Why it is easier to remove a 2p electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogen atom?

Answer:

The electrons in oxygen are paired while in nitrogen, they are not.

Explanation:

To analyse this we start with writing out the ground state electronic configurations for both elements.

Oxygen: 1s²2s²2p4 meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons ↑↓ ↑ ↑

Nitrogen : 1s²2s²2p³ meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons ↑ ↑ ↑

Clearly the paired electron in oxygen will be experiencing repulsion from the electron it shares an orbital with causing it to be removed easily. The electrons in nitrogen are unpaired, each orbital is singly occupied

A 37 cm long solenoid, 1.8 cm in diameter, is to produce a 0.50 T magnetic field at its center. If the maximum current is 4.4 A,

taurus [48]

Answer:

33,458.71 turns

Explanation:

Given: L = 37 cm = 0.37 m, B= 0.50 T, I = 4.4 A, n= number of turn per meter

μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷

Solution:

We have B = μ₀ × n × I

⇒ n = B/ (μ₀ × I)

n = 0.50 T / ( 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷ × 4.4 A)

n = 90,428.94 turn/m

No. of turn through 0.37 m long solenoid = 90,428.94 turn/m × 0.37

= 33,458.71 turns

If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the total energy increase?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

c)by a factor of four

Explanation:

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where

k is the spring constant of the oscillator

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this problem, the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, so

A' = 2A

Therefore, the new total energy is

$E'=\frac{1}{2}k(2A)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=4E$

So, the total energy increases by a factor 4.

A 47.2 kg girl is standing on a 177 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,

Softa [21]

Answer:

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of girl; m_g = 47.2 kg

Mass of plank; m_p = 177 kg

Let the velocity of girl to ice be v_g,i

Let the velocity of plank to ice be v_p,i

Since the velocity of the girl is 1.53 m/s relative to the plank, then;

v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53

From conservation of momentum;

m_g × v_g,i = m_p × v_p,i

Thus;

47.2(v_g,i) = 177(v_p,i)

Dividing both sides by 47.2 gives;

v_g,i = 3.75(v_p,i)

v_pi = (v_g,i)/3.75

Thus, from v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53, we have;

v_g,i + ((v_g,i)/3.75) = 1.53

v_g,i(1 + 1/3.75) = 1.53

1.267v_g,i = 1.53

v_g,i = 1.53/1.267

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

You're using a wedge to split a log. you are hitting the wedge with a large hammer to drive it into the log. it takes a force of

KIM [24]

The work performed on an object is the force multiplied by the distance it is moved, provided the movement is parallel to the force. Since that is the case here, we can get the work by W=Fd=1900N x 0.23m = 437J. This energy is used to split the wood.
