Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

If the moon were 2 times closer to earth than it is now, the gravitational force between earth and the moon would be

il63 [147K]

So much brighter and the moon would be so much darker than it is now because the moon is further away from the moon than it is now...

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?

hammer [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?

Rama09 [41]

The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J$

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
$K_f = 0 J$
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
$W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J$
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

Suppose an electron and a proton move at the same speed. which particle has a longer de broglie wavelength? suppose an electron

BARSIC [14]

When both particles, the electron and the proton move at the same speed, they may have differences with their de Broglie wavelength, the particle that would have a longer wavelength would be the proton since the wavelength is in direct proportionality with the mass of the particle.

Please could someone explain this.

icang [17]

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '. Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.
