, it is best considered as closed system.

An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1600 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally
amid [387]

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab originally moves downward is 18422.4 N

What is tension?

Tension is described as the pulling force by the means of a three-dimensional object.

Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Here,

m =combined mass = 1600 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 42 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 12 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

According to the equation of motion:

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as

0 - 12^2 = 2*a*42

a = - 144 / 84

a = - 1.714 m/s^2

Now let's write the equation of the forces acting on the elevator. Taking upward as positive direction:

T-mg = ma

T = m(g-a)

T = 1600 ( 9.8-(-1.74))

T=18422.4 N

Hence,

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward is 18422.4 N
