7 0

Answer:

Total distance = 400+700+1200= 2300km

Explanation:

the resultant of d 1st right angle triangle + 1200

= 806.2 + 1200 = 2006.2km

IE is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. As atomic radius increases, the valence electrons get farther from
Bond [772]

Answer:

The bigger the atom the lesser the ability of the atom to hold on to its valence electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be looked at as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost energy level. As an atom gets bigger, the outer shell gets further and further from the positive nucleus. this means that electrons that are in the outer energy level become less held (attracted) by the nucleus because of distance and shielding of the attractive forces by the electrons in the lower energy levels. This means that as an atom becomes bigger, its ability to hold on to its outer electrons lessens.

Suppose you are in an elevator that is moving upward with a constant velocity. A scale inside the elevator shows your weight to
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

a) Less than 600 N

b) 600 N

c) Less than 600 N

Explanation:

The value registered by the scale, measures the normal force on the object placed on the scale.

The person on the scale, is acted by two external forces, gravity (which we call weight, and always go downward) and the normal force, an upward force in this case.

The difference between both forces, according Newton’s 2nd law, must be equal to the product of the mass of the object, times the acceleration.

If the elevator moves upward to a constant speed, and then slows down, this means that there exists a net force on the person, producing a acceleration directed downwards on him.

If we take the direction of the acceleration (downward) to be positive, this means that the difference between gravity force and normal force must be positive.

As mg = 600 N (equal to normal force when no net force is present), the normal force in this case must be less than 600 N.

b) If the elevator is stopped, the effect is the same like it were moving at constant speed, so in this case the normal force remains the same: 600 N

c) Assuming that it starts from rest, if it accelerates going downward, and if we take as positive the downward direction, in order to satisfy Newton’s 2nd Law, normal force must be less than 600N so the difference between gravity and normal force remain positive.
