Consider the third period of the periodic table. Which element has the smallest atomic radius?

1 answer:

3 0

According to periodic trends in the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases from left to right.

In period three, the element with the smallest atomic radius would be the element in the rightmost area. Protons increase as it goes to the right, which would mean they pull in electrons closer which decreases the size.

So in period 3, the element with the smallest atomic radius is Argon (Ar).

A stuntman of mass 48 kg is to be launched horizontally out of a spring-

Damm [24]

The velocity of the stuntman, once he has left the cannon is 5 m/s.

The right option is O A. 5 m/s

The Kinetic energy of the stuntman is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

<h3 /><h3>Velocity: </h3>

This is the ratio of displacement to time. The S.I unit of Velocity is m/s. The velocity of the stuntman can be calculated using the formula below.

⇒ Formula:

mv²/2 = ke²/2
mv² = ke².................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

m = mass of the stuntman
v = velocity of the stuntman
k = force constant of the spring
e = compression of the spring

⇒ Make v the subject of the equation

v = √(ke²/m)................. Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

m = 48 kg
k = 75 N/m
e = 4 m

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

v = √[(75×4²)/48]
v = √25
v = 5 m/s.

Hence, The velocity of the stuntman, once he has left the cannon is 5 m/s.

The right option is O A. 5 m/s

The "Garbage Project" at the University of Arizona reports that the amount of paper discarded by households per week is normally

Lorico [155]

Answer:

54%

Explanation:

We are given that

S.D=4.2 lb

Mean= $\mu=9.4 lb$

We have to find the percentage of household throw out at least 9 lb of paper a week.

Normal distribution formula :

$P(X\geq a)=P(z\geq \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})$

We have a=9

$P(X\geq 9)=P(z\geq \frac{9-9.4}{4.2})=P(z\geq -0.1)$

$P(X\geq 9)=1-P(z$

$P(X\geq 9)=1-0.4602=0.5398\times 100=54$ %

Hence, the percentage of household throw out at least of paper a week=54%

A 0.50-g sample of vegetable oil is placed in a calorimeter. when the sample is burned, 18.9 kj is given off. what is the energy

just olya [345]

First of all, we need to convert the energy produced from kilojoules to calories. 1 kJ corresponds to 239.1 cal, therefore:

$E=18.9 kJ \cdot 239.1 =4519.4 cal$

And so now we can calculate the energy value of the oil:

$E_v = \frac{E}{m}=\frac{4519.4 cal}{0.50 g}=9038.8 cal/g$

A player hits a ball with a bat. The action is the force of the bat against the ball.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a player hits a ball with a bat, the force the player exerted on the ball through the bat gave the ball a push force in the forward direction.
