Answer:

potential energy PE = M g h

KE at bottom = 1/2 M V^2

Regardless of the slope of the slide the change in energy is the same

1/2 V^2 = g h

V = (2 g h)^1/2 = (2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10 m)^1/2 = 14 m / s

Perhaps the question says that h = 55 * .1 = 5.5 m

Then V = (2 * 9.8 * 5.5) = 10.4 m/s

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.

serg [7]

Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..

The eyepiece of a compound telescope has a focal length of 12 cm and the objective lens has a focal length of 16 m. What is the

olasank [31]

Answer:

The magnification is 133X

Explanation:

For a refractor telescope using convex lenses, the overall magnification os calculated as by dividing the focal length of the objective by that of the eyepiece.

$M = \frac{f(obj)}{f(eye)}$

So:

$M = \frac{16 m}{12 cm}$

Care must be taken with the units, in this case they are in meters and centimeters, they should be converted into the same unit before calculating:

$M = \frac{16 m}{0.12 m} = 133$
