A single fixed pulley can be used to raise or lower lightweight objects.

Option b

<u>Explanation:</u>

A pulley is a simple machine tool which is used to make lifting or lowering tasks easy. A single fixed pulley is a system involving only one pulley fixed on a constant rigid support with a rope wrapped around the wheel. Such a system can be used only to change the direction of applied force in raising or lowering small, lightweight objects which need minimal work force.

A single fixed pulley system helps only in redirecting the applied force direction by using a rope and wheel assembly. The work done in such a case remains the same and hence it is not preferred to use it in lifting heavy objects. Neither is the required force reduced in case of a single fixed pulley system. A movable pulley helps in achieving (A) and (C).

What electrical force dies a Uranium nucleus exert on one of its inner electrons, located at a distance of 175 picometers (= 1.7

AlekseyPX

Answer:

correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

Explanation:

given data

distance = 175 picometers = 1.75 × $10^{-10}$ m

to find out

electrical force

solution

we know atomic no of uranium is 92

and charge on electron is = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C

and electrical force is express as

electrical force = $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _o} \frac{q1q2}{r^2}$ .............1

put here value we get

electrical force = $9*10^9 \frac{92*(1.6*10^{-19})^2}{(1.75*10^{-10})^2}$

electrical force = 6.921 × $10^{-7}$ N

so correct option is d) 7.0 x 10^-7 N

Explain how valence electrons can result in the<br> creation of ions.

Brums [2.3K]

So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.
