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 Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at 620 k takes in 550 J of heat at this temperature in each cycle and gives
yarga [219]

Answer:

(a) W=217 J

(b) Tc=378K

(c) e=0.39=39%

Explanation:

For part (a)

We to calculate the mechanical work W the engine  does. By knowing QC and QH can obtain the work using equation  

W = IQHI — IQcl  .....................eq(1)

Put given values for QH and QC into equation (1) to get  

the mechanical work of the engine  

W = 550 - 335  

W=217 J

For part (b)

We want to determine the temperature of low temperature  reservoir which means Tc  

IQc|/|Qh| =TC/TH  

for Tc  

Tc=(IQc|/|Qh|)*TH

Now we can put values

Tc= 620K  (335/ 550.1)  

Tc=378K  

For part (c)

Here we want to find the thermal efficiency (e) of the cycle

e=1-TC/TH

e=1-(378/620)

e=0.39=39%

What do lenses do?
Dovator [93]
A convex lens makes light rays converge (come together) at the focal point or focus. The distance from the center of the lens to the focal point is the focal length of the lens. Convex lenses are used in things like telescopes and binoculars to bring distant light rays to a focus in your eyes.

please write the definition of instantaneous speed, velocity and acceleration and solve problems on them please show workings​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

instantaneous speed: The instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment in time. And if you include the direction with that speed, you get the instantaneous velocity. In other words, eight meters per second to the right was the instantaneously velocity of this person at that particular moment in time.

velocity: the speed of something in a given direction.

acceleration: a vehicle's capacity to gain speed within a short time.

solve problems: Problem solving consists of using generic or ad hoc methods in an orderly manner to find solutions to problems.
