Answer:

Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells; moving across a period (so progressing from group to group), elements gain electrons and protons and become less metallic. This arrangement reflects the periodic recurrence of similar properties as the atomic number increases.

Explanation:

The Periodic Table can predict the properties of new elements, because it organizes the elements according to their atomic numbers. ... They hope that the two nuclei at the centre of these atoms will fuse and form a heavier nucleus. When these heavy elements form, they are usually highly unstable.

A ball moving with an initial velocity of 5 m/s comes to rest after 2s. What was the ball's acceleration?

Inga [223]

Answer:

-2.5m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by

a = Δv / t ----------------(i)

Where;

a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity (measure in m/s)

t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))

From the question;

i. initial velocity = 5m/s

final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]

Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s

ii. time taken = t = 2s

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

a = (-5m/s) / (2s)

a = -2.5m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²

NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.

1. Black Panther ran 567.5 ks to the east in 2.3 hours then tumed around and ran 2218 km to

mario62 [17]

Answer:Average Velocity of the trip=98.77km/h

Explanation:

Given that:

Black Panther started his journey with

Distance ran towards east = 567.5km

Time ran towards east = 2.3 hours

and then turned back,

Distance ran towards west, = 2218 km

Time taken towards west, = 1.2 hours

Let us treat the westward movement as negative movement of the east

So total displacement =567.5 km east + (-2218km east )= 1,650.5km

But it seems the value of the distance ran west is wrong , because i do not think he can run 2218km under 1.2hours considering he ran 567.5m due east at 2.3hours .

So Let we use 221.8 km as distance ran due west.

So that Total Displacement becomes = 567.5 km east + (-221.8km east )= 345.7km

Total time = 2.3 + 1.2 = 3.5hrs.

Average velocity = Total displacement / total time

.345.7km / 3.5hr = 98.77km/h

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change of state?

Andreas93 [3]

A "heating curve" is a graph that shows the temperature of the substance
against the amount of heat you put into it.

For most of the graph, as you'd expect, the temperature goes up as you
add heat, and it goes down as you take heat away. BUT ... While the
substance is changing state, its temperature doesn't change even though
you're putting heat in or taking heat out.

So that part of the graph is a horizontal line.

Explain how water circulates from deep oceans to the surface.

Alexxandr [17]

"These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean watergets very cold, forming sea ice." this is what I found...
