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.

A playground slide is inclined 40°. If a boy with a mass of 32 kg slides down for -3meters. How much work is done by gravity on

telo118 [61]

Answer:

the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

Explanation:

Given;

distance the boy slides, d = 3 m

angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰

mass of the boy, m = 32 kg

The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.

The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

$sin \theta = \frac{opposite }{hypotenuse} \\\\sin \theta = \frac{h}{d} \\\\h = dsin\theta\\\\h = 3 \times sin(40^0)\\\\h = 1.928 \ m$

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;

W = P.E = mgh

= 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m

= 604.62 J

Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

Answer:

A.The new discovery might cause the theory to be dismissed since it contradicts it.

D.The new discovery might further deny the theory since it presents evidence that contradicts it.

Itl be hard for them to decide you know, since this bigbang theory by darwin is widespread and cant be easily opposed..

The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3. The density of ethanol is 0.80 g/cm3. What is the volume of ethanol, in cm3 that has the sam

eduard

Explanation:

Given that,

The density of water is 1 g/cm³

The density of ethanol is 0.8 g/cm³

We need to find the volume of the ethanol that has the same mass as 100 cm³ of water.

Density=mass/volume

For water,

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\m=dV\\\\m=1\ g/cm^3\times 100\ cm^3\\\\m=100\ g$

For ethanol,

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\ g}{0.8\ g/cm^3}\\\\V=125\ cm^3$

Hence, 125 cm³ of ethanol has the same mass as 100 cm³ of water.
