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 1000-kg car traveling at 70 m/s takes 3 m to stop under full braking. the same car under similar road conditions, traveling at

azamat

We assume $a=const$ (acceleration is constant. We apply the equation
$v^2=v0^2+2as$ where s is the distance to stop $v=0(m/s)$ . We find the acceleration from this equation
$a=-v0^2/(2s)=-70^2/(2*3) =-816.7 (m/s^2)
$
We know the acceleration, thus we find the distance necesssary to stop when initial speed is $v=140 (m/s)$
$s=-v0^2/(2a) =140^2/(2*816.7)=12 (m)$

Suppose you have a coffee mug with a circular cross section and vertical sides (uniform radius). What is its inside radius if it

Vlad [161]

Answer:

r = 4.62 cm

Explanation:

Mass of a coffee, m = 370 g

Height of the mug, h = 5.5 cm

We need to find the inside radius of the mug. Density of an object is equal to the mass per unit volume. It can be given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{m}{\pi r^2 h}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{\pi dh}}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{370\ g}{\pi \times 1\ g/cm^3\times 5.5\ cm}}\\\\r=4.62\ cm$

So, the inside radius is 4.62 cm.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 1500 × 15

We have the final answer as
