What's a difference between mercury and oxygen? (They both are elements)

1 answer:

8 0

-- There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.

-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.

-- Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.

-- Oxygen is required for human life. Mercury is a deadly poison.

How long does it take light from a camera to travel to the face of someone standing 7 meters away?

mestny [16]

The time taken for the light to travel from the camera to someone standing 7 m away is 2.33×10¯⁸ s

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

<h3>Speed = distance / time </h3>

With the above formula, we can obtain the time taken for the light to travel from the camera to someone standing 7 m away. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 7 m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Time = Distance / speed

Time = 7 / 3×10⁸

Therefore, the time taken for the light to travel from the camera to someone standing 7 m away is 2.33×10¯⁸ s

When water changes into vapor this is called?

Scorpion4ik [409]

When water changes into vapor, it is called evaporation. BONUS: This is formed by the boiling point of water, which is 230°F (Fahrenheit) or 110°C (Celsius).

A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i

cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

$\boxed{\mathfrak{range = \frac{ u {}^{2} \sin 2\theta }{g} }}$

u is the velocity during its take off and $\theta$ is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

u = 8m/ s
$\theta$ = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

$= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40) }{10}$

$= \frac{64 \times \sin(80) }{10}$

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

$= \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}$

$= \frac{63.027}{10}$

$= 6.3027$

Hence,

$\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \: \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }$

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.

A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur

emmasim [6.3K]

• Net vertical force on the block:

∑ F = n - w = 0

(n = magnitude of normal force, w = weight)

n = w = m g

(m = mass, g = 9.8 m/s²)

n = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N

• Net horizontal force:

∑ F = -f = m a

(f = mag. of friction, a = acceleration)

We have f = µ n = 0.5 (39.2 N) = 19.6 N, so

-19.6 N = (4 kg) a

a = -4.9 m/s²

With this acceleration, the block comes to a rest from an initial speed of 5 m/s, so that it travels a distance ∆x in this time such that

0² - (5 m/s)² = 2 (-4.9 m/s²) ∆x

∆x = (25 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.55 m ≈ 2.6 m
