This would be more of a chemistry question. Remember magnesium has a charge of 2+, and would need to hand off its two extra electrons. Fluorine can only take one electron at a time, so there needs to be two fluorines to take one magnesium's 2 electrons. 

With lithium, it has a +1 charge, so it has one extra electron, which it can hand off to just 1 fluorine atom. 

Another way of looking at this is: Mg^{2+} + 2F^{-} = MgF2  (the charges must balance out to zero)

Li^{+} + F^{-} = LiF (the charges balance out to zero)

In the second 30 mins, the speed should be 20 + 1.5 = 21.5 km/h

So S = 21.5 * 30/60 = 10.75 km

At the same instant that a 0.50-kg ball is dropped from 25 m above Earth, a second ball, with a mass of 0.25 kg, is thrown strai
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

Explanation:

<u>Motion of 0.50 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height = 25 m

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 0 x 2 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 19.62 m

Height above ground = 25 - 19.62 = 5.38 m

<u>Motion of 0.25 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 15 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 15 x 2 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 10.38 m

Height above ground = 10.38 m

We have equation for center of gravity

          \bar{x}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

          m₁ = 0.50 kg

          x₁ = 5.38 m        

          m₂ = 0.25 kg

          x₂ = 10.38 m    

Substituting

         \bar{x}=\frac{0.50\times 5.38+0.25\times 10.38}{0.50+0.25}=7.05m

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.
