It has been proposed that North America is moving west at about 2 cm per year. How many kilometers would it move in 5,000 years? (Note: 2 cm is a measurement so your final answer should have significant figure rules applied.)

Joseph has hypothesized that sound travels in waves. if he were following the scientific method, what should he do next? a. ask a question. b. test the hypothesis. c. study the results. d. tell other scientists about his hypothesis.

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.

Calculate the estimated density of each ball. use the formula d = m/v where d is the density, m is the mass, and v is the volume. record your calculations in table a of your student guide. given that the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3, make a prediction about whether each ball will float in water. record your prediction in table a. what is the estimated density of the table tennis ball? record your answer to the nearest hundredth
