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.

The position of a particle as it moves along an y axis is given by y = (2.0cm)sin(πt/4), with t in second and y in centimeters.

irina [24]

Part a)

At t = 0 the position of the object is given as

$x = 0$

At t = 2

$x = 2 sin(\pi/2) = 2cm$

so displacement of the object is given as

$d = 2 - 0 = 2cm$

so average speed is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 cm/s$

Part b)

instantaneous speed is given by

$v = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v = 2cos(\pi t/4 ) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

now at t= 0

$v = \frac{\pi}{2} cm/s$

at t = 1

$v = 2 cos(\pi/4) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

$v = \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt2}$

at t = 2

$v = 0$

Part c)

Average acceleration is given as

$a_{avg} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a_{avg} = \frac{0 - \frac{\pi}{2}}{2}$

$a = -\frac{\pi}{4} cm/s^2$

Part d)

Now for instantaneous acceleration

As we know that

$a =- \omega^2 y$

at t = 0

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16} * 0 = 0 cm/s^2$

at t = 1

$y = \sqrt2 cm$

now we have

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*\sqrt2$

At t = 2 we have

$y = 2 cm$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*2$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{8}$

<em>so above is the instantaneous accelerations</em>

An airplane flying at 115 m/s due east makes a gradual turn following a circular path to fly south. The turn takes 15 seconds to

bulgar [2K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Centripetal and Perimeter acceleration of a circle.

The perimeter of a circle is defined by

$P = 2\pi r$

Where,

r= radius

While centripetal acceleration is defined by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where,

v= velocity

r= radius

PART A)

The distance of a body can be defined based on the speed and the time traveled, that is

x = v*t

For our values the distance is equal to

x = 15*115=1725m

The plane when going to make the turn from east to south makes a quarter of the circumference that is

$\frac{P}{4} = \frac{2\pi r}{4}$

The same route you take is the distance traveled, that is

$x = \frac{P}{4}$

$x = \frac{2\pi r}{4}$

$1725 = \frac{2\pi r}{4}$

$r = 1098.17m$

PART B)

With the radius is possible calculate he centripetal acceleration,

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a = \frac{115^2}{1098.17}$

$a = 12.04m/s^2$

Therefore the radius of the curva that the plane follows in making the turn is 1098.17m with a centripetal acceleration of $12.04m/s^2$
