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.

2. Tomas is hanging from a tree limb, that is inclined at a 65° angle. The force

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Were are told that the force

of gravity on Tomas is 57 N.

And it acts at an inclined angle of 65°

Thus;

The vertical component of the velocity is; F_y = 57 sin 65

While the horizontal component is;

F_x = 57 cos 65

Thus;

F_y = 51.66 N

F_x = 24.09 N

The net force will be;

F_net = √((F_y)² + (F_x)²)

F_net = √(51.66² + 24.09²)

F_net = √3249.0837

F_net = 57 N

Consider a 2.54-cm-diameter power line for which the potential difference from the ground, 19.6 m below, to the power line is 11

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The line charge density is $1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.54 cm

Distance = 19.6 m

Potential difference = 115 kV

We need to calculate the line charge density

Using formula of potential difference

$V=EA$

$V=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}\times\pi r^2$

$\lambda=\dfrac{V\times2\epsilon_{0}}{r}$

Where, r = radius

V = potential difference

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{115\times10^{3}\times2\times8.8\times10^{-12}}{1.27\times10^{-2}}$

$\lambda=1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

Hence, The line charge density is $1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

A 500-g lump of clay is dropped onto a 1-kg cart moving at 60 cm/s. The clay is moving downward at 30 cm/s just before l dith t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The speed of the cart and clay after the collision is 50 cm/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of lump , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg .

Velocity of lump , v = 30 cm/s .

Mass of cart , M = 1 kg .

Velocity of cart , V = 60 cm/s .

We know by conservation of momentum :

$mv+MV=(m+M)v'$

Here , $v'$ is the speed of the cart and clay after the collision .

Putting all value in above equation .

We get :

$0.5\times 30+1\times 60=(0.5+1)\times v'\\\\v'=\dfrac{15+60}{1.5}\\\\v'=50\ cm/s$

Hence , this is the required solution .

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (

Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

$x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

$0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}$

$10 + 8.3 x = 0$

$x = -1.20 m$

Similarly for y direction we have

$y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

$0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}$

$9.28 + 8.3 x = 0$

$x = -1.12 m$
