Mrs. Jacobson is pushing a fridge to the right with a force of 100 N. The force pushing itto the left is 15 N. What is the net (leftover) force on the fridge?
85 N to the right
85 N to the left
115 N to the right
115 N to the left

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let's illustrate this; see the attachment.

We see that Mrs. Jacobson is pushing to the right with a force of 100 N and there is another opposite force pushing with a force of 15 N. Since these are in opposite directions, we can say that the force opposite to Mrs. Jacobson is pushing the fridge -15 N to the right (instead of 15 N to the left).

The net force would then be:

100 N + (-15 N) = 85 N to the right

The answer is A.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

85 N to the right

Explanation:

Convention: rightwards positive

Force applied by Mrs. Jacobson:

+100

Force applied by the fridge:

-15

Net force

+100 - 15

+85

why is water vapor important in weather

 

Answers

Water vapor is important to the weather because it creates clouds. Without clouds there would be no rain, and without rain there wouldn't be as much water now as there was 100 years ago because it wouldn't recycle. Water Vapor is very important to the weather and life as we know it.

What determines how many bond an atom will form?

Answers

The electronegativities of the two atoms play a part in determining what kind of bonds are formed. The main two types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent. Covalent bonds are formed by atoms that share valence electrons and are most commonly formed between nonmetal atoms.

Their valance electrons are redistributed in ways that make the atoms more stable.

Is it always possible to identify something as an element, compound, pure substance or mixture just by looking at it? Explain using examples from the tables. (table attached)

Answers

Using, the table given above, one can conclude that, IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY A SUBSTANCE AS A COMPOUND, MIXTURE, PURE SUBSTANCE OR AN ELEMENT JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM.

Looking at the table, you will observe that, some of the substances listed under mixtures are actually compounds. That is, combination of hydrogen and oxygen will form water, which is a compound. Also, combination of sodium and chlorine will form sodium chloride, which is a compound.

no, as some compounds(such as carbon dioxide and oxygen) are completely transparent, you can not see them and can not distinguish between the two with just the naked eye.

9. In a period, do the number of shielding electrons change? Why do you thinkor shielding electrons change? Why do you think atomic radius decreases across a
period?

Answers

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases, but the number of inner shielding electrons stays the same.  

Explanation:

Their shielding does not change, so the effective nuclear charge — the charge felt by a valence electron — increases.

The valence electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius.

For example, consider the elements of Period 3.

\begin{array}{ccccc}& & \textbf{Number of} & \textbf{Inner} & \textbf{Valence}\n\textbf{At. No.} & \textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Protons} & \textbf{Electrons} & \textbf{Electrons}\n11& \text{Na} & 11 & 10 & 1\n12& \text{Mg} &12 & 10 & 2\n13& \text{Al} & 13 & 10 & 3 \n14& \text{Si} & 14 & 10 & 4 \n15& \text{P} & 15 & 10 & 5\n16& \text{S} & 16 & 10 & 6\n17& \text{Cl} & 17 & 10 & 7\n18& \text{Ar} & 18 & 10 & 8 \n\end{array}

The number of protons increases as you go from one element to the next, but the number of inner electrons is constant.
