You can look at groups in the same group (the columns), since they tend to have similar properties. For example, the alkali metals in group one react aggressively with water and form white compounds.

Answer:

By checking the properties of elements with the same atomic number as the unstable elements.

Explanation:

For elements that are unstable but have known number of electrons or protons, their chemistry can be inferred from the periodic table by comparing them with elements with similar number of electrons or protons.

<em>Elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are referred to as isotopes.</em> They usually have the similar properties except that they have different number of neutrons and hence, different atomic mass.

Since the number of proton determines the atomic number of elements, such element's properties can be inferred by checking the properties of elements with the same atomic number on the periodic table.

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

v=10m/sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

F_N+Fg

where

F_N =forceof the normal

Fg= force due to gravity

Generally the net force is given to be FC(force towards center)

F_C =F_N + Fg

F_N =F_C -Fg

F_N=F_C-F_g

F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg

Mathematical we can now derive V

m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}

\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}

v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}

v=10m/sec

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be v=10m/sec

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho
amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Answer:

The one in the middle

Explanation: i listened to the other person and i got it wrong, this is the answer for edge2020 sience review on energy!!!!

trust me its the middle one!!!!!

And everyone if ur not sure, like 100% sure about an answer dont answer at all cuz for 1: ur taking up a spot for others to answer. for 2: you could make people wrong. And for 3: its annoying. And 4: it makes stuff like this happen!

<u>NOT ARGUEING IM JUST PUTTING MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OUT THERE ;)</u><em> many thanks.</em>
