Answer:

For an atom to become totally stable, it needs to have a full outer shell. To do this, two or more atoms will share or give away electrons to each other in a process called bonding.

Explanation:

When an atom loses or gains an electron, it becomes an ion. If it gains an electron, it's a cation, and if it loses one, it's an anion. This happens most commonly in chemical reactions, in which atoms share electrons to form a stable outer shell of 8. For example, the water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom.

8. A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the x-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation f

pychu [463]

(a) The turtle's initial velocity is 4 m/s, initial position of the turtle is 5 cm, and initial acceleration is -1.25 m/s².

(b) The time when the velocity of the turtle is zero is 3.2 s.

(d) The time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm is 0.08 s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the turtle</h3>

The initial velocity of the turtle is calculated as follows;

$v = \frac{dx}{dt} \\\\x = 5 + 4t -0.625t^2\\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\v(0) = 4-0\\\\v(0) = 4 \ m/s$

<h3>Initial acceleration of the turtle</h3>

The initial acceleration of the turtle is calculated as follows;

$a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\a = -1.25\ m/s^2$

<h3>Initial position of the turtle</h3>

x(t) = 5 + 4t - 0.625t²

x(0) = 5 cm

<h3>Time when the velocity becomes zero</h3>

v(t) = 4 - 1.25t

0 = 4 - 1.25t

1.25t = 4

t = 4/1.25

t = 3.2 s

<h3>Time taken to return to starting point</h3>

The total distance traveled is calculated as follows

v² = u² + 2ad

0 = (4)² + 2(-1.25)d

0 = 16 - 2.5d

2.5d = 16

d = 16/2.5

d = 6.4 m

Time to travel the given distance;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

6.4 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

6.4 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 6.4 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 3.2 s

The time travel the distance two times, = 2 x 3.2 s = 6.4 s

<h3>Time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm</h3>

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

0.3 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

0.3 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 0.3 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 0.08 s

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.

Tim and Rick both can run at speed Vr and walk at speed Vw, with Vr > Vw.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Δt = $\frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw}$

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using the equation of speed for the whole trip, we can obtain the time each one needed to cover the distance D.

The speed (v) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to cover that distance (t):

v = d/t

Rick traveled half of the distance at Vr and the other half at Vw. Then, when v = Vr, the distance traveled was D/2 and the time is unknown, Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

For the other half of the trip the expression of velocity will be:

Vw = D/(2 · Δt2)

The total time traveled is the sum of both Δt:

Δt(total) = Δt1 + Δt2

Then, solving the first equation for Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

Δt1 = D/(2 · Vr)

In the same way for the second equation:

Δt2 = D/(2 · Vw)

Δt + Δt2 = D/(2 · Vr) + D/(2 · Vw)

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

The time needed by Rick to complete the trip was:

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

Now let´s calculate the time it took Tim to do the trip:

Tim walks half of the time, then his speed could be expressed as follows:

Vw = 2d1/Δt Where d1 is the traveled distance.

Solving for d1:

Vw · Δt/2 = d1

He then ran half of the time:

Vr = 2d2/Δt

Solving for d2:

Vr · Δt/2 = d2

Since d1 + d2 = D, then:

Vw · Δt/2 + Vr · Δt/2 = D

Solving for Δt:

Δt (Vw/2 + Vr/2) = D

Δt = D / (Vw/2 + Vr/2)

Δt = D/ ((Vw + Vr)/2)

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

The time needed by Tim to complete the trip was:

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

Let´s find the diference between the time done by Tim and the one done by Rick:

Δt(tim) - Δt(rick)

2D / (Vw + Vr) - (D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw))

$\frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw}$ = Δt

Let´s check the result. If Vr = Vw:

Δt = 2D/2Vr - D/2Vr - D/2Vr

Δt = D/Vr - D/Vr = 0

This makes sense because if both move with the same velocity all the time both will do the trip in the same time.
