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.

Yuri [45]

The force of gravity is much weaker than the strong nuclear force. But the strong nuclear force only acts over short distances, such as within the nuclues. The gravitational force can act over infinite distance.

You're driving your new sports car at 85 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 525 m.

Bumek [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the sports car, v = 85 mph = 37.99 m/s

The radius of curvature, r = 525 m

Let $W_N$ is the normal weight and $W_A$ is the apparent weight of the person. Its apparent weight is given by :

$W_A=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

So, $\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}}{mg}$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{g-\dfrac{v^2}{r}}{g}$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{9.8-\dfrac{(37.99)^2}{525}}{9.8}$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=0.719$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=71.9\%$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A water wheel rotates with a period of 2.26 s. If the water wheel has a radius of l.94 m,

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.

The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as

$V_{r}$ = 2π r / T

Where

π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159

T is period of time

Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel

The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.

Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26

Vr = 12.1893692/2.26

Vr = 5.39352619469

Which is approximately 5.39

Cheers!

Starting from rest, a 6.79 kg block slides 2.82 m down a rough 20.7 ◦ incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the b

Veronika [31]

Answer:

23.52092 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 6.79 kg

s = Sliding distance = 2.82 m

$\theta$ = Angle of slide = 20.7°

$\mu$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.425

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by the force of gravity is given by

$W=mgsin\theta\\\Rightarrow W=6.79\times 9.8\times sin20.7\\\Rightarrow W=23.52092\ J$

The work done by the force of gravity is 23.52092 J
