<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.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The speed and direction of the apple is 1.448 m/s and 66.65°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of apple = 0.110 kg

Speed = 1.13 m/s

Mass of orange = 0.150 kg

Speed = 1.25 m/s

Suppose we find the final speed and direction of the apple in this case

Using conservation of momentum:

Before:

In x direction,

$P_{b}=m_{p}v_{p}-m_{o}v_{o}$

$P_{b}=0.110\times1.13-0.150\times1.25$

$P_{b}=−0.0632\ kg-m/s$

In y direction = 0

After:

$v_{ay}$ is velocity of the apple in the y direction

$v_{ax}$ is the velocity of the apple in the x direction

Momentum again:

In x direction,

$0.110\times v_{ax}+0=−0.0632$

$v_{x}=\dfrac{−0.0632}{0.110}$

$v_{x}=−0.574\ m/s$

In y-direction,

$0.110\times v_{ay}-0.150\times0.977=0$

$v_{ay}=\dfrac{0.150\times0.977}{0.110}$

$v_{ay}=1.33\ m/s$

We need to calculate the speed of apple

$v_{a}=\sqrt{(v_{x})^2+(v_{y})^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{a}=\sqrt{(−0.574)^2+(1.33)^2}$

$v_{a}=1.448\ m/s$

We need to calculate the direction of the apple

Using formula of angle

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{ay}}{v_{ax}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{1.33}{0.574})$

$\theta=66.65^{\circ}$

Hence, The speed and direction of the apple is 1.448 m/s and 66.65°.

When an objects total mechanical energy is conserved and it is dropped from rest how does the objects initial potential energy c

frozen [14]

Answer:Magnitude of potential energy before falling will be equal to the magnitude of the final kinetic energy, energy is only converted from potential to kinetic

Explanation: law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created or destroyed but Change from one form to another.so nothing will happen to the size of the potential energy when it changes to kinetic energy

The difference in the composition of the terrestrial planets and the gas giants can be explained by the different condensation

miv72 [106K]

The inner planets are usually rocky because the gravitational pull is stronger closer to the star or in this case the sun. The dust and rocky particles that are left over after a super nova or in a nebula will tend to orbit closer to a proto-star when a solar system is in its early days. In our solar system these planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Gases are less dense and will be less affected by the pull of gravity because rocky particles have more mass. The outer planets are gas giants formed from clouds of gas that would be further out in the spinning disk around a proto-star.

a crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one

prohojiy [21]

The fundamental frequency of the tube is 0.240 m long, by taking air temperature to be $37^o$ C is 367.42 Hz.

A standing wave is basically a superposition of two waves propagating opposite to each other having equal amplitude. This is the propagation in a tube.

The fundamental frequency in the tube is given by

$f=\frac{v_T}{4L}$

where, $v_T=v\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }$

Since, T=37+273 K = 310 K

v = 331 m/s

$\therefore v_T=331\sqrt{\frac{310}{273} } = 352.72 \ m/s$

Using this, we get:

$f=\frac{352.72}{4(0.240)} \\f=367.42 \ Hz$

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 367.42 Hz.
