Answer: An atom's ability to attract other electrons and form a chemical bond

Explanation:

The electronegativity of an atom tells of its power to attract electrons. Electronegativity values of elements ranges from 0 to 4.0, a high value means higher ability to attract electrons while a lower value means lower ability to attract electrons. Also, a wider difference in electronegativity between two atoms gives an ionic bond unlike a covalent bond with narrow difference.

Thus, nonmetals like chlorine higher electronegativities than metals like potassium.

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in a series circuit with a battery. The resistance of A is twice that of B. Which resistor

IgorC [24]

Answer:

A dissipates more power.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, the current is the same at any point in it.
The power dissipated in any resistor follows Joule's law, as follows:

$P = I^{2} * R$

So, for a given current, the power is directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
In this case, as resistor A has twice the resistance of resistor B, A dissipates twice more power than B.

A 56.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 11.2 s, what is

andre [41]

Answer:

2.80N/m

Explanation:

Given data

mass m= 56kg

perios T= 11.2s

The expression for the period is given as

T=2π√m/k

Substitute

11.2= 2*3.142*√56/k

square both sides

11.2^2= 2*3.142*56/k

125.44= 351.904/k

k=351.904/125.44

k= 2.80N/m

Hence the spring constant is 2.80N/m

What is relative density?

Artemon [7]

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.
