A 1.60 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 8.93 m high. The snowball's initial velocity is 12.4 m/s, directed 30.0° above the hori

zontal. (a) How much work is done on the snowball by the gravitational force during its flight to the flat ground below the cliff? (b) What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the snowball-Earth system during the flight? (c) If that gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the height of the cliff, what is its value when the snowball reaches the ground?

Answer:

(A)Workdone –140.022J (B) ΔPE –140.022J (C)

PE2 = –140.022J

Explanation:

The workdone by the gravitational force is given by the product of the force if gravity acting on the mass and the vertical displacement of the mass.

The for is the weight of the body.

W = mg

The vertical displacement = h

Workdone = W ×h = mgh

m = 1.60kg

g = 9.8m/s²

h = ‐8.93m

Workdone = –1.60×9.8×8.93 = – 140.022J

(b) From the work and energy theorem, which states that, the change in potential energy is the total workdone in displacing it vertically over a distance h.

So the change in potential energy, ΔPE = Workdone = –140.022J

(C)

Taking the top of the cliff as PE1 and the ground as PE2

PE2 – PE1 = workdone

Given that PE1 = 0J

So substituting the values in the equation above.

PE2 – 0 = –140.022J.

PE2 = –140.022J

In the whole of this calculation we did not need to use the velocity given or calculate the height the snowball rises during the course of its motion as the workdone in rising that height against gravity will be cancelled out by the force of gravity during descending part of the motion of the snowball as the force of gravity will do an equal but opposite (negative) work on the snowball. So for this kind of problem only the start and end points of the motion are important for consideration as every other point is traveled twice vertically. First going up and second when coming back down.

Answer:

a)140.0224 J b) - 140.0224 J c)- 140.0224 J

Explanation:

Work done is defined as force acting in a direction multiplied by the distance traveled in that direction. It is defined by the formula

W = F cos θ

a) the amount of work done by the gravitational force during its flight to the flat ground = mgh cosθ where θ = 0 since it is traveling downward

W = 1.60 × 8.93 × 9.8 cos0 = 140.0224 J

b) The change in the potential energy = final potential energy - initial potential energy = 0 - 140.0224 J = - 140.0224 J

c) taken  gravitational potential energy to be zero at the height and since the snow ball is travelling below it reference point, then

the value when its reached the ground = -mgh = - 140.0224 J

Two representative elements are in the same period of the periodic table. Which statement correctly describes the atoms of the t
sveticcg [70]

1) They have valence electrons in the same energy level.

2) Helium atoms have 2 valence electrons, while atoms of the other elements in the group all have 8 valence electrons.

3) cesium (Cs)

4) There are two electrons in the first energy level and seven electrons in the second energy level.

In the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number into groups and periods.

In the periodic table, we have an arrangement of atoms based on their respective groups and periods.

If I pick two representative elements in the same period, their number of valence electrons will differ by 1 but they will all be accommodated in the same energy level.

Helium is the first member of group 18. Unlike the other members of the group, its first shell is also its valence shell. It has two and not eight valence electrons like other members of the group.

The electronic configuration of Ca is [Ar] 4s², that of Li is [He] 2s1, that of Cs is [Xe] 6s1, that of Br is [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁵ and that of oxygen is [He] 2s² 2p⁴.

We can see that only Cs has  valence electrons in higher energy orbitals than those of Ca.

Lastly, Fluorine is in group 17. There are nine electrons in this atoms. They arranged in such a way that there are two electrons in the first shell and seven electrons in the second shell.
