Answer:

An electron in the third shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell and An electron in the first shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell.

Explanation:

Calcium has 20 electrons.
Calcium does not "borrow" electrons. Calcium "donates" 2 electrons.
Calcium ion (Ca2+) has 18 electron
Calcium has 2 valence electrons.
The element Ca, so calcium, has 20 electrons (so it also has 20 protons) this means that it has 2 electrons in its outer orbit, its relative atomic mass is 40.

An object of known mass M with speed v0 travels toward a wall. The object collides with it and bounces away from the wall in the

Bingel [31]

Neither side of the equation may be used because there are too many unknown quantities before, during, and after the collision

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision:

$\Delta p = F \Delta t$

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

F is the average force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

In this problem, neither side of the equation can be used to measure the change in momentum. In fact:

- The change in momentum (left side) is given by

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

Here the final velocity is not known, so it's not possible to use this side of the equation

- The impulse (right side) is given by

$F\Delta t$

here the average force is known, however the duration of the collision is not known, so it's not possible to use this side of the equation.

The brachialis attaches to the forearm .035 m from the elbow at an angle of 32 deg. If the brachialis produces 750 N of force, w

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$XY=636N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance $d=0.35m$

Angle $\theta=32\textdegree$

Force $F=750N$

Generally the equation for magnitude of the stabilizing component of the brachialis force is mathematically given by

$XY=Fcos\theta$

$XY=750cos 32\textdegree$

$XY=636N$

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast

krok68 [10]

Answer: 1.9 m/s

Explanation:

The question should be:

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast will the green fish swim after eating the orange fish?

Ok, here we have conservation of momentum.

At the beginning, the total momentum is equal to the sum between the momentum of the green fish and the momentum of the orange fish.

Where the momentum is written as:

P = m*v

m = mass

v = velocity.

The momentum of the green fish is:

Pg = 20kg*2m/s = 40 kg*m/s.

The momentum of the orange fish is:

Po = 1kg*0m/s = 0

The total initial momentum is:

Pi = Pg + Po = 40 kg*m/s.

After the green fish eats the orange fish, we do not have an orange fish anymore, and the mass of the green fish will be equal to it's initial mass, plus the mass of the fish that it ate, this will be:

M = 20kg + 1kg = 21kg.

Then the momentum will be:

Pf = 21kg*V

Where V is the final velocity.

For conservation of momentum, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum, then:

Pi = Pf

40 kg*m/s = 21kg*V

(40/21) m/s = 1.9 m/s = V

The fish's final velocity is 1.9 m/s
