An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive dis- placements. The first is 75 km 30.0° west of north, and

the second is 155 km 60.0° east of north. What is the total displacement of the airplane?

Answer: displacement of airplane is 172 km in direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Explanation:

In constructing the two displacements it is noticed that the angle between the 75 km vector and the 155 km vector is a right angle (90 degrees).

 

Hence if the plane starts out at A, it travels to B, 75 km away, then turns 90 degrees to the right (clockwise) and travels to C, 155 km away from B. Angle ABC is 90 degrees, hence we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for AC

 

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ; AC^2 = 752 + 1552  ; from this we get AC = 172 km (3 significant figures)

 

Angle BAC = Tan-1(155/75) ; giving angle BAC = 64.2 degrees

 

Hence AC is in a direction (64.2 - 30) = 34.2 degrees East of North

 

Therefore the displacement of the airplane is 172 km in a direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Determine the values of m and n when the following mass of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 5,970,000,000,000,000,00
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Mass of the Earth is equal to,

m=5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg

Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

N=m\times 10^n

m is the real number

n is any integer

Mass of the earth can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

m=5.97\times 10^{24}\ m

Here,

m = 5.97

n = 24

Hence, this is the required solution.

Elements in group 2 are all called alkaline earth metals. What is most similar about the alkaline earth metals? how many protons
Rom4ik [11]

Elements in group 2 are called alkaline earth metals, the most similarity about the alkaline metals is which chemical properties they have.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Periodic table  </h3>
  • Periodic table is a table that contains elements arranged in columns called groups and rows called periods.
  • Elements are arranged based on physical and chemical properties such that elements in the same group will have similar physical and chemical properties.  
<h3>Chemical families  </h3>
  • Based on the chemical properties elements belong to a family of elements sharing similar chemical or physical characteristics.
  • Examples of common chemical families include; alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals, halogens and noble gases among others.
<h3>Alkaline-earth metals  </h3>
  • These are elements that are found in group 2 of the periodic table. Alkaline-earth metals include, Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.  

Properties  of Alkaline-earth metals

  • Alkaline earth metals have a valence of two since they form ions by losing two electrons from their outermost energy levels.
  • Unlike the Alkali metals, the earth metals have a smaller atom size and are not as reactive compared to alkali metals.
  • Alkaline-earth metals are highly metallic and are good conductors of electricity.  
  • They react with water and steam to form metal hydroxide and metal oxides respectively  
  • They react with air to form metal oxides  
  • Reactivity of alkaline metals depends on the ease of losing electrons, thus the reactivity increases down the group as the number of energy levels increases.
  • Additionally, alkaline-earth metals have low electronegativities and low electron affinities
