Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are also known as electrovalent bonds.

For ionic bonds to form, there is transfer of valence electrons from the metal to the non-metal. Metals are electropositive and would easily allow electrons to leave.

The goal of bonding is to achieve the octet configuration. An atom can lose or gain electrons to achieve this.

For example, to form NaCl, Na would loose its 1 valence electron. Cl would gain the Valence electron and complete it's octet with it.

This transfer of electron creates the ionic bond.

The metal which is less electronegative becomes positively charged. The non metal being more electronegative would become negatively charged.

Ionic compounds are polar compounds.

An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1790 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.36 m/s. After being pa

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of the ambulance, f = 1790 Hz

Frequency at the cyclist, f' = 1780 Hz

Speed of the cyclist, v₀ = 2.36 m/s

let the velocity of the ambulance be 'vₓ'

Now,

the Doppler effect is given as:

$f'=f\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_x}$

where, v is the speed of sound

since the ambulance is moving towards the cyclist. thus, the sign will be positive

thus,

$v_x=\frac{f}{f'}(v+v_o)-v$

on substituting the values, we get

$v_x=\frac{1790}{1780}(343+2.36)-343$

vₓ = 4.30 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s

Here is a force diagram of an object in water. The weight of the object is 15N and the buoyancy force is 17N. Will the object fl

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Object will float.

Explanation:

Total force on the body = Weight of body + Buoyancy force on body.

Weight of body = 15 N downwards = 15 N

Buoyancy force on body = 17 N upwards = -17 N

Total force on body = 15 - 17 = -2 N = 2 N upwards

So, the body will float.

Object will float.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Column 1 should be titled “Time,” and Column 2 should be titled

“Velocity.” ⇒ 1st answer

Explanation:

* Lets revise some definitions of graphs

A velocity-time graph represents the speed and direction an object

travels over a period of time.

Velocity-time graph is called speed-time graph.

The vertical axis of a velocity-time graph represents the velocity of the

object and horizontal axis represents the time from the initial position

In an acceleration time graph y-axis represents the acceleration, and

x-axis represents the time

The table represents the speed of a car in a northern direction over

several seconds

That means the data in the table represent the velocity of the car in a

certain time

Time (s) Velocity (m/s)

Column 1 would be on the x-axis

x-axis represents the time

Column 2 would be on the y-axis

y-axis represents the velocity

Column 1 should be titled “Time,” and Column 2 should be titled

“Velocity.”

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho

kap26 [50]

So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)
