Give the relationship between the number of valence electrons in an atom's
valence electron shell and the position of the element on the Periodic Table​

Answers

Answer:

they're reactions

Explanation:

The relationship between the valence electrons and position is: the number of valence electrons determines the position

What is valence electron?

This is the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.

NOTE: The outermost shell is called valence shell

Position in Periodic table

This is where an element is located in the periodic table

Relationship between valence electrons and position

The position of an element in the periodic table is determined by the number of valence electrons.

For example

Sodium, Na (atomic number of 11) has the following electronic configuration

1st shell = 2 electrons2nd shell = 8 electrons 3rd (valence) shell = 1 electron

Since the valence electron is 1, thus, sodium is located in group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, we can see that the position of an element in the periodic table is related to the valence electron(s) in the atomic shell of the element.

Answers

Answer:

33.6 / 96   is the fraction of the temperature between ice and freezing

33.6 / 96 = .35

So C = .35 * 100 = 35 deg C  where the ice point would be 0 deg C

You can convert C to F

F = 9 / 5 * C + 32 = 9/5 * 35 + 32 = 95 deg F

Here,

From the current carrying conductor given,

The current is flowing through the conductor in a direction from left to right or it can be said as, the current is flowing in a clockwise direction.

So, we can apply the right-hand grip rule in this conductor.

According to the right-hand grip rule, stretch the thumb of the right hand and point it towards the direction of flow of current in the conductor. Then the remaining curled fingers will be pointed upwards in the conductor.

Hence,

determine the total voltage in the circuit below the ammeter is reading 4 A

Answers

Answer:

6 V.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance of the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 3 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 3 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the two resistor are in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as:

R = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

R = (3 × 3) / (3 + 3)

R = 9/6

R = 1.5 Ω

Finally, we shall determine the total voltage in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Current (I) = 4 A

Equivalent Resistance (R) = 1.5 Ω

Total voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 4 × 1.5

V = 6 V

Thus, the total voltage in the circuit is 6 V

1 kg block slides down a frictionless inclined plane that makes an angle of 300 with respect to the ground. The total length of the plane is 2 m, but midway down it collides with a second block, weighing 0.5 kg. The two blocks stick together and travel as one unit the rest of the way down the ramp. What is the kinetic energy of the combined 1.5 kg block when it reaches the bottom of the plane

Answers

Answer:

the kinetic energy of the combined 1.5 kg block when it reaches the bottom of the plane is 10.62 J

Explanation:

Given that the data in the question;

angle of inclination with respect to the ground [tex]\theta[/tex] = 30°

length of plane d = 2m

m₁ = 1 kg

m₂ = 0.5 kg

now, velocity of the first block at midpoint;

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]mv² = mgsin[tex]\theta[/tex][tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]v² = gsin[tex]\theta[/tex][tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex]

v² = gsin[tex]\theta[/tex]d

v = √( gsin[tex]\theta[/tex]d)

g is 9.8 m/s

so we substitute

v = √( 9.8 × sin30° × 2)

v = √( 19.6 )

v =  3.13 m/s

Now, velocity just after collision of the blocks will be;

(m₁ + m₂)v₂ = m₁v

v₂ = m₁v / (m₁ + m₂)

we substitute

v₂ = (1 × 3.13) / (1 + 0.5)

v₂ = 3.13 / 1.5

v₂ = 2.0866 m/s

now, final kinetic energy will be;

[tex]KE_f[/tex] = (m₁ + m₂)gsin[tex]\theta[/tex][tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex] + Initial Kinetic energy

[tex]KE_f[/tex] = (m₁ + m₂)gsin[tex]\theta[/tex][tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]mv₂²

we substitute

[tex]KE_f[/tex] = [(1 + 0.5)9.8 × sin30 × [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]] + [[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 1.5 × 2.0866 ]

[tex]KE_f[/tex] = 7.35 + 3.2654

[tex]KE_f[/tex] = 10.62 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the combined 1.5 kg block when it reaches the bottom of the plane is 10.62 J

As you know a cube with each side 4 m in length has a volume of 64m3. Each side of the cube is now doubled in length. What is the ration if the new volume to the old volume

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of the new volume to the old volume is 8 to 1.

Explanation:

Let's first list what we know:

A cube has sides with lengths of 4 mThe volume of the cube is 64 [tex]m^3[/tex]The new cube has sides double the length of the old cube

Since the new cube has sides double the length of the sides of the old cube, and 4 doubled is 8, the length of the sides of the new cube is 8.

The equation for the volume of a cube is [tex]V = s^3[/tex], where "V" is the volume and "s" is the lengths of the sides.

Now, let's solve for the volume of the new cube:

[tex]V = s^3[/tex]

[tex]V = 8^3[/tex]

[tex]V = 512[/tex]

The volume of the new cube is 512 [tex]m^3[/tex].

The ratio of the new volume to the old volume is 512 : 64.

Let's simplify the ratio:

512 : 64

8 : 1

The ratio of the new volume to the old volume is 8 to 1.

A person walks into a room that has, on opposite walls, two plane mirrors producing multiple images. Find the distances from the person to the first three images seen in the left-hand mirror, when the person is 5.80 ft from the mirror on the left wall and 13.7 ft from the mirror on the right wall.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

When the person stands 5.80 ft from the mirror of the wall.

a) The first image is found by multiplying the distance of the left mirror to the person.

i.e.

2 × 5.80 = 11.6 ft

b) The second image is deduced by the addition of the distance of the first image with the distance created by the right mirror.

i.e.

(2 × 13.7 ) + 11.6

= 39 ft

c) The third image is acquired by the addition of the image presented by the left mirror and the image presented by the right mirror.

(2 × 5.80) + 39

= 50.6 ft

not sure tho.

The mass of the jet that accelerates at 4 m/s^2 after a 4000 N force from the engines is 1000 kg.

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, the law can be expressed as F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is its mass, and a is its acceleration. This law is fundamental to the understanding of the motion of objects under the influence of external forces.

Rearranging the formula to solve for mass, we get:

m = F / a

Substituting the given values, we get:

[tex]m = 4000 N / 4 m/s^2[/tex]

m = 1000 kg

Therefore, the mass of the jet that accelerates at 4 m/s^2 after a 4000 N force from the engines is 1000 kg.

Piano tuners tune pianos by listening to the beats between the harmonics of two different strings. When properly tuned, the note A should have the frequency 440 Hz and the note E should be at 659 Hz. The tuner can determine this by listening to the beats between the third harmonic of the A and the second harmonic of the E. A tuner first tunes the A string very precisely by matching it to a 440 Hz tuning fork. She then strikes the A and E strings simultaneously and listens for beats between the harmonics. What beat frequency indicates that the E string is properly tuned

Answers

Answer:

The beat frequency = 2.0 Hz

Explanation:

From the given information

The 3rd harmonic frequency of the note is equivalent to thrice note A fundamental frequency.

i.e.

[tex]f_{3A} = 3f_A[/tex]

where;

[tex]f_A =[/tex] note A fundamental freq.

replacing 440 Hz for [tex]f_A[/tex]

[tex]f_{#a} = 3 (440 \ Hz)[/tex]

[tex]f_{3A} = 1320 Hz[/tex]

However, the 2nd harmonic of the E is equivalent to two times the fundamental frequency of the note E.

i.e.

[tex]f_{2E} = 2f_E[/tex]

[tex]f_E =[/tex]  note E fundamental freq.

replacing 659 Hz for [tex]f_E[/tex]

[tex]f_{2E} = 2(659)[/tex]

[tex]f_{2E} = 1318 \ Hz[/tex]

Finally, the beat frequency when the E string is properly tuned is:

[tex]\Delta f = f_{3A}-f_{2E}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta f = 1320 \ Hz - 1318 \ Hz[/tex]

[tex]\Delta f = 2.0 \ Hz[/tex]

Thus, the beat frequency = 2.0 Hz

A diffraction grating is placed 1.00 m from a viewing screen. Light from a hydrogen lamp goes through the grating. A hydrogen spectral line with a wavelength of 656 nm is seen 60.0 cm to one side of the center. Then, the hydrogen lamp is replaced with an unknown lamp. A spectral line is seen on the screen 36.4 cm away from the center. What is the wavelength of this spectral line

Answers

Answer:

λ = 396.7 nm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the diffraction ratio of a grating

           d sin θ = m λ

in general the networks works in the first order m = 1

we can use trigonometry, remembering that in diffraction experiments the angles are small

           tan θ = y / L

           tan θ = [tex]\frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}[/tex] = sin θ

           sin θ = y / L

we substitute

          [tex]d \ \frac{y}{L}[/tex] = m λ

with the initial data we look for the distance between the lines

           d = [tex]\frac{m \lambda \ L}{y}[/tex]

           d = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.00 / 0.600

            d = 1.09 10⁻⁶ m

for the unknown lamp we look for the wavelength

           λ = d y / L m

           λ = 1.09 10⁻⁶ 0.364 / 1.00 1

           λ = 3.9676 10⁻⁷ m

           λ = 3.967 10⁻⁷ m

         

we reduce nm

           λ = 396.7 nm
