scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. calculations indicate that the entire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. if the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

On mars a rock falls an unknown vertical distance from a resting position and lands in a crater. if it takes the rock 2.5 seconds to fall, how high is the cliff the rock fell from? mars' surface gravity is 3.8 m/s2.

Up of elements with the same number of valence electrons. vertical column in the periodic table of elements such as alkali metals or halogens. a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table. this is a characteristic of the elements in the periodic table that shows a pattern. it may increase or decrease across or down the table. periodic trend these are the highly reactive elements located in group 1 of the periodic table. these elements have one electron in their outer energy level which makes them highly reactive with water and halogens. these are the reactive elements located in group 2 of the periodic table. these elements have two electrons in their outer energy level which makes them reactive with water and halogens. alkaline earth metals these are the group 3 or d-block elements. these dense metals with high boiling points can have different oxidation states and all are solid at room temperature with the exception of mercury. transition metals this is the highly reactive family of elements with 7 valence electrons. this is an element with full valence shell, very unreactive. this is a group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity. one of a class of elements having properties intermediate to metals and nonmetals. this is a type of element that has many valence electrons, not a conductor.

It is necessary to determine the specific heat of an unknown object. the mass of the object is 201.0g it is determined experimentally that it takes 15j to raise the temperature 10°c. what is the specific heat of the object? 3,020,000 j/kg ∙ k 1500 j/kg ∙ k 0.00130 j/kg ∙ k 7.46 j/kg ∙ k
