Answer:

Explanation:

None of the other answers matter but the right answer which A. Silicon has an outer shell of 4. Carbon can connect with 4 elements because of its outer shell. CH4 is the simplest example. But C2H6 is also possible.

H H

H - C - C - H

H H

There are 4 connections to the outside world for the Carbon (C) on the left.

It has 3 hydrogens connected on to it and one of its connecting electrons goes with the other carbon on the right.

Silicon can do the same thing.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

893 Newtons

Explanation:

m = Mass of Usain Bolt = 94 kg

a = Acceleration of Usain Bolt in the first 0.89 seconds = 9.5 m/s²

From Newton's Second law

Force

$F=ma$

$\\\Rightarrow F=94\times 9.5$

$\\\Rightarrow F=893\ N$

The average horizontal force exerted by Bolt against the ground during the first 0.890 s of the race is 893 Newtons

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$a=(6.8)\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

An object starts from rest at the origin (x₀ = 0) and travels in a straight line with a constant acceleration (a = constant).

The relation between the position (x) and time (t) is given by :

$x=(3.4t^2)\ m/s^2$

Let v is the velocity of the object.

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$v=\dfrac{d(3.4t^2)}{dt}$

$v=(6.8t)\ m/s$

Let a is the acceleration of the object. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$a=\dfrac{d(6.8t)}{dt}$

$a=(6.8)\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the object is $(6.8)\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
