An element is highly conductive, highly reactive, soft, and lustrous. The element most likely belongs to which group?(1 point)

UkoKoshka [18]

An element which is highly conductive, highly reactive, soft, and lustrous is most likely an alkali metal.

Alkali metals are in group 1 of the Periodic table which means that they have only a single valence electron.

This causes them to be soft and highly reactive because:

The single valance electron leads to weak bonds amongst the element's atoms which makes them soft
The elements want to lose the single valance electron so as to become stable so they will react with other elements to give away the electron.

Examples of alkali electrons include:

Lithium
Sodium
Potassium etc

In conclusion therefore, alkali metals are highly reactive and soft and so the element described above is most likely an alkali metal.

A sock stuck to the inside of the clothes dryer spins around the drum once every 2.0 s at a distance of 0.50 m from the center o

Rashid [163]

a) 1.57 m/s

The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is

T = 2.0 s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2.0}=3.14 rad/s$

The linear speed of the sock is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock

Substituting, we find:

$v=(3.14)(0.50)=1.57 m/s$

B) Faster

In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:

$r' = 2r = 1.00 m$

At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:

$\omega' = \omega = 3.14 rad/s$

Therefore, the new linear speed would be:

$v'=\omega' r' = \omega (2r)$

And substituting,

$v'=(3.14)(1.00)=3.14 rad/s = 2v$

So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.

MamaMia's Pizza purchases its pizza delivery boxes from a printing supplier. MamaMia's delivers on-average 200 pizzas each month

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a) 138 units

b) 17 units

c) 17 units

d) Total Cost = $353.35

Explanation:

Given:

Average pizzas delivered = 200

Charge of inventory holding = 30% of cost

Lead time = 7 days

Now,

a) Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{Annual Demand}\times\textup{Cost per Order}}{\textup{Carrying cost}}$

also,

Annual Demand = 200 × 12 = 2400

Cost per Order = Cost of Box + Processing Costs

= 30 cents + $10

= $10.30

and, Carrying Cost = $\frac{\textup{Total Inventory Cost}}{\textup{total annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\textup{Total Cost per order}\times\textup{Annual demand}\times\frac{25}{100}}{\textup{Annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\$10.30\times2400}\times\frac{25}{100}}{2400}$

= $2.575

Therefore,

Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{2400}\times\textup{10.30}}{\textup{2.575}}$

= 138.56 ≈ 138 units

b) Reorder Point

= (average daily unit sales × the lead time in days) + safety stock

= ( $\frac{200}{30}\times7$

= 46.67 ≈ 47 units

c) Number of orders per year = $\frac{\textup{Annual Demand}}{\textup{Economic order quantity}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2400}}{\textup{138}}$

= 17.39 ≈ 17 units

d) Total Annual Cost (Total Inventory Cost)

= Ordering Cost + Holding Cost

Now,

The ordering Cost = Cost per Order × Total Number of orders per year

= $10.30 × 17

= $175.1

and,

Holding Cost = Average Inventory Held × Carrying Cost per unit

Average Inventory Held = $\frac{\textup{0+138}}{\textup{2}}$ = 69

Carrying Cost per unit = $2.575

Holding Cost = 69 × $2.575 =

$177.675

Therefore,

Total Cost = Ordering Cost + carrying cost

= $175.1 + $177.675 = $353.35

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 36 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 36t − 16t2. fi

Juliette [100K]

Height (y) = 36t - 16t^2, where t = time in seconds (s).
Our height (y) after 1s = 36(1) - 16(1)^2
y = 36 - 16 = 20 ft
So it reached a height of 20 ft during that 1 second, which means that at that 1 second it had a velocity of 20ft/s, since v = d(distance)/t = 20ft/1s
