Answer:

10. m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 3.1 m

y = 0 m

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.4 s

Find: v₀

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3.1 m + v₀ (2.4 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (2.4 s)²

v₀ = 10.47 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the student's initial velocity was 10. m/s.

Which statement correctly describes the reactivity of noble gases, according to the octet rule? Their atoms have eight electrons
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : Their atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, so noble gases are very unreactive.

Explanation:

The octet rule state that atoms tend to complete their last energy levels with eight electrons, and that this configuration make them very stable and unreactive.

Noble gases are characterized as unreactive atoms, and this is associated with the fact that they have a complete valence shell, it means that they have eight electrons on it (they follow the octet rule).

Atoms with less electrons on their valence shells tend to react with another atom, forming bonds, to complete their valence shells (with eight electrons).

A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 26 Ω when cold and 170 Ω when hot. If the equation R = R0 [1 +
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation: The equation that relates resistance of tungsten at different temperatures is as follows

R = R₀ [1 + α ∆T]  , R₀ is resistance at lower temperature , R is resistance at higher temperature . α is temperature coefficient of resistivity and ∆T is rise in temperature .

Putting the values

170 = 26 [1 + .0045 ∆T]

∆T = 1230.75

lower temperature = 40◦C

higher temperature = 1230 + 40

= 1270◦C

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT
worty [1.4K]
The term metabolic syndrome defines a group of risk factors which determine your risk for health issues such as heart disease, a stroke and diabetes. Abdominal weight gain (a), elevated blood fat (c) and insulin resistance (d) are all characteristics which will increase your risk of the above health issues. The only characteristic that will decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes and a stroke is reduced blood pressure (b). If you have any of these negative characteristics, it is important to work at reducing them; thereby, improving your health.
