Which of the following describes work?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  • <em><u>lifting a 1 kg mass 1 m.</u></em>

Explanation:

<em>Work </em>is the result of applying a force that manages to move a mass.

Thus, the work (mechanical work in this case because this is a mechanical force, not an electrical one) applied by a constant force is the product of the force times the distance that the object is moved.

Also, you can calculate the mechanical work as the difference in the mechanical energy between the initial and the final stages of the event where the force was applied.

Let's see each choice:

a) <em><u>Holding a mass for 1 hr</u></em>: since no translation is involved, displacement is and the work is zero.

b) <em><u>Holding 1 kg mass</u></em>: again, no motion is involved, so there is no work.

c) <em><u>Moving 1 m in 1 hr</u></em>: there is not force involved in this statement, so there is not work.

d) <em><u>lifting a 1 kg mass 1 m:</u></em> this, indeed, describes a situation where work results from applying a lifting force to move a mass 1 m up.

In this case, such work is equal to the change in the potential energy of the mass: mgΔh = 1kg × 9.8m/s² × 1 m = 9.8 joules.

At STP, which substance has metallic bonding?
kogti [31]
Silver has metallic bonding.

Silver is a very typical and main metal. The negatively charged electrons distribute themselves throughout the entire piece of metal and form non directional bonds between the positive silver ions, which is metallic bonding, and what silver contributes.

Please help on 44. /45./ 46./47,
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The only one that I can do without google is 47. Sorry that I can't answer the others. The answer to 47 is this: you know that the western side of the hill has the steepest slope because the ovals showing altitude are way closer together. The closer the circles/ovals are, the steeper the slope is.

Sorry if this doesn't help much, but I answered what I could without cheating.

What is a property of most metals?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
(2) They tend to lose electrons easily when bonding is the correct answer.

All metals have either one, two, or three valence electrons. Therefore, they tend to lose these valence electrons in order to have eight valence electrons like noble gases do.

Hope this helps~
