Describe the relative energy of the electrons in the shells of a calcium atom

Physics
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]3 years ago
5 0

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:

  1. Calcium has 20 electrons.
  2. Calcium does not "borrow" electrons. Calcium "donates" 2 electrons.
  3. Calcium ion (Ca2+) has 18 electron
  4. Calcium has 2 valence electrons.
  5. 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.

Astronauts aboard the U.S.S. Burger decide to fire the rocket thrusters for 3.0 seconds to make a course correction. While the t
Cloud [144]

Answer:

340 m/s

Solution:

As per the question;

Time, t = 3.0 s

Total distance moved by the ship, d = 10,500 km

The increase in speed, v = 340 m/s

Now,

To calculate the U.S.S Burger's change in speed, \Delta V:

The final velocity is given by:

v_{f} = 340 + v_{i}                      (1)

where

v_{f} = final\ velocity

v_{i} = initial\ velocity

Also, the change in velocity is given by:

\Delta v = v_{f} - v_{i}                    (2)

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

\Delta = 340 + v_{i} - v_{i} = 340\ m/s

An incandescent bulb produces 520 lumens and has an efficacy of 13 lm/W.
Mars2501 [29]

(520 lm) divided by (13 lm/W)

= (520 lm) times (W/13lm)

= (520/13) (lm · W / lm)

= 40 W

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?
Lady_Fox [76]
This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.

A sample of 4.50 g of methane occupies 12.7 dm3 at 310 K. (a) Calculate the work done when the gas expands isothermally against
valkas [14]

Answer:

(A) Work done will be 87.992 KJ

(B) Work done will be 167.4 KJ            

Explanation:

We have given mass of methane m = 4.5 gram = 0.0045 kg

Volume occupies V_1=12.7dm^3=12.7liters

And volume is increased by 3.3dm^3 so V_2=12.7+3.3=16liters

Temperature T = 310 K

Pressure is given as 200 Torr = 26664.5 Pa

(a) At constant pressure work done is given by

W=P(V_2-V_1)=26664.5\times (16-12.7)=87992.85J=87.992kj

(b) At reversible process work done is given by W=nRTln\frac{V_2}{V_1}

We have given mass = 4.5 gram

Molar mass of methane = 16

So number of moles n=\frac{mass\ in\ gram}{mol;ar\ mass}=\frac{4.5}{16}=0.28125

So work done W=0.28125\times 8.314\times 310ln\frac{16}{12.7}=167.4J

A jet taxiing down the runway receives word that it must return to the gate. The jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receiv
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

7 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receives the message. 

And it takes the pilot 5.37 s to bring the plane to a halt.

Acceleration of the plane can be calculated by using first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the plane is going to stop, the final velocity V = zero.

And the acceleration will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 37.6 - 5.37a

5.37a = 37.6

Make a the subject of formula

a = 37.6 / 5.37

a = 7.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the plane to bring the plane to a halt is 7 m/s^2
