Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

In the given problem, a basketball rolls to a stop along a gym floor without anyone touching it.

The basketball stops own its own because of the force of friction. Friction is a force which opposes the motion of the object. The direction of the force of friction is in an opposite direction to the motion of the object.

The frictional force will act between the basket ball and the floor.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Using Newton's third law of motion, explain what happens when you let an untied balloon go.
mash [69]

Answer:

balloon pushes you back

Explanation:

3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

So, when you let go of the balloon it's pushed forward so the balloon pushes you back

Which statement is true about effective nuclear charge?a. Effective nuclear charge decreases as we move to the right across a ro
MissTica

Answer:

Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table

Explanation:

The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.

The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.

Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.

  • As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.

In an insulated vessel, a quantity of hot water at temperature T1 is mixed with a different quantity of cold water at temperatur
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:Water Only

Explanation:

Given

vessel is insulated therefore no heat can be added or removed i.e. heat exchange is zero

If hot water at T_1 is mixed with cold water at T_2 then at equilibrium vessel contains only water and final temperature of water will be between T_1 and T_2

Heat released by hot water is equal to heat gain by cold water .
