Answer:

O2 has two more electrons compared to N2, with extra 2 electrons in the higher energy anti-bonding orbitals known as Diradical. These electrons have higher energy and are unpaired; therefore, O2 is more reactive

Answer:

O B. Oxygen needs to gain only 2 electrons to have a full octet, while nitrogen needs to gain 3.

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 10.0 kg kg solid cylinder with diameter of 38.0 cm cm . The cylinder rotates with

amm1812

Answer: 14.16

Explanation:

Given

d = 38cm

r = d/2 = 38/2 = 19cm = 0.19m

K.E = 510J

m = 10kg

I = 1/2mr²

I = 1/2*10*0.19²

I = 0.18kgm²

When it has 510J of Kinetic Energy then,

510J = 1/2Iω²

ω² = 1020/I

ω² = 1020/0.18

ω² = 5666.67

ω = √5666.67 = 75.28 rad/s

Velocity is the block, v = ωr

V = 75.28 * 0.19

V = 14.30m/s

The "effective mass" M of the system is

M = (14.0 + ½*10.0) kg = 19.0 kg

The motive force would be

F = ma

F = 14 * 9.8

F = 137.2N

so that the acceleration would be

a = F/m

a = 137.2/19

a = 7.22m/s²

Finally, using equation of motion.

V² = u² + 2as

14.3² = 0 + 2*7.22*s

204.49 = 14.44s

s = 204.49/14.44

s = 14.16m

. A student claims that if lighting strikes a metal flagpole, the force exerted by the Earth’s magnetic field on the current in

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, current generated from lightning range from

10⁴ A < I < 10^5 A

We know that,

The magnetic force is given as

F = iLB

The magnetic field on the earth surface is

B = 10^-5 T

So, let assume the worst case of a 15m flag pole

L = 15m

Then,

F = iLB

F = 10^5 × 10 × 10^-5

F = 15 N

Therefore, 15N is fairly strong so it will come to the material that was use for the material of the flag pole.

Therefore, it is possible that the student is right depending on the material of the flag pole.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane. You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

$K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}$

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature
