Answer:

B. Observation

Explanation:

Using a thermometer to read the temperature of a solution is tantamount to the making an observation.

Observation are recorded using our senses of sight, taste, earing, feeling etc or by the use of instrument.

Through observation, data is usually collected to make inferences about an experiment.
An observation leads to the formulation of a hypothesis which is scientific guess that leads to experimental designs.
Conclusions are drawn from the information of data obtained from an experiment.

A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 21.4 m/s in the y direction when one of its onboard thruster turn

kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 24.177 meters per second.

b) The direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 62.266º.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. The complete description is now described below:

A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 21.4 m/s in the y direction when one of its onboard thruster turns on, causing an acceleration of 0.250 m/s2 in the x direction. The acceleration lasts for 45.0 s, at which point the thruster turns off.

(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off

(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis. ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

Let be x and y-directions orthogonal to each other and the satellite is accelerated uniformly from rest in the +x direction and moves at constant velocity in the +y direction. The velocity vector of the satellite ( $\vec{v}_{S}$ ), measured in meters per second, is:

$\vec{v}_{S} = (v_{o,x}+a_{x}\cdot t)\,\hat{i}+v_{y}\,\hat{j}$

Where:

$v_{o,x}$ - Initial velocity in +x direction, measured in meters per second.

$a_{x}$ - Acceleration in +x direction, measured in meter per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$v_{y}$ - Velocity in +y direction, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $v_{o,x} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a_{x} = 0.250\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $t = 45\,s$ and $v_{y} = 21.4\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the final velocity of the satellite is:

$\vec{v}_{S} = \left[0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(0.250\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (45\,s) \right]\,\hat{i}+\left(21.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\,\hat{j}$

$\vec{v_{S}} = 11.25\,\hat{i}+21.4\,\hat{j}\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]$

a) The magnitud of the satellite's velocity can be found by the resource of the Pythagorean Theorem:

$\|\vec {v}_{S}\| = \sqrt{\left(11.25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(21.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$\|\vec{v}_{S}\| \approx 24.177\,\frac{m}{s}$

The magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 24.177 meters per second.

b) The direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is determined with the help of trigonometric functions:

$\tan \alpha = \frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}} = \frac{21.4\,\frac{m}{s} }{11.25\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\tan \alpha = 1.902$

$\alpha = \tan^{-1}1.902$

$\alpha \approx 62.266^{\circ}$

The direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 62.266º.

What is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium,se, and the number of electrons in an atom of alum

Daniel [21]

Selenium has 36 electrons34(atomic number) + 2(amount of electrons gained in the ion, has a 2- charge) = 36
To identify the number of electrons an element has, all you need is a periodic table. Identify the atomic number (the smallest of the 2 numbers in the box). That number will be the number of protons which is also the number of electrons.
*number Atoms of all elements are made up of three primary particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The "sub-atomic" particles each have specific properties that such as size, electrical charge, etc. that are crucial for the stability of the atom. The particles break down like this: Particle Relative size Charge Location How to determine

Proton 1 + in the nucleus # of protons= element's atomic # (use periodic table)

Electron 0 - outside nucleus # of electrons=# of protons(in neutral, "normal" atom)

Neutron 1 0 in the nucleus Must be told or given (ie. can vary--isotopes--

for small elements most common form often

consists of isotope where #protons=#neutrons) Aluminum has 13 electrons because it needs 13 negative charges to balance the 13 postively-charged protons (which is what the periodic table told us it contains). This will make the Aluminum atom electrically neutral.

In atoms, electrons surround the nucleus in

nasty-shy [4]

In atoms, electrons surround the nucleus in specific energy levels.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Atom, actually considered as the tiny part that is ever present in this universe. Many theories and experiments were conducted, for studying what was present inside of an atom, and many theories came into light.

And finally, Bohr-Sommerfeld Theory stated the final conclusion, that the positive charge is at the centre of the nucleus, and all the electrons revolve in their specific energy levels. If an atom wants to move to lower energy state, it should emit energy, whereas for going to higher state, it should gain energy.
