Why do group 1 metals become more reactive as you descend the group?

The outer electron is further from the nucleus of the atom, therefore feeling less effective nuclear attraction . As you descend the group 1 metals, more shells of electrons are present in the metal atom, th...

Where do the lines 2y = 4x + 2 and - 3x + y = 4 intersect?

Rearrange the second equation in the form y = mx + c to get y = 3x + 4. Divide the first equation by 2 to get y = 2x + 1. When the lines intersect, they'll have the same x and y values, hence, set the equati...

A box initially at rest is on a plank, of length 5m, that is elevated at an angle such that tan(a)=3/4. When it reaches the end of the plank it has velocity 5ms^-1. Calculate the average frictional force on the box.

In physics questions it is useful to not plug numbers in until the end and instead work through algebraically. Let's say the angle of elevation is a, the mass is m, the velocity at the end of the plank is v ...

f(x) = sinx. Using differentiation from first principles find the exact value of f' (π/6).

The derivative of the function where x=π/6 is defined asThe limit as h->0 of [sin(h+π/6)-sin(π/6)]/hUsing the double angle formula, sin(h+π/6) = sin(h)cos(π/6) + cos(h)sin(π/6) = √3sin(h)/2 + cos(h)sin(π/...
