Salt water offers the least electrical resistance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Least electrical resistance indicates that any material which readily allows the electric current through itself, and shows more conductivity.

Here pure water doesn't contain any ions, so it is a bad conductor.

Wood and glass are also bad conductors of electricity.

Salt water contains ions, which conducts electricity which means it shows least electrical resistance.

Two protons are aimed directly toward each other by a cyclotron accelerator with speeds of 1200 km/s , measured relative to the

Radda [10]

Answer:

The maximum electrical force is $2.512\times10^{-2}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cyclotron = 1200 km/s

Initially the two protons are having kinetic energy given by

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

When they come to the closest distance the total kinetic energy is converts into potential energy given by

Using conservation of energy

$mv^2=\dfrac{kq^2}{r}$

$r=\dfrac{kq^2}{mv^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\dfrac{8.99\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times10^{-27}\times(1200\times10^{3})^2}$

$r=9.57\times10^{-14}\ m$

We need to calculate the maximum electrical force

Using formula of force

$F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$F=\dfrac{8.99\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{(9.57\times10^{-14})^2}$

$F=2.512\times10^{-2}\ N$

Hence, The maximum electrical force is $2.512\times10^{-2}\ N$ .

A pendulum is used in a large clock. The pendulum has a mass of 2 kg. If the pendulum is moving at a speed of 2.9 m/s when it re

Rufina [12.5K]

This is a classic example of conservation of energy. Assuming that there are no losses due to friction with air we'll proceed by saying that the total energy mus be conserved.
$E_m=E_k+E_p$
Now having information on the speed at the lowest point we can say that the energy of the system at this point is purely kinetic:
$E_m=Ek=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$
Where m is the mass of the pendulum. Because of conservation of energy, the total energy at maximum height won't change, but at this point the energy will be purely potential energy instead.
$E_m=E_p$
This is the part where we exploit the Energy's conservation, I'm really insisting on this fact right here but it's very very important, The totam energy Em was
$E_M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$
It hasn't changed! So inserting this into the equation relating the total energy at the highest point we'll have:
$E_p=mgh=E_m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$
Solving for h gives us:
$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}.$
It doesn't depend on mass!

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal

Juli2301 [7.4K]

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.
