Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict th

at xenon will be more reactive than iodine.” Is Lorenzo correct? If so, why? If not, explain his error.

That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.

<span>Lorenzo is not correct. Nonmetals increase in reactivity from left to right because nonmetals on the right have more valence electrons. They need to gain fewer electrons to have a full outer shell. However, this trend only continues until group 17, because the noble gases already have a full outer shell. Therefore, their reactivity is the least of all the elements.</span>

Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude
otez555 [7]
The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

A spring with spring constant 450 N/m is stretched by 12 cm. What distance is required to double the amount of potential energy
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Explanation:

Hook's Law

From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring

E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1

making e the subject of the equation,

e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2

Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.

Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²

E = 225(0.12)²

E = 3.24 J.

When the potential energy is doubled,

I.e E = 2×3.24

E = 6.48 J.

Substituting into equation 2,

e = √(2×6.48/450)

e = √0.0288

e = 0.1697 m

<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>

<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>

Two parallel plates of area 2.34*10-3 M2 have 7.07*10-7C of charge placed on them. A6.62*10-5C charge q1 is placed between the p
ira [324]

Answer:

The force exerted on the q_1 is  F =  2.25*10^{3} \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The area is  A =  2.34*10^{-3} \ m^2

     The magnitude of charge placed on them is  q =  7.07 * 10^{-7} C

     The charge placed between the plate is q_1 = 6.62 *10^{-5} C

   

The electric field generated around the plate  is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{A \epsilon_o}

Substituting values

          E =  \frac{7.07*10^{-7}}{2.34*10^{-3} * 8.85 *10^{-12}}

         E = 34*10^{6} \ V/m

The force exerted the charge q_1 is  mathematically represented as

        F =  q_1 * E

Substituting values  

        F =  6.62 *10^{-5} * 34*10^{6}

        F =  2.25*10^{3} \ N

A baseball player throws a baseball at a speed of 40 meters per second at an angle of 30 degrees. What is the velocity of projec
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is the cosine of 30 degrees multiplied by 40m/s. The cosine of 30 degrees is the 0.8660 . To get the speed, multiply by 40m/s. This equals 34.64, which is approximately 35m/s.

Hope it helpss :)

<h3>Question 1</h3>

Answer

option C) velocity

Explanation

acceleration =  Δv ÷ Δt

<h3>Question 2</h3>

Answer

option C) m/s²

Explanation

Δv ÷ Δt

= m/s ÷ s

= m/s x 1/s

= m/s²

<h3>Question 3</h3>

Answer

option B) velocity has both direction and speed.

That is why velocity can be negative but speed can not and velocity is rate of change of displacement where as speed is rate of change of distance.
