Alkali metal

Explanation:

In general, an alkali metal will be more reactive than an alkaline earth metal in the same period.

What determines reactivity of metals?

The electropositivity of metals determines how reactive they are.

  • Electropositivity or metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.
  • It is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of an element.
  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic it is
  • Also, the more reactive it will be because, it can lose electrons more readily.
  • Across a period from left to right, electropositivity decreases and from top to down a group, it increases.
  • Since alkali metals are more electropositive than alkali earth metals, they are more reactive and readily lose their only electron.
  • This is why the most reactive metal is francium found in the lower left corner on the periodic table.
  • For non-metals, electronegativity is the most important factor.

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda

here we know that

\mu = 1.756

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

\lambda = 675 nm

now we have

2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}

t = 96.1 nm

Rzqust [24]

Wow !  This is not simple.  At first, it looks like there's not enough information, because we don't know the mass of the cars.  But I"m pretty sure it turns out that we don't need to know it.

At the top of the first hill, the car's potential energy is

                                  PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

At the bottom, the car's kinetic energy is

                                 KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

You said that the car's speed is 70 m/s at the bottom of the hill,
and you also said that 10% of the energy will be lost on the way
down.  So now, here comes the big jump.  Put a comment under
my answer if you don't see where I got this equation:

                                   KE = 0.9  PE

        (1/2) (mass) (70 m/s)² = (0.9) (mass) (gravity) (height)     

Divide each side by (mass): 

               (0.5) (4900 m²/s²) = (0.9) (9.8 m/s²) (height)

(There goes the mass.  As long as the whole thing is 90% efficient,
the solution will be the same for any number of cars, loaded with
any number of passengers.)

Divide each side by (0.9):

               (0.5/0.9) (4900 m²/s²) = (9.8 m/s²) (height)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):

               Height = (5/9)(4900 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (5 x 4900 m²/s²) / (9 x 9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (24,500 / 88.2)  (m²/s²) / (m/s²)

                          =        277-7/9    meters
                                  (about 911 feet)

A 35 N force makes a 10 degree angle with the positive x-axis. What is the magnitude of the vertical component of the force?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

6.07 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 35 N

It makes 10 degree angle with the positive x-axis.

We need to find the magnitude of the vertical component of the force. It can be given by :

F_y=F\sin\theta\\\\=35\times \sin(10)\\\\=6.07\ N

So, the magnitude of the vertical component of the force is 6.07 N.
