An element is made up of?

When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements are made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure"

Hey there!

An element is a substance made up only and entirely of one particular atom.

In fact- that's what makes an element an element. It's only made of one type of atom, and that's what makes it a singular substance that's used in the production of other substances.

If it had different types of atoms, it wouldn't be that singular element. The elements we have on the periodic table are the types of atoms and elements we know in order of atomic number. We know the most prominent, least prominent, and so on- but all of these elements are scattered throughout the world.

For example, steel is not an element- or a compound. It's an alloy, it's made of several different types of metals, each can be made of other types of metals, and when you go down to what those metals are made of- you get that one substance that's made up of one singular atom- an element.

Hope this helps!

A house is advertised as having 1560 square feet under roof. What is the area of this house in square meters?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1 m = 3.28 ft

1 m^2 = 10.76 ft^2

1560 ft^2 / 10.76 ft^2 / m^2 = 145 m^2

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Polarization In this case angle of incidence is not equal to angle of polarization, hence reflected light is partially polarized and transmitted light is also partially polarized. by reflection is explained by Brewster's law,

According to this when unpolarized light incident on glass plate at an angle is called as angle of polarizing the reflected light is plane polarized, and transmitted light is partially polarized. The plane of vibration of polarized light is having plane of vibrations perpendicular to plane of incidence.

I may be wrong but does it mean it was revent? because i know shortly after someone dies your body becomes fully stiff so maybe it was recent and it's in the process off stiffening up

A stuntman with a mass of 80.5 kg swings across a moat from a rope that is 11.5 m. At the bottom of the swing the stuntman's spe

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

No
5.49 m/s

Explanation:

The net force required to accelerate the stuntman in a circular arc of radius 11.5 m will be ...

F = mv²/r . . . . where this m is the mass being accelerated, v is the tangential velocity, and r is the radius.

Here, the net force needs to be ...

F = (80.5 kg)(8.45 m/s)²/(11.5 m) . . . . . where this m is meters

≈ 499.8175 kg·m/s² = 499.8 N

Gravity exerts a force on the stuntman of ...

F = mg = (80.5 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 788.9 kg·m/s² = 788.9 N

Then the tension required in the rope/vine is ...

499.8 N+788.9 N= 1288.7 N

This is more than the capacity of the rope, so we do not expect the stuntman to make it across the moat.

_____

The allowed net force for centripetal acceleration is ...

1000 N -788.9 N = 211.1 N

Then the allowed velocity is ...

211.1 = 80.5v²/11.5

30.16 = v² . . . . multiply by 11.5/80.5

5.49 = v . . . . . . take the square root

The maximum speed the stuntman can have is 5.49 m/s.

_____

Comment on crossing the moat

The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing translates to potential energy at the end of the swing. At the lower speed, the stuntman cannot rise as high, so will traverse a shorter arc. At 8.45 m/s, the moat could be about 16.8 m wide; at 5.49 m/s, it can only be about 11.5 m wide.
