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>

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

where

\Delta L is the change in length of the object

L_0 is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have L_0 = 4 m and \Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m, therefore the strain is

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. if the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is
kvasek [131]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

         We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

         Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

         In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g m/s^2 and final velocity = 0 m/s.

        0 = u sin θ - gt

         t = u sin θ/g

    Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

    So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 m/s^2 and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

 So range of projectile,  R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}

 Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :

     We have equation of motion, v^2=u^2+2as, where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

   Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H

   0^2=(usin\theta) ^2-2gH\\ \\ H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

In the give problem we have R = 301.5 m,  θ = 25° we need to find H.

So  \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=301.5\\ \\ \frac{u^2sin(2*25)}{g}=301.5\\ \\ u^2=393.58g

Now we have H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{393.58*g*sin^2 25}{2g}=35.15m

 So maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

A Wooden block has a mass of 0.200kg, a specific heat of 710 J (kg times degrees Celsius and is at a temperature of 20.0 degrees
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

35°C

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

2130 J = (0.200 kg) (710 J/kg/°C) (T − 20.0°C)

T = 35°C
