Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Smaller is need for valence electrons to be borrowed or to lend more is the reactivity of an atom.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

So, it just needs one more electron in order to gain stability. Therefore, it will be highly reactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the smaller the number of electrons an atom has to borrow or to lend, the greater the activity of the atom, accurately describes properties of valence.

6.6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to theright along a horizontal, frictionless surfaceby a constant, horizontal force of

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

v = 3.04 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block, M = 6.6 Kg

horizontal force, F = 12.2 N

distance, L = 2.5 m

initial speed = 0 m/s

speed of the block,v = ?

we now

Work done is equal to change in Kinetic energy.

Work done = Force x displacement

W = Δ K E

Δ K E = Force x displacement

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2= F .s$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.6 \times v^2 - 0= 12.2\times 2.5$

3.3 v² = 30.5

v² = 9.242

v = 3.04 m/s

speed of the block is equal to 3.04 m/s

The 1.5kg ball is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 7m/s. What is the maximum height it will reach?

Temka [501]

Answer:

h = 2.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

Put all the values,

$h=\dfrac{7^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=2.5\ m$

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.

How light is channelled down an optical fibre

coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.
