Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

p

and is also equal to force times time:

I

=

F

t

. Rearranging,

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

t

=

0

−

.

Explanation:

Momentum before the collision is

p

=

m

v

=

2000

⋅

=

.

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

0

k

g

m

s

−

The change in momentum,

Δ

p

, is initial minus final

→

0

−

000

=

This is called the impulse:

I

=

Δ

p

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

I

=

F

t

.

We can rearrange this expression to make

F

the subject:

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

t

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

Answer:

The correct option is;

Sphere I is positively charged and sphere II is negatively charged

Explanation:

The charging of the spheres by induction is achieved by introducing a charge to the metal spheres that are insulated from the ground to prevent loss of charge by placing them on insulating stand

The two spheres are brought into contact by the connection of a conducting wire between the spheres I and II

The presence of the positively charged sphere III draws attracts electrons towards sphere II while the net positive charge moves towards sphere I

While the spheres I and II are still polarized, the conducting wire is removed  while the presence of sphere III continues to keep sphere II negative compared to sphere I

After removing the connecting wire, sphere III is removed leaving the excess negative charge on sphere II and the excess positive charge on sphere I

The net charges then evenly redistribute themselves on each sphere creating two oppositely charged spheres.

Resonance structures have _______ connectivity of atoms and _______ distribution of electrons.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Resonance structures have <u> </u><u>same</u><u>  </u>  connectivity of atoms and <u> differ only in</u> distribution of electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms supply the electrons from their outer electron shells. Electrons are found free in nature and are grouped around the nucleus into shells. Electrons can be further explained as negatively charged subatomic particle. Electrons have properties of both particles and waves and they can be moved around.

Resonance structures are imaginary structures and not all of them are created equally. Resonance structures have two or more possible electron structures, and, the resonance structures for a particular substance sometimes have different energy and stability. When resonance structures are identical, they are important descriptions  of the molecule. The position of the atoms is the same in the various resonance structures of a compound, but the electrons are distributed differently around the structure.

Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict th
nadezda [96]
That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.

Suppose a ray of light traveling in a material with an index of refraction n a reaches an interface with a material having an in
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D
