On a spacecraft, two engines are turned on for 789 s at a moment when the velocity of the craft has x and y components of v0x =

ddd [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time for which spacecraft turned on is 789 s

$v_{0x}=5410 m/s$

$v_{0y}=8100 m/s$

$x=2.78\times 10^6 m$

$y=4.73\times 10^6 m$

we know $s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$2.78\times 10^6=5410\times 789+\frac{a_x(789)^2}{2}$

$2.78=4.268+a_x\times 0.622$

$a_x=-2.392 m/s^2$

For y component

$s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$4.73\times 10^6=8100\times 789+\frac{a_y(789)^2}{2}$

$4.73=6.39+a_y\times 0.622$

$a_y=-2.66 m/s^2$

Elements that typically give up electrons CHECK ALL THAT APPLY

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. have a lower ionization energy

D. are metals

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Valency can be defined as a measure of the combining power of a chemical element with other atoms to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Typically, valency is measured by the amount of hydrogen atoms that a chemical element can combine with or displace to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Ionization energy can be defined as the minimum energy required to remove or detach an electron from a neutral atom in a gaseous state.

Generally, the ionization energy of chemical elements tend to increase from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This increase is due to the fact that the atomic radius of chemical elements generally decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon) i.e from left to the right of the periodic table. Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

This ultimately implies that, atoms with relatively large atomic radii tend to have a low electron affinity and a low ionization energy.

In conclusion, chemical elements that typically give up electrons are metals because their outermost shell contains excess electrons and have a lower ionization energy.

When the gun fires a projectile with a mass of 0.040 kg and a speed of 380 m/s, what is the recoil velocity of the shotgun and a

ryzh [129]

Complete question:

The recoil of a shotgun can be significant. Suppose a 3.6-kg shotgun is held tightly by an arm and shoulder with a combined mass of 15.0 kg. When the gun fires a projectile with a mass of 0.040 kg and a speed of 380 m/s, what is the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination?

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination is 1.013 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

combined mass of the shotgun and arm–shoulder, m₁ = 15 kg

mass of the projectile, m₂ = 0.04 kg

speed of the projectile, u₂ = 380 m/s

let the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination = u₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = 0

m₁u₁ = - m₂u₂

$u_1 = -\frac{m_2u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = - \frac{0.04\times 380}{15} \\\\u_1 =-1.013 \ m/s\\\\u_1 = 1.013 \ m/s \ \ \ in \ opposite \ direction$

Therefore, the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination is 1.013 m/s

A skateboarder skates down a ramp for 3 seconds. If his initial velocity was 0.8 m/s and · his final velocity was 7 m/s, what wa

Contact [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the skateboarder is 2.067 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the skateboarder, u = 0.8 m/s

final velocity of the skateboarder, v = 7 m/s

time of motion, t = 3 s

The acceleration of the skateboarder is given as;

$a = \frac{v-u}{t}\\\\a = \frac{7-0.8}{3}\\\\a = 2.067 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the skateboarder is 2.067 m/s²
