What does the symbol in an electron dot diagram mean

1 answer:

7 0

A lewis electron dot diagram (or electron dot diagram) is a representation of the valence electrons of an atom that uses dots around the symbol of the element. the number of dots equals the number of valence electrons in the atom.

An upward force act on a proton as it moves with a speed of 2.0 x 10^5 meters/seconds through a magnetic field of 8.5 x 10^2

Gekata [30.6K]

Force on a moving charge is given by formula

$\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

here we know that this force will be maximum when velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field

$\vec F = qvB$

here we know that

$v = 2.0 \times 10^5 m/s$

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$B = 8.5 \times 10^2 T$

now we have

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(2 \times 10^5)(8.5 \times 10^2)$

$F = 2.72 \times 10^{-11} N$

Two resistors R1 = 3 Ω and R2 = 6 Ω are connected in parallel. What is the net resistance in the circuit?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

"2Ω" is the net resistance in the circuit.

Explanation:

The given resistors are:

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 6Ω

The net resistance will be:

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6}$

On taking L.C.M, we get

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{2+1}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{3}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{2}$

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒ $R_{net}=2 \Omega$

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?

cricket20 [7]

Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.

A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car $V_{c}$ = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

$V_{f}$ = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

$V_{f}$ = $V_{i}$ + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁ = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁ will be

$d_{c}$ = $V_{c}$ × t₁

we substitute

$d_{c}$ = 22.352 × 7

$d_{c}$ = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd = $d_{c}$ - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( $V_{f}$ - $V_{c}$ )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = $V_{f}$ × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Government as an academic field of study

Savatey [412]

Government as an academic field of study is a vast subject, encompassing political institutions and political theories. ... Government allows for civil order by creating laws and protecting its citizens. In order to ensure enforcement of laws, government also creates punishments for those who break the law.
