Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?

krok68 [10]

Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_n = 306 N$

Part b)

$v = 12.1 m/s$

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

$mg - F_n = ma_c$

now we will have

$mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}$

now we have

$F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}$

$F_n = 981 - 675$

$F_n = 306 N$

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

$F_n + mg = ma_c$

$F_n = 0$ at minimum speed

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$v = \sqrt{Rg}$

$v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}$

$v = 12.1 m/s$

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

$M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}$

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, $f_e$ is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and $f_o$ is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put $f_o=74 cm$ and $f_e=2.4 cm$ in the above expression.

$M=-\frac{74}{2.4}$

M=-30.83

Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.
