Answer: 80

Explanation:

Elements are arranged in periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Mercury (Hg) is a d block element and its atomic number is 80, thus it contains 80 protons and 80 electrons.

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

Electronic configuration of mercury in terms of noble gas configuration is [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^{2}.

laiz [17]

Answer:

10,000 eV

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its change in electric potential energy:

K=\Delta U=q \Delta V

where:

K is the kinetic energy of the electron

q=1 e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

\Delta V is the potential difference through which the electron has been accelerated

For this electron in the TV, we have

\Delta V=10 kV=10000 V

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the electron in electronvolts is

K=(1 e)(10000 V)=10000 eV

Please help me, it's a simple equation
castortr0y [4]

Because the elevator moves at a constant speed, it's in equilibrium and the net force acting on it is zero. Then the tension in the cable exactly equals the magnitude of the elevator's weight, which is

(3000 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 29,400 N
