In accordance with the International Regulation for the prevention of collisions at sea:

1.- A sailing boat has a passing preference over a motorized boat, except when the motor boat is limited by its draft.

2.- The sailboat must maintain its course and speed.

3.- If it is evident that the PWC does not respond, the sailboat must sound the warning signal, and change its course to starboard.

4.- All actions must be taken as soon as possible.

5.- If a sailboat is using its engine, the situation changes, and in that case, both ships must alter to starboard.

It would be really helpful if u help me solving this question. PLEASE!!!

Answer: The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

The room temperature will be the point at which the themometric substance remains constant when rising from ice point.

Explanation:

Apparatus available:

Unmarked thermometer

250 cm3 glass beaker

crushed ice

water

heatproof mat

clamp, boss and stand

meter rule

Added apparatus

Bunsen burner

Stirrer

Method

The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

Procedures

Set up the apparatus of illustrated in the attached figure.

Immerse the unmarked thermometer into the ice in the beaker.

When the level indicated by the thermometric substance remains steady after some time, a mark will be made at that point. This mark will corresponds to the ice point (lower fixed point) and is assigned the value of 0 °C.

You may add little water and continue to stir gently.

The themometric substance will start to rise and stop when it reaches room temperature. Mark the point but do not assign any value

Place the beaker on bunsen burner and boil the water. The themometric substance will continue to rise and remain constant at upper fixed point

This mark will corresponds to the steam point (upper fixed point) and is assigned the value of 100 °C.

Divide between the lower fixed point and upper fixed point into equal intervals. Then you can see the value of room temperature.

The muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet is 709 m s−1along the direction of motion. If the bullet weighs 35 g, and the uncertainty

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Uncertainty in position of the bullet is $\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 35 g = 0.035 kg

Velocity of bullet, v = 709 m/s

The uncertainty in momentum is 0.20%. The momentum of the bullet is given by :

$p=mv$

$p=0.035\times 709=24.81\ kg-m/s$

Uncertainty in momentum is,

$\Delta p=0.2\%\ of\ 24.81$

$\Delta p=0.049$

We need to find the uncertainty in position. It can be calculated using Heisenberg uncertainty principal as :

$\Delta p.\Delta x\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta p}$

$\Delta x=\dfrac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 0.049}$

$\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the fourth period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negati

Murrr4er [49]

Electron configurations:

Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell

Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell

Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell

The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.

The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.

Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).

Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.

Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.
