Explanation:

It is known that both sodium (Na) and cesium (Cs) are group 1 elements. This group is also known as alkali metal group.

Both Na and Cs has one valence electron but size of cesium is much larger than the size of sodium.

This means that larger is the size of atom farther away will be the valence electron(s) from the nucleus. Hence, there will be very less or no force of attraction between the nucleus and valence shell.

Therefore, it will be much easy for a larger atom to lose its valence electron. So, the atom will become more reactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that Cs is more reactive than sodium metal.

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 8.2Ã10^3 m/s in a direction 87Â° from the direction of th

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.042 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of charged particle, $v=8.2\times 10^3\ m/s$

Angle between velocity and the magnetic field, $\theta=87$

Charge, $q=5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Magnetic force, F = 0.002 N

The magnetic force is given by :

$F=qvB\ sin\theta$

B is the magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ sin\theta}$

$B=\dfrac{0.002}{5.7\times 10^{-6}\times 8.2\times 10^3\times sin(87)}$

B = 0.042 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.042 Tesla. Hence, this is the required solution.

A block starting from rest slides down the length of an 18 plank with an acceleration of 4.0 meters per second. How long does th

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{\sf \Large 3.0 s}}$

Explanation:

Use distance formula

$\displaystyle d=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$u= \text{\sf initial velocity}\\d= \text{\sf distance}\\a= \text{\sf acceleration}\\t= \text{\sf time taken}$

$\displaystyle 18=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^2$

$t=3$

In which phase of mitosis are chromosome first seen as a result of chromatin coiling?

Kruka [31]

<span>Mitosis is a a means for cells to split and produce exact copies of themselves. The process produces two identical copies of the original cell and occurs throughout the human body. Mitosis is divided up into four main phases known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The chromosomes first become visible in early prophase.</span>

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan

sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

$Q = ms \Delta T$

$Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)$

$Q = 1*s*230$

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

$Q = ms'\Delta T$

$1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T$

now we have

$\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230$

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>
