<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>-Rubidium (Rb)</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkali metals are group 1 elements, </u></em>they have a valency of 1 and react by loosing electrons to attain a stable configuration.
  • <em><u>The reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group, this is due to the increase in the number of energy levels</u></em> which makes it easier for the valence electrons to be lost.
  • Therefore, in our case,<em><u> rubidium will be the most reactive as it contains more number of energy levels</u></em>, therefore it will loose valence electron more easily compared to the other alkali metals above it in the group.

Assume: Moving to the right is positive. A(n) 7.7 g object moving to the right at 22 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision wit
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the formula for velocity in case of elastic collision which is given below

v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁ /  (m₁ +  m₂)  + 2m₂u₂ / (m₁ +  m₂)

m₁ and u₁ is mass and velocity of first object , m₂ and  u₂ is mass and velocity of second object before collision and v₁ is velocity of first velocity after collision.

Here u₁ = 22 cm /s , u₂ = - 14 cm /s . m₁ = 7.7 gm , m₂ = 18 gm

v₁ = ( 7.7 - 18 ) x 22 / ( 7.7 + 18 )  + 2 x 18 x - 14 / ( 7.7 + 18 )

= - 8.817 - 19.6

= - 28.4 cm / s

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.

Light does not move infinitely fast but has a finite speed. We normally use ""c"" to indicate the speed of light in science. Wri
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr

Explanation:

Light is usually defined as an electromagnetic wave that is comprised of a definite wavelength. It is of both types, visible and invisible. The light emitted from a source usually travels at a speed of about 3 × 10^8 meter/sec. This speed of light is commonly represented by the letter 'C'.

To write it in the metric system, it has to be converted into miles/hour.

We know that,

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 miles = 1.6 kilometer

Now,

= \frac{3 \times\ 10^8 meter \times\ 60 sec \times\ 60 min}{1 sec \times\ 1 min \times\ 1 hr}

= 1.08 × 10^12 m/ hr (meter/hour)

= \frac{1.08 \times\ 10^{12} meter \times\ 1 km \times\ 1 miles}{1 hr \times\ 1000 meter \times\ 1.6 km}

= 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr (miles/hour)

Thus, the value for speed of light (C) in metric unit is 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr.

What would the velocity of an object be if it was on a 1.75m
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

T = 4 sec / 2 = 2 sec      period of revolution

S = 2 pi R = 2 * pi * 1.75 m = 11 m

V = S / T = 11 m / 2 sec = 5.5 m/s       speed of object
