Answer:

2. lost two electrons.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Mg2+ + S2- --> MgS

Therefore, sulphur ion is oxidised while magnesium ion is reduced. In other words, Magnesium ion gains 2 electrons while sulphur ion loses 2 electrons.

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.

Different masses are hung on a spring scale calibrated in newtons. The force exerted by gravity on 1.0 kg is shown in the image
nekit [7.7K]

d.88 n

Explanation:

The force exerted by gravity on the mass is 88N;

Gravitational force is usually experienced by two bodies with masses.

This force causes all objects on earth to accelerate at 9.8m/s².

    Force of gravity = mass x acceleration due to gravity

In this case, the force exerted on the object by gravity will be the weight of the object.

Weight is a force applied gravity on a body:

   Weight of the masses = Force of gravity = mass x acceleration

   Given mass = 9kg

             Force of gravity = 9 x 9.8 = 88.2N approximately 88N

A man with a mass of 65.0 kg skis down a frictionless hill that is 5.00 m high. At the bottom of the hill the terrain levels out
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 4.823 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of man, m = 65.0 kg

Height of the hill, H = 5.00 m

Mass of the backpack, m' = 20.0 kg

Height of ledge, h = 2 m

Now,

To calculate the horizontal distance from the edge of the ledge:

Making use of the principle of conservation of energy both at the top and bottom of the hill (frictionless), the total mechanical energy will remain conserved.

Now,

KE_{initial} + PE_{initial} = KE_{final} + PE_{final}

where

KE = Kinetic energy

PE = Potential energy

Initially, the man starts, form rest thus the velocity at start will be zero and hence the initial Kinetic energy will also be zero.

Also, the initial potential energy will be converted into the kinetic energy thus the final potential energy will be zero.

Therefore,

0 + mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + 0

2gH = v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5} = 9.89\ m/s

where

v = velocity at the hill's bottom

Now,

Making use of the principle of conservation of momentum in order to calculate the velocity after the inclusion, v' of the backpack:

mv = (m + m')v'

65.0\times 9.89 = (65.0 + 20.0)v'

v' = 7.56\ m/s

Now, time taken for the fall:

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{9.8} = 0.638\ s

Now, the horizontal distance is given by:

x = v't = 7.56\times 0.638 = 4.823\ m
