1 answer:

5 0

The electromagnetic spectrum is the system of frequencies that show electromagnetic radiation, respective wavelengths, and photon energies. Some examples of frequencies found on the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances

padilas [110]

Answer D
In alkali earth metals reacrivity increases from top to bottom (opposite of b)
This is because as you go down, the electron shells increase by 1 shell. The farther away a shell is from the nucleus, the higher its tendency to react.
D is true because the more reactive an alkali metal is, the more vigorous the reaction will be with water.

a gym consists of a rectangular region with a semi-circle on each end. if the perimeter of the room is to be a 200 m running tra

Nikolay [14]

The dimensions of the rectangle are:

l = 50 m

b = $100/\pi$ m

<h3>What is a perimeter in math?</h3>

The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides.

<h3>How do we find a perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle,denoted by P is given by the formula, P=2l+2b, where l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.

<h3>Given:</h3>

As per the question:

Perimeter of the room is given as P = 200 m

The region is rectangular having a semicircle at each end.

Now,

Let 'l' be the length of the rectangle, 'b' be its breadth and 'r' be the radius of the semi-circle at each end.

Then, Area of the given rectangle, A = lb

Perimeter of the room, P is = $\pi r+l+\pi r+l=2\pi r+2l=\pi b+2l$

Therefore, $\pi b+2l=200$

$b=(200-2l)/\pi$

Now,

Area, A = $l(200-2l)/\pi=(200l-2l^{2} )/\pi$

Now, differentiate A w.r.t l:

Again differentiating w.r.t 'l', we get:

$d^{2} A/dl^{2} =-4l/\pi$ < 0

Thus we get maximum are when $dA/dl=0$

Therefore,

$(200-4l)/\pi=0$

l = 50 m

Now, from

$\pi b+2l=200$

$\pi b=200-2*50$

$b=100/\pi$

$r=b/2=50/\pi$

A 9 newtwon charge is Felt on a (1x10^-4) C charge from another charge that is 3 meters away. What is the magnitude of that othe

Marina86 [1]

The magnitude of that other charge will be 9×10⁻⁵ C. The force on the charge is inverse of the distance.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The magnitude of that other charge is found as;

$\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\ \rm 9 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 1\times 10^{-4}\times q_2}{(3)^2} \\\\ q_2=9\times 10^{-5} \ C$

Hence, the magnitude of that other charge will be 9×10⁻⁵ C.
