Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(a) 5.62 m/s²

(b) 5.46 m/s²

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass,

m = 50 kg

angle

= 35°

(a)

If friction neglected,

⇒ $F_x=mgSin \theta=ma$

⇒ $a_x=gSin \theta$

$=9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}$

$=5.62 \ m/s^2$

(b)

If friction present,

⇒ $F_x=mgCos \theta$

⇒ $F_x=mgSin \theta-\mu_r mgCos \theta$

⇒ $a=gSin \theta-\mu_rgCos \theta$

$=9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}-0.02\times 9.8 \ Cos30^{\circ}$

$=5.46 \ m/s^2$

Answer:

t = 1.659s

Explanation:

We can use the kinematics equations to solve this questions:

v = u + at

$v^{2} = u^{2} +2as$

where v = Final Velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time, s = displacement

a) Given information from the question,

u = $\frac{70km}{h} =\frac{(70*1000)m}{(1*3600)s} = 19.444m/s$ (Convert km/h to m/s first)

a = $2m/s^{2}$

s = 35m

Now we can substitute these values into the 2nd kinematics equation to find v, final velocity.

$v^{2} =(19.444)^{2} +2(2)(35)\\v=\sqrt{(19.444)^{2} +2(2)(35)} \\v= 22.761m/s (5.sf)\\$

b) Now we have the final velocity, we can substitute the values into the first kinematics equation to find t , the time taken.

v = u + at

22.761 = 19.444 + 2t

2t = 22.761 - 19.444

t = $\frac{22.761-19.444}{2}$

t = 1.659s

A machine is supplied energy at a rate of 4,000 W and does useful work at a rate of 3,760 W. What is the efficiency of the machi

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

= (3,760 joule/sec) / (4,000 joule/sec)

= 3,760 / 4,000 = 0.94 = 94%
