I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Absolute threshold refers to the lowest intensity at which a person can detect stimuli. It <span>is the smallest level of energy required by an external stimulus to be detectable by the human senses. Hope this answers the question.</span>

answer;

The hole in the center of the washer will expand

explanation;

<em>A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? The hole in the center will remain the same size. Changes in the hole cannot be determined without know the composition of the metal. The hole in the center of the washer will expand. The hole in the center of the washer will contract.</em>

this is an example of area expansivity.

coefficient of area expansivity is change in area per area per degree rise in temperature

a=dA/(A*dt)

as the temperature rises , there will be volumetric and area expansivity on the body. volume also increases because of the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecule is now getting apart.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The radius is r =  4.434 *10^{-5} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The magnetic field is  B =   90 mT =  90*10^{-3} \ T

     The electron kinetic energy is  KE  =  1.4 eV = 1.4 * (1.60*10^{-19})  =2.24*10^{-19} \ J

Generally for the collision to occur the centripetal force of the electron in it orbit is equal to the magnetic force applied  

   This is mathematically represented as

   \frac{mv^2}{r}  =  qvB

=>    r =  \frac{m* v}{q *  B}

Where  m is the mass of electron with values m  =  9.1 *10^{-31} \ kg  

             v is the escape velocity  which is mathematically represented as

                v  = \sqrt{\frac{2 * KE}{m} }

So  

       r =  \frac{m}{qB}  *  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  KE}{m} }

     apply indices

    r = \frac{\sqrt{2 * KE * m} }{qB}

substituting values

   

        r = \frac{\sqrt{2 * 2.24*10^{-19}* 9.1 *10^{-31}} }{ 1.60 *10^{-19}* 90*10^{-3}}

       r =  4.434 *10^{-5} \ m

if m represents mass in kg, v represents speed in m/s, and r represents radius in m, show that the force F in the equation F=mv^
Zarrin [17]
This approach is called the dimensional analysis which involves only the units of measurement without their magnitudes. You simply have to do the operations by using variables. Cancel out like items that may appear both in the numerator and denominator side. The solution is as follows:

F = mv²/r = [kg][m/s]²/[m] = [kg][m²⁻¹][1/s²] = [kg·m/s²]

The atomic number of beryllium (Be) is 4, and the atomic number of barium (Ba) is 56. Which comparison is best supported by this
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The answer is:

B)They are in the same group because they have similar chemical properties, but they are in different periods because they have very different atomic numbers.

The explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.

A period is a horizontal row of elements on the periodic table. For example, the elements sodium ( Na ) and magnesium ( Mg ) are both in period 3. The elements astatine ( At ) and radon ( Rn ) are both in period 6.
