Answer:
The electrons in oxygen are paired while in nitrogen, they are not.
Explanation:
To analyse this we start with writing out the ground state electronic configurations for both elements.
Oxygen: 1s²2s²2p4 meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons ↑↓ ↑ ↑
Nitrogen : 1s²2s²2p³ meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons ↑ ↑ ↑
Clearly the paired electron in oxygen will be experiencing repulsion from the electron it shares an orbital with causing it to be removed easily. The electrons in nitrogen are unpaired, each orbital is singly occupied
Unbalanced force.
The definition of an unbalanced force is a force that changes the position, speed or direction of the object to which it is applied.
When an object is still it means that is is balanced force. So you would need to add more force to another side to make it move. Which is unbalanced force.
D. Light from the sun is reflected off the moon's surface
Answer:
L₀ = L_f , K_f < K₀
Explanation:
For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.
This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.
Initial instant. Before the crash
L₀ = I₀ w₀
Final moment. Right after the crash
L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w
we treat the clay sphere as a point particle
how the angular momentum is conserved
L₀ = L_f
I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w
w = 
w₀
having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy
starting point. Before the crash
K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²
final point. After the crash
K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²
sustitute
K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) ( w₀)²
Kf = ½ 
w₀²
we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy
=
K_f < K₀
we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision
I was going to beg off until tomorrow, but this one is nothing like those others.
Why, at only 40km/hr, we can ignore any relativistic correction, and just go with Newton.
To put a finer point on it, let's give the car a direction. Say it's driving North.
a). From the point of view of the car, its driver, and passengers if any,
the pole moves past them, heading south, at 40 km/hour .
b). From the point of view of the pole, and any bugs or birds that may be
sitting on it at the moment, the car and its contents whiz past them, heading
north, at 40 km/hour.
c). A train, steaming North at 80 km/hour on a track that exactly parallels
the road, overtakes and passes the car at just about the same time as
the drama in (a) and (b) above is unfolding.
The rail motorman, fireman, and conductor all agree on what they have
seen. From their point of view, they see the car moving south at 40 km/hr,
and the pole moving south at 80 km/hr.
Now follow me here . . .
The car and the pole are both seen to be moving south. BUT ... Since the
pole is moving south faster than the car is, it easily overtakes the car, and
passes it . . . going south.
That's what everybody on the train sees.
==============================================
Finally ... since you posed this question as having something to do with your
fixation on Relativity, there's one more question that needs to be considered
before we can put this whole thing away:
You glibly stated in the question that the car is driving along at 40 km/hour ...
AS IF we didn't need to know with respect to what, or in whose reference frame.
Now I ask you ... was that sloppy or what ? ! ?
Of course, I came along later and did the same thing with the train, but I am
not here to make fun of myself ! Only of others.
The point is . . . the whole purpose of this question, obviously, is to get the student accustomed to the concept that speed has no meaning in and of itself, only relative to something else. And if the given speed of the car ...40 km/hour ... was measured relative to anything else but the ground on which it drove, as we assumed it was, then all of the answers in (a) and (b) could have been different.
And now I believe that I have adequately milked this one for 50 points worth.
