Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Physics

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz

What is the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference?
sladkih [1.3K]

The amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance?</h3>

The capacitance has to do with the amount of charge that is stored by a capacitor. We know that a capacitor is a device that can be used to store electric charges. We have in it, two capacitors separated by a dielectric material.

Hence, the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

A camera operator is filming a nature explorer in the Rocky Mountains. The explorer needs to swim across a river to his campsite
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<em>a. Angle= 28.82°</em>

<em>b. Approved. He will get cold but he should be able to make it across</em>

Explanation:

Velocity Vector

The velocity is a physical quantity that measures how fast or slow at a particular direction some object is moving. It must be expressed as a vector with both a magnitude and direction. If the object is confined to move in one direction, then we can use the speed as the scalar (magnitude only) equivalent of the velocity.

a.

The explorer wants to swim across a river to his campsite, as shown in the image below. The river has a velocity vr and the explorer can swim at ve in still water. If he swam directly to the campsite, he would end up in a point below it because the river would push him down. He must swim with a velocity such that he overcomes the stream but he advances to its objective. Let's call the angle he must swim at respect to the shoreline to achieve his goal. The explorer's velocity can be decomposed in its rectangular components vx and vy. To overcome the river's velocity:

v_{ey}=v_r

We can compute the vertical component of the explorer's velocity as

v_{ey}=|v_e|cos\alpha

Thus

v_r=|v_e|cos\alpha

Solving for \alpha

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_r}{|v_e|}

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{0.665}{0.759}=0.876

Then we have the angle is

\alpha=28.82^o

b.

The horizontal component of the explorer's velocity is

v_{ex}=0.759sin28.82^o

v_{ex}=0.366\ m/s

This is the real velocity the explorer is having directly to the campsite

Knowing that

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{v}

Calculating the time it takes the explorer to cross the river

\displaystyle t=\frac{29.3}{0.366}

t=80\ sec

Since this value is less than the limit value of hypothermia (300 sec), the decision is

Approved. He will get cold but he should be able to make it across
