The properties of element 17 are most similar to which of the following elements?

1 answer:

5 0

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetal elements in group 17 of the periodic table. ... Halogens are among the most reactive of all elements. They have seven valence electrons, so they are very “eager” to gain one electron to have a full outer energy level.

A builder drops a brick from a height of 15 m above the ground. The gravitational field strength g is 10 N/ kg. What is the spee

Basile [38]

The speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Since the brick was initially at rest before it was dropped,

Initial Velocity; $u = 0$

Height from which it has dropped; $h = 15m$

Gravitational field strength; $g = 10N/kg = 10 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg} = 10m/s^2$

Final speed of brick as it hits the ground; $v = \ ?$

<h3>Velocity</h3>

velocity is simply the same as the speed at which a particle or object moves. It is the rate of change of position of an object or particle with respect to time. As expressed in the Third Equation of Motion:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh$

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, h is its height or distance from ground and g is gravitational field strength.

To determine the speed of the brick as it hits the ground, we substitute our giving values into the expression above.

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0 + ( 2\ *\ 10m/s^2\ *\ 15m)\\\\v^2 = 300m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{300m^2/s^2}\\ \\v = 17.32m/s$
