Mg/Magnetism is the correct answer

Aluminum, and magnesium are metals. For metals, reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across the periodic table. Atomic number of Al is 13 and of Mg is 12. Hence the least reactive of these two is therefore aluminum.

Magnesium is "HIGHLY FLAMMABLE" carefully take a small piece and hit it with a torch. If its Magnesium it will "Caution, very, quickly burn.
Aluminum will not react to simple flame, it will only melt with enough direct heat.

Magnesium
==========
Atomic Number: 12
Atomic Symbol: Mg
Atomic Weight: 24.305
Electron Configuration: 2-8-2

Aluminum
========
Atomic Number: 13
Atomic Symbol: Al
Atomic Weight: 26.9815
Electron Configuration: 2-8-3

Hope this helps some. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

$a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}$

in this case we know the speed of the runner

$v =8.00\ m/s$

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

$r = 28.2\ m$

$a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2$

$a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2$

The answer is the last option

Batman (mass = 96.1 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 458 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The veloci

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat after the batman lands in it is +9.26 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Note: The collision between the Batman and the boat is an inelastic collision.

m'u'+mu = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the Batman, u' = initial velcoity of the batman, m = mass of the boat, u = initial velocity of the boat, V = common velocity.

make V the subject of equation 1

V = (m'u'+mu)/(m+m')............... Equation 2

Given: m' = 96.1 kg, u' = 0 m/s, m = 458 kg, u = +11.3 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = [(96.1×0)+(458×11.2)]/(96.1+458)

V = 5129.6/554.1

V = +9.26 m/s

Explain the difference in reactivity of the elements based on their electron configurations.

victus00 [196]

Well a basic explanation is that some elements have enough electrons to be considered stable. These elements do not need to react with other elements to gain more electrons. Reactive elements are no where near stable; they respond with other elements in order to become stable. The more unstable, the harsher the reaction is.
