Describe the differences in the atomic structures of a hydrogen atom and a helium atom.

A helium atom would never explode and is non-reactive, whereas a hydrogen atom is.

A helium atom is not flammable because it is one of the Inert Gasses; In contrast, Hydrogen is flammable. It reacts explosively with Oxygen


I think I am correct, but comment if I'm wrong :-)

The other answer here says nothing about the structures
of a Hydrogen atom or a Helium atom.


In "classical terms" ... where we picture an atom something
like a tiny tiny solar system ...

-- The nucleus of a Hydrogen atom is a single proton,
whereas the nucleus of a Helium atom is a tightly bound
bundle of four particles ... 2 protons and 2 neutrons. 
This also means that every atom of Helium has 4 times
the mass of a Hydrogen atom.

-- In addition to the atomic nucleus, one electrically-neutral
atom of Hydrogen has an electron associated with the nucleus
and at some distance from it, whereas an electrically-neutral atom
of Helium has two electrons.

explain y it is easier to loosen a tight but using a spanner with along handle than with a short handle​
8090 [49]

Answer:

This is because using a long handled requires less force to the center of gravity and makes it easier to rotate than a short handled spanner

A jet transport has a weight of 2.25 x 106 N and is at rest on the runway. The two rear wheels are 16.0 m behind the front wheel
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of jet

W = 2.25 × 10^6 N

It is at rest on the run way.

Two rear wheels are 16m behind the front wheel

Center of gravity of plane 10.6m behind the front wheel

A. Normal force entered on the ground by front wheel.

Taking moment about the the about the real wheel.

Check attachment for better understanding

So,

Clock wise moment = anti-clockwise moment

W × 5.4 = N × 16

2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 = 16•N

N = 2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 / 16

N = 7.594 × 10^5 N

B. Normal force on each of the rear two wheels.

Using the second principle of equilibrium body.

Let the rear wheel normal be Nr and note, the are two real wheels, then, there will be two normal forces

ΣFy = 0

Nr + Nr + N — W = 0

2•Nr = W—N

2•Nr = 2.25 × 10^6 — 7.594 × 10^5

2•Nr = 1.491 × 10^6

Nr = 1.491 × 10^6 / 2

Nr = 7.453 × 10^5 N

When measuring an unknown voltage with an analog VOM, you should first
Soloha48 [4]
If you have no idea what the voltage is that you're about to measure,
then you should set the meter to the highest range before you connect
it to the two points in the circuit. 

Analog meters indicate the measurement by moving a physical needle
across a physical card with physical numbers printed on it.  If the unknown
voltage happens to be 100 times the full range to which the meter is set,
then the needle may find itself trying to move to a position that's 100 times
past the highest number on the meter's face.  You'll hear a soft 'twang',
followed by a louder 'CLICK'.  Then you'll wonder why the meter has no
needle on it, and then you'll walk over to the other side of the room and
pick up the needle off the floor, and then you'll probably put the needle
in your pocket.  That will end your voltage measurements for that day,
and certainly for that meter. 

Been there.
Done that.
