Option (c) is the correct answer. Halogens react by gaining one electron.

The halogens in the periodic table are Florine, chlorine, Bromine, iodine, astatine

All these electrons are short of one electron in the outermost shell. so these halogens gain one electrons and form anions.

For example, Florine has an atomic number of 9. so its electronic configuration is given by 2,7. it needs one electron to complete its octet as

F + e--------> F⁻

All other halogens similarly gain one electron to react.

A 15-lb block B starts from rest and slides on the 25-lb wedge A, which is supported by a horizontal surface. Neglecting frictio

xxTIMURxx [149]

The angle of the wedge is 30°.

Answer:

5.88 ft/s

Explanation:

a) The block will slide down due to it's weight.

initial velocity u= 0

final velocity, v

acceleration, a = g sin 30° = 32 ft/s²× sin 30° = 16 ft/s²

Sliding displacement, s = 3ft

Use third equation of motion:

$v^2-u^2 = 2as$

substitute the values and solve for v

$v^2-0 = 2\times 16 \times 3 =96 ft^2/s^2\\v = 9.8 ft/s$

b) Use conservation of momentum:

Initial momentum of the system = 0

final momentum = (15) ( 9.8)+ (25)(v')

v' = 5.88 ft/s

A student is preparing to bake a cake at home and places several ingredients on the countertop to use. First he preheats the ove

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

baking the cake batter

Explanation:

Baking the cake batter will indicate that chemical change has occurred here. What is a chemical change?

A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter is formed.
It is usually accompanied by energy either evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both.
The process is irreversible.
When the batter bakes, a new substance different from the cake mix is obtainable.
We cannot get back the ingredient from this baked cake. It is impossible.
This is good indicator of chemical change.

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth. Its angular velocity is 7.27*10^-5 rad/s. What is the velocity o

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 3.08 km/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The angular velocity of the satellite = $\omega=7.27\times 10^{-5} rad/s$

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth.

The radius of the earth is 6400 km

Let v is the velocity of the satellite. It can be calculated as :

$v=r\omega\\\\v=(36000\times 10^3+6400\times 10^3)\times 7.27\times 10^{-5}\\\\v=3082.48\ m/s\\\\v=3.08\ km/s$

So, the velocity of the satellite is 3.08 km/s.

Air is cooled in a process with constant pressure of 150 kPa. Before the process begins, air has a specific volume of 0.062 m^3/

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.

the specific volumes are:

initial = 0.062 m^3/kg

final = 0.027 m^3/kg.

Then, the specific work can be written as:

$W = \int\limits^{vf}_{vi} {Pdv} \, = P(vf - vi) = 150kPa*(0.0027 - 0.062)m^3/kg = -5.25 kPa*m^3/kg.$

The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.

Now, to write it in more common units we have that:

1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.

-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.
