is the outer electron in potassium more or less strongly attracted to the positive nucleus than the outer electron in sodium is?

Answer:

Less strongly attracted.

Explanation:

Potassium and sodium are both alkali metals. That means that they have the ability to be able to gather more valence electrons. They will both gain a positive particle. The potassium electron is less attracted because of the fact that now the sodium has a positive chargem and the electron has a negative charge.

Use the work—energy theorem to solve each of these problems. You can use Newton's laws to check your answers. Neglect air resist

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a) It is moving at $43.15\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ when reaches the ground.

b) It is moving at $101.44\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ when reaches the ground.

Explanation:

Work energy theorem states that the total work on a body is equal its change in kinetic energy, this is:

$W=K_f-K_i$ (1)

with W the total work, Ki the initial kinetic energy and Kf the final kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$ (2)

with m the mass and v the velocity.

Using (2) on (1):

$W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$ (3)

In both cases the total work while the objects are in the air is the work gravity field does on them. Work is force times the displacement, so in our case is weight (w=mg) of the object times displacement (d):

$W=Fd=wd=mgd$ (4)

Using (4) on (3):

$mgd=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$ (5)

That's the equation we're going to use on a) and b).

a) Because the branch started form rest initial velocity (vi) is equal zero, using this and solving (5) for final velocity:

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2mgd}{m}}=\sqrt{2gd}=\sqrt{2*9.8*95}$

$v_f=43.15\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

b) In this case the final velocity of the boulder is instantly zero when it reaches its maximum height, another important thing to note is that in this case work is negative because weight is opposing boulder movement, so we should use -mgd:

$-mgd=-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$

Solving for initial velocity (when the boulder left the volcano):

$v_i=\sqrt{\frac{2mgd}{m}}=\sqrt{2gd}=\sqrt{2*9.8*525}$

$v_i=101.44 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Is pine mountain ga a destructive or constructive force?

pochemuha

<span>A mountain is a type of constructive force. This is because the mountains are formed (or "constructed") through the convergence of land plates. When the two (or more) plates come together, they cause the land at the fault line to shift upward, leading to the formation of mountains.</span>

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg, have the same momentum as a 1400 kg car traveling at 6

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Momentum of car

Given: Mass m= 1,400 Kg; V = 6.0 m/s

Formula: P = mv

P = (1,400 Kg)(6.0 m/s)

P = 8,400 Kg.m/s

Velocity of the rider to have the same momentum as a car.

Mass of rider and bicycle m = 100 Kg

P = mv

V = P/m

V = 8,400 Kg.m/s/100 Kg

V = 84 m/s

light of a wavelength 600 nm shines on a soap bubble film. For what soap film thickness will destructive interference occur

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of light, λ = 600 nm

The minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is given by;

$t = \frac{\lambda/n}{2}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}$

where;

n is refractive index of soap film = 1.33

$t = \frac{\lambda}{2n} \\\\t = \frac{600*10^{-9}}{2(1.33)}\\\\t = 2.2556 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\t = 225.56 \ nm$

Therefore, the minimum thickness of the soap bubble for destructive interference to occur is 225.56 nm.
