Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict th

at xenon will be more reactive than iodine.” Is Lorenzo correct? If so, why? If not, explain his error.

That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.

<span>Lorenzo is not correct. Nonmetals increase in reactivity from left to right because nonmetals on the right have more valence electrons. They need to gain fewer electrons to have a full outer shell. However, this trend only continues until group 17, because the noble gases already have a full outer shell. Therefore, their reactivity is the least of all the elements.</span>

A vehicle has an initial velocity of v0 when a tree falls on the roadway a distance xf in front of the vehicle. The driver has a
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the vehicle, v_o

distance between the car and the tree, x_f

time taken to respond to the situation, t

acceleration of the car after braking, a

Using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.s ..............(1)

where:

v= final velocity of the car when it hits the tree

u= initial velocity of the  car when the tree falls

a= acceleration after the brakes are applied

s= distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

s=v_o\times t

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t) (negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)

Q = mCΔT, where Q = Amount of energy required, m = mass of the blcok, C = specific heat, ΔT = change in temperature.

Using the given values;

Q = 12*913*(118-20) = 1073688 J = 1073.688 kJ.

A 2.0-kg block sliding on a rough horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (k = 250 N/m) which has its o
Burka [1]

Suppose the spring begins in a compressed state, so that the block speeds up from rest to 2.6 m/s as it passes through the equilibrium point, and so that when it first comes to a stop, the spring is stretched 0.20 m.

There are two forces performing work on the block: the restoring force of the spring and kinetic friction.

By the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the block between the equilbrium point and the 0.20 m mark is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy:

W_{\rm total}=\Delta K

or

W_{\rm friction}+W_{\rm spring}=0-K=-K

where <em>K</em> is the block's kinetic energy at the equilibrium point,

K=\dfrac12\left(2.0\,\mathrm{kg}\right)\left(2.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=6.76\,\mathrm J

Both the work done by the spring and by friction are negative because these forces point in the direction opposite the block's displacement. The work done by the spring on the block as it reaches the 0.20 m mark is

W_{\rm spring}=-\dfrac12\left(250\dfrac{\rm N}{\rm m}\right)(0.20\,\mathrm m)^2=-5.00\,\mathrm J

Compute the work performed by friction:

W_{\rm friction}-5.00\,\mathrm J=-6.76\,\mathrm J \implies W_{\rm friction}=-1.76\,\mathrm J

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   ==>   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em>

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force from the surface pushing up on the block. Then if <em>f</em> is the magnitude of kinetic friction, we have <em>f</em> = <em>µmg</em>, where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So we have

W_{\rm friction}=-f(0.20\,\mathrm m)

\implies -1.76\,\mathrm J=-\mu\left(2.0\,\mathrm{kg}\right)\left(9.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(0.20\,\mathrm m)

\implies \boxed{\mu\approx0.45}

Venus has an average distance to the sun of 0.723 AU. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the orbital pe
Otrada [13]
For this task we need to use Kepler's third law:

T = 2*pi*\sqrt{ \frac{ r^{3}}{G*M} }

where T is orbital period in seconds, r is Venus's semi-major axis, G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the sun.

Distance from earth to sun is 1AU so if we know earths period and distance from the sun we can calculate Venus period.
Te-earths period
Tv-venus period

\frac{Te}{Tv} =  \sqrt{ \frac{ Re^{3} }{ Rv^{3} } }

From the text we know that Re/Rv = 1/0.723

Which means that:
Tv =  \sqrt{0.723^3} * Te

Tv = 0.614 Te

How many turns should a 10-cm long solenoid have if it is to generate a 1.5 x 10-3 t magnetic field on 1.0 a of current?
stepan [7]

We can answer this problem using Ampere’s Law:

<span>Bh = μoNI </span>

Where:

B = Magnetic Field

h = coil length

<span>μo = permeability =4π*10^-7 T·m/A </span>

N = number of turns

I = current

It is given that B=0.0015T, I=1.0A, h=10 cm = 0.1m<span>

Use Ampere's law to find # turns: 
Which can be rewritten as: 
<span>N = Bh/μoI </span>
N = (0.0015)(0.1)/(4π*10^-7)(1.0) 
N = 119.4 

</span>

<span>Answer: 119.4 turns</span>
