Because there is no scientifically credible evidence that the positions of the stars have any effect on the future.

What is an easy way to balance chemical equations?

Lorico [155]

write out what you have on both sides, then just use basic multiplication to try and even out both sides. I can help if you need me to balance some for you!!

During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel? Use the formula =1/2 *

marta [7]

Distance fallen = 1/2 ( V initial + V final ) *t
We know
a = -9.8 m/s2
t=120s

To find distance fallen, we need to find V final
Use the equation
V final = V initial + a*t
Substitute known values
V final = 0 + (-9.8)(120)
V final = -1176 m/s

Then plug known values to distance fallen equation
Distance fallen = 1/2 ( 0 + 1176 )(120)
= 1/2(1776)(120)
=106,560 m

This way plugging into distance equation is actually the long way. A faster way is to plug the values into
Distance fallen = V initial * t + 1/2(a*t)
We won't need to find V final using another equation.

But anyways, good luck!

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz. Find the possible range of wavelengths in ai

taurus [48]

Answer:

The possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

To find,

The wavelength range for the corresponding frequency.

Solution,

The speed of sound is given by the following relation as :

$v=f_1\lambda_1$

Wavelength for f = 45 Hz is,

$\lambda_1=\dfrac{v}{f_1}$

$\lambda_1=\dfrac{343}{45}=7.62\ m$

Wavelength for f = 375 Hz is,

$\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{f_2}$

$\lambda_2=\dfrac{343}{375}=0.914\ m/s$

So, the possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

The periodic table is an arrangment of the chemical elements, ordered by atomic number, into families, and by doing so illustrat

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Option B) reactive to nonreactive

Explanation:

A) Solid to gas

This might apply, because most of the gases are to the right portion of the periodic table

There are just a few elements that are gases at room temperature; a total of 11: six noble gases (group 18), two halogens (group 17), oxygen (group 16), nitrogen (group 15), and hydrogen (group 1).

Hydrogen is an exception to this trend because they are in the left part of the periodic table.

B) Reactive to nonreactive

The most reactive metals are in group 1 (alkali metals) and the most reactive nonmentals are in the group 18 (halogens). Hence, it is false that the from left to right the preperties go from reactive to nonreactive.

Hence, this is the one that cannot apply.

C) Metal to metalloid to nonmetal

It is true that the metallic character of the elements decreases from left to right; the metals are to the left, going to the right you find some metalloids, and further to the right you find the nonmetals.

Hence, this trend is correct.

D) Increasing number of outer-shell electrons

The number of outer-shell electrons definetly increase from left to right.

The number of electrons in neutral atoms equals the number of protons (to balance the positive and negative charges). Since, the atomic number (the number of protons) increase from left to right, the number of electrons also increase.

In a period (a row of the periodic table) the electrons add to the same outer-shell, then you will find that the number of electrons of the outer-shell increase from left to right. Hence, this is also a correct trend.

In conclusion, the only trend that does not apply is the described by the option B).

How to use unbalanced forces in a sentence

Forces occur in pairs and can be either balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. Unbalanced Forces do cause a change in motion.
