Lucia is playing with magnetic toy vehicles. She has two identical toy vehicles (purple and pink) that start on opposite sides o
f a center magnet that cannot move. She moves both vehicles one space closer to the center magnet. How did the potential energy of the two vehicles change? Did the potential energy of one vehicle change more than the other? Why do you think so?
The potential energy of the two vehicles increased because they were moved against the magnatic forces. The potential energy of the pink car increased more then the potential energy of the purple car because the pink car was closer to the center magnet.
Explanation: I had this same exact question on a quiz and this was my response and I got a 100%
The potential energy of both toy vehicles (purple and pink) decreased. Since the pink toy was moved closer to the magnet, it will have less potential energy because of the short distance it will take to travel to the magnet. Although the purple toy is now closer to the magnet, it is still pretty far and will have a somewhat big potential energy when traveling to the magnet.
Explanation:
Hey, I'm in middle school and I had the same question for a science test, I'm not sure if I am correct but this is what I have.
Answer: The elements that have the lowest electronegativity are the VIII A elements or noble gases. These elements have a theoretical electronegativity of zero. These elements are stable in their electron configuration there is not force moving the noble gases to gain any electrons.
Hydrogen bromide, anhydrous appears as a colorless gas with a pungent irritating odor. Corrosive. Heavier than air. Prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat may result in the violent rupture and rocketing of the container. Long-term exposure to low concentrations or short-term exposure to high concentrations can result in adverse health effects from inhalation. Used to make other chemicals and as a catalyst in the manufacture of chemicals. Rate of onset: Immediate Persistence: Minutes to hours Odor threshold: 2 ppm Source/use/other hazard: Chemical manufacturing industry; very corrosive.
