A ball is thrown in the air. The ball goes up, then changes direction and falls down. Why does the ball fall down?

1 answer:

7 0

So the acceleration has actually slowed down the ball because it was going in the direction opposite the velocity. Now see what happens as the ball falls back down to Earth. The ball has zero velocity, but the acceleration due to gravity accelerates the ball downward at a rate of –9.8 m/s2.

hope it helps

At which of the following temperatures does all molecular motion stop

Kamila [148]

All molecular motion stop at 0 k wich is zero kelvin. At absolute 0 it stops. The temperature of 0 entropy at which all molecular motion stops equals in centigrades to -273.15° C which is the same as 0 in kelvin degrees. Have in mind that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a material.

For the 52nd electron must pair with one of the electrons in the 5p orbital.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, however, the element that has 52 electrons only is Tellurium (Te) and when the electronic configuration of elements with more than 52 electrons are written, the 52nd electron is indicated/paired the same way the 52nd electron of Te is indicated/paired. Hence, while writing the electronic configuration of Te, it is written as

[Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ where [Kr] is the electronic configuration of krypton. Based on this, we can deduce that the 52nd electron will be in the first orbital of the P subshell (as attached in the picture). This is because when indicating the electrons in the subshell, one electron will be spread across each orbital and if any electron is still remaining, it will be added starting from to the first orbital of the subshell, however no two electrons in an orbital in a subshell can have the same spin and hence must face opposite direction based on pauli's exclusion principle (as seen in attached); thus for the 5p-orbital of elements with 52 or more electrons, when one electron each is represented in each box (3 boxes in total) in the 5p-orbital, the remaining electron is paired with the the first electron in the first box of the 5p-orbital
