Elements in a period have _____________.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

What determines gravitational pull

krok68 [10]

Answer

Remember that the net force on you determines how your motion changes. The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. The Mass of the Objects The more mass two objects have, the greater. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other.

You must exert a force of 4.5 N on a book to slide it across a table. If you do 2.7J

hoa [83]

Answer: 0.6m

Explanation:

Given that:

force = 4.5 N

Work done = 2.7J

Distance moved by the book = ?

Since work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance, apply the formula:

work = force x distance

2.7J = 4.5N x distance

Distance = (2.7J / 4.5N)

Distance = 0.6 m

Thus, the book was moved 0.6 metres far

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the

erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48Â° was measured from.
You didn't mention if the angle of 48Â° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.
Since we need a torque of 55 NÂ·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 NÂ·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.
Ideally, the force will have a 0Â° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0Â° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".
If the angle of 48Â° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:
U = F*cos(48)
where
U = Useful force
F = Force applied
So solving for F and calculating gives:
U = F*cos(48)
U/cos(48) = F
117 N/0.669130606 = F
174.8537563 N = F
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.
If the 48Â° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90Â° - 48Â° = 42Â° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get
U/cos(42) = F
117/0.743144825 = F
157.4390294 = F
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

Define the law of universal gravitation in your own words.

Firdavs [7]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers
