An element which is highly conductive, highly reactive, soft, and lustrous is most likely an alkali metal.

Alkali metals are in group 1 of the Periodic table which means that they have only a single valence electron.

This causes them to be soft and highly reactive because:

The single valance electron leads to weak bonds amongst the element's atoms which makes them soft
The elements want to lose the single valance electron so as to become stable so they will react with other elements to give away the electron.

Examples of alkali electrons include:

Lithium
Sodium
Potassium etc

In conclusion therefore, alkali metals are highly reactive and soft and so the element described above is most likely an alkali metal.

At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.30 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is

Triss [41]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Explanation:

Suppose, A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 50.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal.

Given that,

Mass of steel block = 2.30 kg

Mass of ball = 0.500 kg

Length of cord = 50.0 cm

We need to calculate the initial speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgl$

$v=\sqrt{2gl}$

Put the value into the formula

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times50.0\times10^{-2}}$

$u=3.13\ m/s$

The initial speed of the ball $u_{1}=3.13\ m/s$

The initial speed of the block $u_{2}=0$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the ball after collision

Using formula of collision

$v_{1}=(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{2m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=(\dfrac{0.5-2.30}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13$

$v_{1}=-2.01\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of initial direction.

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the block after collision

Using formula of collision

$v_{2}=(\dfrac{2m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{2}=(\dfrac{2\times0.5}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13+0$

$v_{2}=1.11\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Which statements describe vectors?

laila [671]

Answer:

Vectors have a size and direction. Each of the existing vector quantity has a magnitude and a direction. Having direction along with the magnitude is the difference of a vector quantity from a scalar quantity. Vectors are indicates with arrows.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is $T = 0.700 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m = 0.350 \ kg$

The extension of the spring is $x = 12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m$

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

$F = mg = 0.350 * 9.8$

$F =3.43 \ N$

$k = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}$

$k = 28.583 \ N/m$

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

substituting values

$T = 2 * 3.142* \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }$

$T = 0.700 \ s$

When the cylinder is displaced slightly along its vertical axis it will oscillate about its equilibrium position with a frequenc

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

Explanation:

We can simulate this system as a physical pendulum, which is a pendulum with a distributed mass, in this case the angular velocity is

w² = mg d / I

In this case, the distance d to the pivot point of half the length (L) of the cylinder, which we consider long and narrow

d = L / 2

The moment of inertia of a cylinder with respect to an axis at the end we can use the parallel axes theorem, it is approximately equal to that of a long bar plus the moment of inertia of the center of mass of the cylinder, this is tabulated

I = ¼ m r2 + ⅓ m L2

I = m (¼ r2 + ⅓ L2)

now let's use the concept of density to calculate the mass of the system

ρ = m / V

m = ρ V

the volume of a cylinder is

V = π r² L

m = ρ π r² L

let's substitute

w² = m g (L / 2) / m (¼ r² + ⅓ L²)

w² = g L / (½ r² + 2/3 L²)

L >> r

w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE
