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.

A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m /s

lesya [120]

Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s

v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have

cricket20 [7]

1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
$E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J$
So the power output is
$P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W$

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

Zoey ran a total of 1000m. 20 seconds into her run she had traveled 100 meters. What was her speed at 100 meters?

leva [86]

Let's assume that Zoey ran at a constant speed. we can use the equation,
d = st
where, d = distance, s = speed, and t = time taken.

By rearranging,
s = d/t
Zoey had travelled 100 m in 20 seconds.
Hence, s = 100 m / 20 s = 5 m/s

therefore Zoey's speed at 100 m is 5 m/s
