What are allotropes? Give an example.

Allotropes are different forms of the same element. Different bonding arrangements between atoms result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties. Allotropes occur only with certain elements, in Groups 13 through 16 in the Periodic Table.

<span>An allotrope is a variant of a substance consisting of only one type of atom. It is a new molecular configuration, with new physical properties. Substances that have allotropes include carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorous. Allotropes of a given substance will often have substantial differences between each other. For example, one allotrope of carbon, fullerene, is many times stronger and lighter than steel. An allotrope should not be confused with phase, which is a change in the way molecules relate to each other, not in the way that individual atoms bond together.</span>

Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great

maxonik [38]

It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

The vertical force f acts downward at A on the two membered frames. Determine the magnitude of the two components of F directed

galben [10]

Answer:

The magnitude will be "353.5 N". A further solution is given below.

Explanation:

The given values is:

F = 500 N

According to the question,

In ΔABC,

⇒ $\angle BCA = (90-30)$

⇒ $=60^{\circ}$

then,

⇒ $\angle BAC=(180-45-60)$

⇒ $=75^{\circ}$

Now,

The corresponding angle will be:

⇒ $\angle FAC=60^{\circ}$

⇒ $\angle FAB=70+60$

⇒ $=135^{\circ}$

Aspect of F across the AC arm will be:

= $F\times cos(60)$

On putting the values of F, we get

= $500\times (.5)$

= $200 \ Newton$

Component F along the AC (in magnitude) will be:

= $F\times cos(135)$

= $500\times (-.707)$

= $-353.5 \ N \$

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.159 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 4.75 m/s, but it comes to a

Anton [14]

Answer:

The energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is 1.355 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the hockey puck, m = 0.159 kg

initial speed of the puck, u = 4.75 m/s

final speed of the puck, v = 2.35 m/s

The energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is given by;

ΔE = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

ΔE = ¹/₂ x 0.159 (2.35² - 4.75²)

ΔE = -1.355 J

the lost energy is 1.355 J

Therefore, the energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is 1.355 J

Pie

<u>Galileo's discovery shows that, to an observer on Earth, Venus has phases just like Earth's moon. This observation provide support for the heliocentric model of the solar system as follows:</u>

Galileo noticed the Moon is not flat, but rocky and rugged-just like the Earth did.
He used his telescope to observe the Venus phases. Galileo's findings confirmed his confidence in the concept of Copernicus that Earth and remaining planets revolve around the Sun, i.e. Heliocentrism.
While most individuals in Galileo's days assumed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun and planets revolved around it, i.e. geocentrism.
The idea of geocentric was generally preferred by the prominent and strong Catholic Church, and when Galileo started writing papers on his belief in a heliocentric with a valid explanation, he was called to Rome to face the inquisition's charges towards him.
Thus in early 1616 he was accused of being a heretic, but later he cleared of charges of "heresy" with warning that he should not spread his belief.
But he pursued his astronomy research, and was increasingly confident that all planets revolved around the Sun. Therefore he published a book in 1632 which explained that Copernicus' heliocentric theory was appropriate.
Thus after this finally he was charged by "heresy" and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1633, but due to his poor health he lived imprisonment under house arrest and finally died on January 8, 1642.
