No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.
But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.
Answer:
T = 0.003 s
(Period is written as T)
Explanation:
Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)
frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second
(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)
Period : T
frequency : f
So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period
T = 
f = 
to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300
T = 
T = 0.00333333333
So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s
[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]
Answer:
Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table
Explanation:
The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.
The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.
The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.
Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.
The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.
- As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.
Answer:
1.48kg
Explanation:
Here,
potential energy (P.E) = 29j
height (h) = 2m
acceleration due to gravity(g) =
mass(m) = ?
we know,
P.E = mgh
or, 29 = m×9.8×2
or, 29/19.6 = m
or,m = 1.48kg
C. Lack of mates. If they cannot reproduce enough, their size will reduce.
