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.

katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

a. Average speed = distance / time

= 100 m / 70 s

= 1.43 m/s

b. Average displacement = displacement / time

= 0 m / 70 s

= 0 m/s

Distance is the length of the path traveled.  Displacement is the difference between the final position and initial position.

A packing crate slides down an inclined ramp at constant velocity. Thus we can deduce thatA) a frictional force is acting on itb
torisob [31]

Answer:

A) a frictional force is acting on it

Explanation:

The crate is sliding down the inclined ramp at constant velocity: constant velocity means zero acceleration, a = 0. According to Newton's second law:

F = ma

this also means that the net force acting along the direction of the slope is zero.

Without frictional force, there would be only one force acting along this direction: the component of the weight of the crane parallel to the slope, acting downward:

W_p = mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the incline. Therefore, the net force along this direction would not be zero. In order to have a net force of zero, there must be another force acting upward on the crate: and the only force that is possibly acting on the crate against its direction of motion is the frictional force, whose magnitude must be equal to W_p, in order to produce a net force of zero (and therefore, a zero acceleration).

Calculate the mass of air of density 1.2kgm-3 in a room of dimensions 8m by 6m by 4m.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

230.4kg

Explanation:

volume of the room = l× b×h

volume= 8×6×4

volume=192m3

density= mass/volume

hence mass= density × volume

mass= 1.2kgm-3 × 192m3

mass= 230.4kg
