The correct answer is Sodium

Answer:

sodium (Na)

Explanation:

The valence electron configuration of the given elements are as follows:

Sodium (Na) = 3s¹

Boron (B) = 2s²2p¹

Magnesium (Mg) = 3s²

Lithium (Li) = 2s¹

The valence electron configuration of beryllium (Be) = 2s²

The outer shell in Na is 3s i.e. n = 3 relative to that of Be where n = 2

Also the valence shell in Na has 1 s electron i.e. one electron lower than Be.

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

You are sitting on a merry-go-round of mass 200 kg and radius 2m that is at rest (not spinning). Your mass is 50 kg. Your friend
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a.\tau=200J b.\alpha=0.44 \frac{rad}{s^2} c. \alpha=0.33\frac{rad}{s^2} d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger.

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the torque is given by \tau=rF\sin \theta, being r the radius, F the force aplied and \theta the angle between the vector force and the vector radius. Since \theta=90^{\circ}, \, \sin\theta=1 and so \tau=rF=2m100N=200Nm=200J.

b. Since the relation \tau=I\alpha hols, being I the moment of inertia, the angular acceleration can be calculated by \alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}. Since we have already calculated the torque, all left is calculate the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about an axis that passes through its center is I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2, being M the mass of the disk. If we assume that a person has a punctual mass, the moment of inertia of a person would be given by I_p=m_pr_p^{2}, being m_p the mass of the person and r_p^{2} the distance from the person to the center. Given all of this, we have

\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{\tau}{I_{disk}+I_{person}}=\frac{Fr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+m_pr_p^{2}}=\frac{200Nm}{\frac{1}{2}200kg*4m^2+50kg*1m^2}=\frac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{450Nm^2}\approx 0.44\frac{rad}{s^2}.

c. Similar equation to b, but changing r_p=2m, so

alpha=\dfrac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{\frac{1}{2}200*4kg\,m^2+50*4 kg\,m^2}=\dfrac{200}{600}\dfrac{1}{s^2}\approx 0.33 \frac{rad}{s^2}.

d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger because the moment of inertia of the person is smaller, meaning that the person has less inertia to rotate.

How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?
lidiya [134]
Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.

A downhill skier was able to move 560 meters in 25 seconds. What is the skier’s average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest
anastassius [24]
The average speed of a moving body is given by:
average speed = total distance / total time
average speed = 560 / 25
22.4 meters per second

The skier is traveling at an average velocity of 22.4 meters per second.
