Explanation:

Barium is a metal and has excess of electrons. Thus, in order to become stable barium will donate its extra electrons to an electron deficient atom. As a result, there will be formation of ionic bond.

Non-metals have deficiency of electrons and thus, they will readily accept electrons from barium in order to complete their octet. Mostly non-metals have a charge of -1.

Therefore, they will combine with barium to form a compound with formula $BaX_{2}$ .

For example, when barium combines with fluorine, the formula will be $BaF_{2}$ .

Hence, we can conclude that barium can combine with fluorine, iodine, chlorine, and bromine such that the formula could be written as $BaF_{2}$ .

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.

The box will move to the left.

The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.

Bob: +10 N

John: -12 N

Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.

For the acceleration:

Fnet = ma

-2 = (4 kg)a

a = -0.5 m/s^2

Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.

A 1100 kg car rounds a curve of radius 68 m banked at an angle of 16 degrees. If the car is traveling at 95 km/h, will a frictio

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Yes. Towards the center. 8210 N.

Explanation:

Let's first investigate the free-body diagram of the car. The weight of the car has two components: x-direction: towards the center of the curve and y-direction: towards the ground. Note that the ground is not perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is inclined 16 degrees.

In order to find whether the car slides off the road, we should use Newton's Second Law in the direction of x: F = ma.

The net force is equal to $F = \frac{mv^2}{R} = \frac{1100\times (26.3)^2}{68} = 1.1\times 10^4~N$

Note that 95 km/h is equal to 26.3 m/s.

This is the centripetal force and equal to the x-component of the applied force.

$F = mg\sin(16) = 1100(9.8)\sin(16) = 2.97\times10^3$

As can be seen from above, the two forces are not equal to each other. This means that a friction force is needed towards the center of the curve.

The amount of the friction force should be $8.21\times 10^3~N$

Qualitatively, on a banked curve, a car is thrown off the road if it is moving fast. However, if the road has enough friction, then the car stays on the road and move safely. Since the car intends to slide off the road, then the static friction between the tires and the road must be towards the center in order to keep the car in the road.

How light is channelled down an optical fibre

coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

the force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed. the forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The force that is exerted when a shopping cart is pushed is a type of push force, supplied by the muscles of the cart pusher's body.

The forces that causes a metal ball to move toward a magnet is a type of pull force that is as a result of the magnetic field forces.

Explanation:

Forces are divided into push forces that tends to accelerate a body away from the source of the force, and pull forces that accelerates the body towards the force source.

Examples of push forces includes pushing a cart, pushing a table, repulsion of two similar poles of a magnet etc. Examples of pull forces includes a attractive force between two dissimilar poles of a magnet, pulling a load by a rope, a dog pulling on a leash etc.
