Answer:

D. Metallic atoms have valence shells that are mostly empty, which

means these atoms are more likely to give up electrons and allow

them to move freely.

Explanation:

Metals usually contain very few electrons in their valence shells hence they easily give up these few valence electrons to yield metal cations.

In the metallic bond, metal cations are held together by electrostatic attraction between the metal ions and a sea of mobile electrons.

Since metals give up their electrons easily, it is very easy for them to participate in metallic bonding. They give up their electrons easily because their valence shells are mostly empty, metal valence shells usually contain only a few electrons.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A) 0.9844 s

B) x2 = 0.4587 m

C) v = 6.657 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Height of take off point above pool; x1 = 1.8 m

Initial take off velocity; u = 3 m/s

Final velocity at highest point before free fall; v = 0 m/s

B) To find the highest point above the board her feet reaches means the distance from take off to the top of the motion just before free fall.

Thus, we will be using equation of motion and we have;

v² = u² + 2gs

Now, let s = x2 which will be the distance between take off and the top before free fall.

So;

v² = u² + 2g(x2)

Now,since the motion is against gravity, g will be negative.

Thus;

v² = u² + 2(-9.81)(x2)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

0² = 3² - (19.62x2)

19.62(x2) = 9

x2 = 9/19.62

x2 = 0.4587 m

A) We want to find how long her feet is in air.. It means we want to find out the time to get to a distance of x1 and also the time to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall.

Thus, using equation of motion;

v = u + gt

Again, g = -9.81

Thus;

0 = 3 - 9.81t1

9.81t1 = 3

t1 = 3/9.81

t1 = 0.3058 s

Now, for the time taken to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall, we will use the formula;

s = ut + ½gt²

Where s = (x1 + x2) = 1.8 + 0.4587 = 2.2587 m

And now, u = 0 m/s because the start of the free fall is from maximum height with velocity of 0 m/s. Again, g = - 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

2.2587 = 0 - ½(-9.81)(t2)²

2.2587 = 4.905(t2)²

(t2)² = 2.2587/4.905

(t2)² = 0.4605

t2 = √0.4605

t2 = 0.6786 s

Thus, total time of feet in air = t1 + t2 = 0.3058 + 0.6786 = 0.9844 s

C) Velocity when feet hit the water would be given by;

v = u + gt

Where u = 0 m/s and t = t2 = 0.6786

Since it's in direction of gravity, g = 9.81 m/s

v = 0 + (0.6786 × 9.81)

v = 6.657 m/s

The energies of electrons are said to be quantized. Explain what this means. please explain.

sleet_krkn [62]

To move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy. Electrons are said to be quantized because they need a quantum of energy to move to a different sublevel. ... When atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels.
