<span><span>The answer is A.

</span><span>Chlorine is found in group7A of the periodic table. This means that when they are neutral, (electrons and protons are equal), they lack 1 electron to complete the octet or eight valence electrons to be stable. This will result in Chlorine having to gain an electron. Since it gained an electron, that means the electrons outnumber the protons by 1, which will result in a negative charge of -1. </span></span>

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

Oil head = 12.2 m

h= 12.2 m

Pressure P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

Lets take density of the liquid =ρ

The pressure due to liquid P given as

P = ρ g h

Now by putting the all values in the above equation

1.013 x 10⁵ Pa = ρ x 10 x 12.2 ( take g =10 m/s²)

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Therefore the density of oil is 830.32 kg/m³

In order for electrical current to flow through a solid, _____. the solid must have electrons the electrons in the solid must be

nydimaria [60]

Electrical current will flow through a solid by the means of electrons. The electrons in the solid must be able to move from lower to higher electrical potential. The electric current in certain solid electrolytes like ice is entirely composed of flowing ions.

A brand new corvette can go from 0 to 85 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

(A) 7.9 m/s^{2}

(B) 19 m/s

(C) 91 m

Explanation:

initial velocity (U) = 0 mph = 0 m/s

final velocity (V) = 85 mph = 85 x 0.447 = 38 m/s

initial time (ti) = 0 s

final time (t) = 4.8 s

(A) acceleration = $\frac{V-U}{t}$

= $\frac{38-0}{4.8}$ = 7.9 m/s^{2}

(B) average velocity = $\frac{V+U}{2}$

= $\frac{38+0}{2}$ = 19 m/s

(C) distance travelled (S) = ut + $0.5at^{2}$

= (0 x 4.8) + $0.5 x 7.9 x 4.8^{2}$ = 91 m

A cheetah can accelerate from rest to a speed of 21.5 m/s in 6.75 s. What is its acceleration? m/s^2

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be $a=3.185m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given final velocity v = 21.5 m/sec

Time t = 6.75 sec

As cheetah starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

From first equation of motion we know that v = u+at, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So $21.5=0+a\times 6.75$

$a=3.185m/sec^2$

Consider a 40,000 km steel pipe in the shape of a ring that fits snuggly all around the circumference of the Earth. We are heati

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The Height is H = 70.02 m

Explanation:

We are given that the

Initial length is = $40000\ Km$ = $40,000 *10^{3} m$

from what we are told in the question the circumference of the circle is = $40,000 Km$

This means that the Radius would be :

Let C denote the circumference

So

$C = 2 \pi r$

=> $r = \frac{C}{2 \pi}$

$r = \frac{40,000}{2 \pi } = \frac{40,000*10^{3}}{2 *3.142} = 6.365*10^6 m$

We are told that 1-meter bar of steel that increases its temperature by 1 degree C will expand $11*10^{-6}$ meters

Hence

The final length would be

$40000*10^3 *(T + \alpha )$

Where T is the change in temperature $\alpha$ is the Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

let $L_{final}$ denote the final length

So

$L_{final} =40000*10^{6} *[1+ 11*10^{-6}]$

$= 40000440 \ m$

Now the Height is mathematically represented as

$Height(H) \ = \frac{change \ in \ radius \ }{2 \pi}$

$= \frac{(40000440-40000*10^3)}{2*3.142}$

$= 70.02m$
