What happens to atoms as you move across the periods on the periodic table?

1 answer:

3 0

As you move across a period, the atomic mass increases because the atomic number also increases. When the atomic number increases, this means that there are more protons and neutrons that add to the atomic mass of an atom

To get a feeling for inertial forces discuss the familiar cases of accelerating in a car in a straight line while increasing or

inn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we accelerate in a car on a straight path we tend to lean backward because our lower body part which is directly in contact with the seat of the car gets accelerated along with it but the upper the upper body experiences this force later on due to its own inertia. This force is accordance with Newton's second law of motion and is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the upper body part.

Conversely we lean forward while the speed decreases and the same phenomenon happens in the opposite direction.

While changing direction in car the upper body remains in its position due to inertia but the lower body being firmly in contact with the car gets along in the direction of the car, seems that it makes the upper body lean in the opposite direction of the turn.

On abrupt change in the state of motion the force experienced is also intense in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion.

A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of 31 ft/s from a height of 40 ft. (a) What is its speed just before it s

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a. 41.96ft/s

b. 1.096s

Explanation:

a. v²=u²+2gs

v²=31²+2×10×40

V=41.96ft/s

b. t=(v-u) /g

t=(41.96-31)/10

t=1.096s

If a car accelerates uniformly from rest to 15 meters

Talja [164]

Answer:

1.125m/s^2

Explanation:

Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically

v^2= u^2+2as

Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.

a = ?

u = 0m/s

v = 15m/s

s = 100m

Substituting the values into the formula above

v^2= u^2+2as

15^2=0^2+2×a×100

225= 0+200a

225= 200a

Divide both sides by 200

225/200 = 200a/200

a= 1.125m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.

Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s

"Giant Swing", the seat is connected to two cables as shown in the figure (Figure 1) , one of which is horizontal. The seat swin

Bingel [31]

The horizontal force is m*v²/Lh, where m is the total mass. The vertical force is the total weight (233 + 840)N.

Fx = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 

v = 32.3*2*π*7.5/60 m/s = 25.37 m/s 

The horizontal component of force from the cables is Th + Ti*sin40º and the vertical component of force from the cable is Ta*cos40º 

Thh horizontal and vertical forces must balance each other. First the vertical components: 

233 + 840 = Ti*cos40º 

solve for Ti. (This is the answer to the part b) 

Horizontally 

[(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 = Th + Ti*sin40º 

Solve for Th 

Th = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 - Ti*sin40º 

using v and Ti computed above.
