Answer:

An electron in the third shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell and An electron in the first shell has more energy than an electron in the second shell.

Explanation:

Calcium has 20 electrons.
Calcium does not "borrow" electrons. Calcium "donates" 2 electrons.
Calcium ion (Ca2+) has 18 electron
Calcium has 2 valence electrons.
The element Ca, so calcium, has 20 electrons (so it also has 20 protons) this means that it has 2 electrons in its outer orbit, its relative atomic mass is 40.

A coat rack weighs 65.0 lbs when it is filled with winter coats and 40.0 lbs when it is empty. The base of the coat rack has an

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.056 psi more pressure is exerted by filled coat rack than an empty coat rack.

Explanation:

First we find the pressure exerted by the rack without coat. So, for that purpose, we use formula:

P₁ = F/A

where,

P₁ = Pressure exerted by empty rack = ?

F = Force exerted by empty rack = Weight of Empty Rack = 40 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₁ = 40 lb/452.4 in²

P₁ = 0.088 psi

Now, we calculate the pressure exerted by the rack along with the coat.

P₂ = F/A

where,

P₂ = Pressure exerted by rack filled with coats= ?

F = Force exerted by filled rack = Weight of Filled Rack = 65 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₂ = 65 lb/452.4 in²

P₂ = 0.144 psi

Now, the difference between both pressures is:

ΔP = P₂ - P₁

ΔP = 0.144 psi - 0.088 psi

ΔP = 0.056 psi

Concrete colums are constructed with reinforcing steel in them to make them stronger and more ductile. The reinforcing bars are

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

$383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

Explanation:

d = Diameter of column = 0.5 inch

$A_c$ = Area of concrete = $119.4\ in^2$

The strain in the system is conserved

$\dfrac{F_sL}{A_sE_s}=\dfrac{F_cL}{A_cE_c}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_sA_cE_c}{A_sE_s}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_s \times 119.4\times 4.1\times 10^6}{8\times \dfrac{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\times 29\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658F_s$

Now

$F_c+F_s=50000\\\Rightarrow 10.74658F_s+F_s=50000\\\Rightarrow F_s=\dfrac{50000}{11.74658}\\\Rightarrow F_s=4256.55807\ lbf$

$F_c=10.74658F_s\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658\times 4256.55807\\\Rightarrow F_c=45743.44182\ lbf$

Stress is given by

$\sigma_s=\dfrac{4256.55807}{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_s=21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

The stress in the steel is $21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

$\sigma_c=\dfrac{45743.44182}{119.4}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_s=383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

The stress in the steel is $383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

Which statement about the dark nebulae is true?(A) They can be penetrated only with shorter waves, such as UV and x-ray.(B) They

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: (B) They can be penetrated only with longer wavelengths such as radio and infrared.

Explanation:

A dark nebula is a type of interstellar cloud with such a high density that it "hides" the light of the background stars.

It should be noted that these nebulae are composed mostly of hydrogen (the star's primary fuel), and the absence of light (in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum) is caused by the interstellar solid dust that constitutes the cloud, which is why they are also called absorption nebulae.

However, if powerful telescopes that detect at long wavelengths, such as infrared and X-rays, it is possible to observe through these nebulae and even observe the existence of young stars.
