<span>The elements of the periodic table are classified into three categories: inert gases, nonmetals and metals. Generally, inert gases do not readily gain nor lose electrons, while nonmetals are more likely to acquire electrons. Metals contain low ionization energies, which refer to the amount of energy required to free or remove an electron. These elements also have low electron affinities, or the attractive forces between an incoming electron and the nucleus of an atom. The lower the ionization energies and electron affinities of an atom are, the greater the tendency to lose electrons.</span>

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J

When an electric stove element is hot enough, it gives off a dull red glow. When it cools to the point that it no longer glows,
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

It will have a longer wavelength

Explanation:

When an electric stove is hot and gives dull red glow. a part of the energy dissipated is emitted as visible light and part as infrared radiation in the form of heat. When the stove cools down, and no longer glows all the energy is now in the form of infrared radiation.In the electromagnetic spectrum infrared rays have a higher wavelength than visible light. Hence for the reason the radiation will have a higher wavelength since visible light is cut off.
