Answer:

The valence electrons determine an atom's reactivity.

Explanation:

The valence electrons is the electrons on the most outer layer of an atom. The higher the number of valence electrons, the bigger the reactivity of the atom. This means that when that atom is put with another substance and it reacts, it would react in a much more violent way than another atom with lower valence electrons.

The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$5.94\ \text{m/s}$

$1.7$

$0.577$

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}$

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is $5.94\ \text{m/s}$

Length of the slide is given by

$l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}$

$v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}$

The force energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $1.7$ .

For static friction

$\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577$

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is $0.577$ .

A flow is isentropically expanded to supersonic speeds in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The reservoir and exit pressures are 1.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Ae/A* = 1.115

Explanation:

Let the reservoir pressure be $p_0$

Let the exit pressure be $p_e$

Ratio of reservoir pressure and exit pressure

$\frac{p_o}{p_e} = \frac{1}{0.3143}$

= 3.182

For the above value of pressure ratio

Obtain the area ratio from the isentropic flow table

Ae/A* = 1.115

The value of pressure ratio is Ae/A* = 1.115

Some people say you can get HIV from insect bites. True or false? Why?

Murljashka [212]

The answer is False because HIV spreads through contact between HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids and broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner enters the HIV-negative partner's bloodstream.
