Answer:

There will be a reduction of the more electro-negative atom and energy will be released

Explanation:

oxidation is the loss of electron while reduction is the gain of electron. in most cases electronegative elements acts as oxidizing agents and are reduced, while electropositive elements acts as reducing agents and are oxidized.

In a situation where we have two electronegative atoms, the less electronegative would tend to behave as electropositve and lose its electron.

When these electron is gained by the more electronegative atom, it will become reduced and energy will be released.

A(n)is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The correct answer is "magnetic field".

Explanation:

A magnetic field is produced around the current carrying wire.

If you bring compass needle around the current carrying wire then it shows the deflection which indicates that there is a magnetic field around the current carrying wire.

Magnetic fields are the area around the surrounding of magnet in which magnetic force can be experienced.

Therefore, a magnetic field is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire.

According to the intuitive guess you just made, is the overall momentum of the two-cart system after the collision greater than,

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

It is equal to the overall momentum before collision, so far no external object is involved.

Explanation:

Momentum is always conserved during collision as a rule. This is equal to the product of the mass and velocity. Thank you.

Which scientific law describes the relationship between action and reaction force pairs? Newton's third law of motion Kepler's l

Hitman42 [59]

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.

a uniform rule balance on a knife edge at the 55cm mark when a mass of 40g is hung from the 95cm mark. find the weight of the ru

BigorU [14]

Answer:

W = 3.1 N

Explanation:

moments about any convenient point will sum to zero.

I choose summing about the knife edge mark and will assume the ruler of weight W is of uniform construction.

I will assume the ruler weight makes a positive moment

W[55 - 50) - 0.040(9.8)[ 95 - 55] = 0

5W = 15.68

W = 3.136
