Atomic size decreases across a period due to an increase in the effective nuclear charge. true or false

Answer: True

Explanation:

Along a period from left to right the atomic size decreases because all the electrons are subsequently added to the same shell, also the equal no. of protons are added to the nucleus leading to the increase in the net effective nuclear charge at the constant distance. This leads to the increase in the force of attraction between the (opposite) charged particles which shrinks the atomic size.

Answer:

The force is $F = 3920 \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The weight of the gate is $G = 100\ kg$

The vertical component of F is $F_y = F\ sin \theta$

From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have

$W_g * 2 - F_y * 1 = 0$

Where $W_g$ is the weight of the gate evaluated as

$W_g = m_g * g = 100 * 9.8 = 980 \ N$

=> $980 * 2 - Fsin(30) * 1 = 0$

=> $F = \frac{1960}{sin(30)}$

=> $F = 3920 \ N$

Help me find the acceleration

ANEK [815]

a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the timeless suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the timeless suvat equation,

$a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}$

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the car;
$v$ is the final velocity of the car;
$u$ is the initial velocity of the car; and
$x$ is the displacement of the car.

Note that v and u are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

$a$ is the unknown;
$v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ ;
$u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ ; and
$x = - 105 \; \text{m}$ .

Apply the timeless suvat equation:

$a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ .

The value of $a$ is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.

Research the potential for a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon. What are two of the biggest concerns with a large earthqu

Sphinxa [80]

There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.
