No, it is impossible to determine the exact location of an electron. This is because electrons don't have a definite position, and direction of motion, at the same time and its movements are unpredictable

Match each statement with the characteristic of scientists.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Options B, A, D, C

Explanation:

When a scientists, let's say Roberto wonders if the presence of other elements also affects the color of a flame, he can decide to prove this through a study. Therefore, in chemistry class, Roberto sees that traces of lithium makes a flame appear bright red. Subsequently, Roberto designs an experiment to test flame color in the presence of different elements and finally Roberto's friend tells him the color of a flame cannot be changed, but Roberto is still unsure.

A motorcycle traveling at a speed of 44.0 mi/h needs a minimum of 44.0 ft to stop. If the same motorcycle is traveling 79.0 mi/h

Tasya [4]

Answer:

141.78 ft

Explanation:

When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.

Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 44 mi/h\\\\s = 0.00833 mi\\\\=> 0^2 = 44^2 + 2 * a * 0.00833\\\\=> 1936 = -0.01666a\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h^2 or -14.43 m/s^2$

Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.

When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2

Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v = 0 mi/h\\\\u = 79 mi/h\\\\a = -116206.48 mi/h\\\\=> 0^2 = 79^2 + (2 * -116206.48 * s)\\\\6241 = 232412.96s\\\\s = \frac{6241}{232412.96} \\\\s = 0.0268531 mi = 141.78 ft$
