3 0

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals minus (-) four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals]/2 in the electron configuration.

Atoms/molecules where electrons are paired are diamagnetic (repelled by both poles of a magnetic); while atoms/molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic (attracted to magnetic field).

The two unpaired electrons of dioxygen molecules has made it paramagnetic. By pouring liquid oxygen between the poles of a strong magnet, the liquid stream will be contained by the filed and fills up the space between the poles.

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0

Anna007 [38]

The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string. The time for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero is 0.13 s. W

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 0.52 s

Part b)

$f = 1.92 Hz$

Part c)

$speed = 3.65 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the particle move from its maximum displacement to its mean position in t = 0.13 s

so total time period of the particle is given as

$T = 4\times 0.13 = 0.52 s$

now we have

Part a)

T = time to complete one oscillation

so here it will move to and fro for one complete oscillation

so T = 0.52 s

Part b)

As we know that frequency and time period related to each other as

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

$f = \frac{1}{0.52}$

$f = 1.92 Hz$

Part c)

As we know that

wavelength = 1.9 m

frequency = 1.92 Hz

so wave speed is given as

$speed = wavelength \times frequency$

$speed = 1.92 \times 1.9$

$speed = 3.65 m/s$

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

$A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})$

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

$A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )$

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

T = 2*p / w

T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence, T = 92.8 min

a student in your class says "electromagnetic waves can travel through outer space but mechanical waves can’t.” is it this stude

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel
