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: $Mg^{2+}$ + 2 $F^{-}$ = MgF2 (the charges must balance out to zero)

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

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?

kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that total distance that man moved is

$d_1 = 200 km$

$d_2 = 100 km$

so total distance is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 200 km + 100 km$

$d = 300 km$

now here total time of the motion is

$t_1 = 6 hours$

$t_2 = 4 hours$

total time will be given as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

$t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours$

now by above formula

$v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 30 km/h$

so his average speed is 30 km/h

What is the net force exerted on a 28.8 kg shopping cart that accelerates at a rate of 2.88 m/s^2?

Mama L [17]

Answer:

<h2>82.94 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 28.8 × 2.88 = 82.944

We have the final answer as

<h3>82.94 N</h3>

Answer:

$\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

$r = 12.0 \mu m$

Volume of the pollen is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3$

$V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3$

mass of the pollen is given as

$m = \rho V$

$m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}$

so weight of the pollen is given as

$W = mg$

$W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)$

$W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}$

Now electric force on the pollen is given

$F = qE$

$F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)$

$F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N$

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

$\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}$

$\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}$
