Are noble gases nonreactive elements?

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Noble gases are nonreactive elements.

Explanation:

We call Group 18 of the Periodic Table "Noble gases" because they are inert gases. They do not like to bond with other elements.

The reason why is because their outermost shell for electrons is full. These electrons, called valence electrons, are are completely maxed out and therefore makes the element stable. This in turn makes it so that it doesn't really bond with other elements.

Which changes of state occur between solids and gases ?

Reil [10]

Changes of State: Solids, Liquids, and Gases. A snowman, glass of water and steam might look very different but they are made of the same stuff! Just like any substance, water can exist in three different forms, called states: solid, liquid and gas. The state will change when the substance is heated.

A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 2.0 rev/srev/s . The wheel can be consi

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:1.7 rev/s

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of wheel $N_1=2\ rev/s$

angular speed $\omega_1=2\pi N_1=4\pi\ rad/s$

mass of wheel $m_1=4.5\ kg$

diameter of wheel $d_1=0.30\ m=30\ cm$

radius of wheel $r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15\ cm$

mass of clay $m_2=2.8\ kg$

the radius of the chunk of clay $r_2=8\ cm$

Moment of inertia of Wheel

$I_1=\dfrac{m_1r_1^2}{2}=\dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}\ kg-cm^2$

Combined moment of inertia of wheel and clay chunk

$I_2=\dfrac{m_1r_1^2}{2}+\dfrac{m_2r_2^2}{2}=\dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}+\dfrac{2.8\times 8^2}{2}\ kg-cm^2$

Conserving angular momentum

$\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}\cdot 4\pi=(\dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}+\dfrac{2.8\times 8^2}{2})\omega_2\\\\\Rightarrow \omega _2=\dfrac{4\pi }{1+\dfrac{2.8}{4.5}\times (\dfrac{8}{15})^2}=\dfrac{4\pi}{1+0.1769}=0.849\times 4\pi$

Common frequency of wheel and chunk of clay is

$\Rightarrow N_2=\dfrac{4\pi \times 0.849}{2\pi}=1.698\approx 1.7\ rev/s$

If you push on the wall with a force of 400 N, what is the magnitude of the force at the wall exerts on you?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

Due to action-Reaction, the wall pushes back on the person with a force of equal magnitude and in opposite direction to the force exerted by the person.

So the magnitude must be also 400 N.

Which statement best describes why an island food web could be considered a closed system

iris [78.8K]

B. Energy enters and exits the system matter does not

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, there are three types of system:

Open system: it is a system that exchanges both matter and energy with the surroundings - an example is an open bottle
Closed system: it is a system that exchanges only matter with the surroundings, while energy cannot enter and exit the system - an example is a closed bottle (air cannot enter/exit the bottle, but heat can be exchanged through the walls of the bottle)
Isolated system: it is a system that cannot exchange matter or energy with the surroundings - an example is a sealed thermic container (heat cannot pass through the walls)

In this problem, we are asked to identify which statement best describes the island food web as a closed system: based on the definitions above, we can say that the correct option is

B. Energy enters and exits the system matter does not
