Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

Potassium is in Group 1 and Period 4 of the Periodic Table.

Group 1 elements are called alkali metals.

In general, alkali metals have the following physical properties:

  • Silvery white
  • Soft enough to cut with a knife
  • Relatively low melting points
  • Good conductors of heat and electricity.

Their most obvious chemical properties are that they are highly reactive.

They react with atmospheric oxygen to form a dull coating of the metal oxide.

They all react with water to form hydrogen and a basic metal hydroxide.

The reaction of potassium with water (below) is quite vigorous.

(Serway 9th ed., 9-3) At one instant, a 17.5-kg sled is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 3.50 m/s. After 8.75 sec has
Scrat [10]

Answer:

F = 7 N

Explanation:

given,                                

mass of sled = 17.5 Kg                                    

speed of snow on horizontal surface = 3.5 m/s

time taken to stop = 8.75 s

initial momentum              

  = m U                              

 = 17.5 x 3.5 = 61.25 Kg.m/s

final momentum                        

final velocity = 0 m/s            

final momentum = 0                    

impulse = change in momentum

impulse = force x time    

equating both the formula of impluse    

F x t = 61.25 - 0

F x 8.75 = 61.25            

F = 7 N                                                

Force acting on the moving sled is equal to F = 7 N

A student throws a ball upward with a velocity of 35 m/s. What is the acceleration of the ball as it rises to the top of its arc
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball as it rises to the top of its arc equals 9.807 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that maximum height of the arc is so small in comparison with the radius of the Earth.

Since the ball is launched upwards, then the ball experiments a free-fall motion, that is, an uniform accelerated motion in which the element is accelerated by gravity. Then, the acceleration experimented by the motion remains constant at every instant and position.

Besides, the gravitational acceleration in the Earth and, in consequence, the acceleration of the ball as it rises to the top of its arc equals 9.807 meters per square second.

A powerful missile reaches a speed of 5 kilometers per second in 10 seconds after its launch. What is the average acceleration o
bixtya [17]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

5 Km=5000m

so Δv=5000 m/sec

a=Δv/Δt

=5000/10

a=500 m/sec²                 as 500÷1000=0.5 Km

a=0.5 km/sec²

so D is the right answer.

To determine athletes body fat, there are weighed first in air and then again while they are completely underwater. It is found
rodikova [14]

Answer:

1065 Kgm-3

Explanation:

We can determine the relative density of the athlete from the formula;

Relative density of athlete = weight of athlete in air/upthrust on athlete

Since weight of athlete in air= 690 N

Weight of athlete in water = 42 N

Upthrust on athlete= weight in air - weight in water

Upthrust on athlete= 690 N - 42 N = 648 N

Relative density of athlete= 690 N / 648 N

Relative density of athlete= 1.065

Therefore, average density of the athlete= relative density × density of water = 1.065 × 1000 Kgm-3 = 1065 Kgm-3
