The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.

Answer:

Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.Explanation:

A comet is traveling through space with speed 3.01 ✕ 104 m/s when it encounters an asteroid that was at rest. The comet and the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 8.493(10)^{-3} m/s

Explanation:

According to the conservation of linear momentum principle, the initial momentum p_{i} (before the collision) must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} (after the collision):

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

In addition, the initial momentum is:

p_{i}=m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2} (2)

Where:

m_{1}=1.71(10)^{14} kg is the mass of the comet

m_{2}=6.06(10)^{20} kg is the mass of the asteroid

V_{1}=3.01(10)^{4} m/s is the velocity of the comet, which is positive

V_{2}=0 m/s is the velocity of the asteroid, since it is at rest

And the final momentum is:

p_{f}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f} (3)

Where:

V_{f} is the final velocity

Then :

m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f} (4)

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(1.71(10)^{14} kg)(3.01(10)^{4} m/s)}{1.71(10)^{14} kg+6.06(10)^{20} kg}

Finally:

V_{f}=8.493(10)^{-3} m/s This is the final velocity, which is also in the positive direction.

Two small balls, each of mass 5.0 g, are attached to silk threads 50 cm long, which are in turn tied to the same point on the ce
Rama09 [41]

In triangle ABC

Sin5 = BC/AC

BC = (AC) Sin5

BC = (50) Sin5 = 4.36 cm

r = distance between the two balls = 2 BC = 2 x 4.36 = 8.72 cm = 0.0872 m

q = charge on each ball

m = mass of each ball = 5 g = 0.005 kg

electric force between the two balls is given as

F = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

T Cos5 = mg eq-2

Using equilibrium of force in horizontal direction

T Sin5 = F eq-3

dividing eq-3 by eq-2

T Sin5 /(T Cos5) = F/mg

F = mg tan5

using eq-1

\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}} = mg tan5

inserting the values

\frac{(9 \times 10^{9})q^{2}}{(0.0872)^{2}} = 0.005 x 9.8

q = 2.03 x 10⁻⁷ C

sign of charge is same on both the balls. either it is negative or positive
