Answer: D. The elements have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation: The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

The elements present in the same group or vertical column have similar valence configurations and thus behave similarly in chemical reactions or have similar bonding properties.

For Example: Both fluorine and chlorine belong to same family or group and both have 7 electrons in their valence shell and thus accept single electron to attain noble gas configuration.

F:9:1s^22s^22p^5

F^-:10: 1s^22s^22p^6

Cl:17:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Cl^-:18:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

thus both would bond with a cation bearing a single positive charge.

Suppose that it takes a simple pendulum 1.2 seconds to swing from its leftmost point to its rightmost point. what is the period
Mariana [72]

The time period of the simple pendulum is 2.4 seconds.

Given the data in the question;

  • Time taken to swing from leftmost point to rightmost point; t = 1.2s
  • Period of the pendulum; T = \ ?

<h3>What is Period?</h3>

Period is the time needed for a complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

Period of a pendulum is the of time needed for it to complete one full back-and-forth motion. It is the time required to for the pendulum to swing from leftmost point to rightmost point and back to leftmost point.

Now, if it took the pendulum 1.2s to swing from leftmost point to rightmost point, it will also take the pendulum 1.2s to swing back to its original position( leftmost point )

Hence,

T = time taken to swing from leftmost to rightmost + time taken to swing from rightmost point to leftmost point.

T = 1.2s + 1.2s\\\\T = 2.4s

Therefore, the time period of the simple pendulum is 2.4 seconds.

I know the answer, but just so I don't get it wrong on study island:
Pavel [41]

In 2006, the International Astronomical Union created a new category of object in the solar system.  The first object to be listed in that category was Pluto, and several more have been discovered and included since then.

The category is "Dwarf Planet" .

A boat with a mass of 1000 kg drifts with the current down a straight section of river parallel to the +x+x axis with a speed of
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Our values are defined by,

m=1000kg\\v = 2m/s\\a = 2.7 \angle 45\°

We can express also in a vectorial way, then

v=2\hat{i} \rightarrowno values in \hat{j}

Acceleration as follow,

a= 2.7cos45 \hat{i} + 2.7 sin45 \hat{j}

We know that velocity is given by,

V(t) = v_0+at \rightarrow v_0 = 2

We need to calculate for t=3, then

v(3) = 2\hat{i} +(2.7cos45 \hat{i} + 2.7 sin45 \hat{j})*3

v(3) = (2\hat{i}+3*2.7cos45 \hat{i})+(3*2.7 sin45 \hat{j})

v(3) = (2+3*2.7cos45)\hat{i}+(5.7 sin45 )\hat{j}

v(3) = 7.7\hat{i}+5.7\hat{j}

Our mass is 1000Kg, so the momentum is

P = mv

P= 1000(7.7\hat{i}+5.7\hat{j})

P=7700\hat{i}+5700\hat{j}

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.
AysviL [449]
D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil
