True, they represent the direction of motion
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.
Answer:
- apples falling from trees
- people's feet touching the ground
- sky divers moving toward the ground
- balls bending downward after being thrown
Explanation:
When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.
This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2
=1/2(25)(1^2)
= 12.5J
