Answer:
mass
Explanation:
The amount of kinetic energy an object has, depends on its mass and its speed.
Answer:
A machine have 75% efficiency means 25% of efficiency has been lost due to friction and a machine can work 75% only.
Answer:
The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced
Explanation:
Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.
During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more informed on this than I am, but wouldn't it be because of the magnetic fields and whatnot? The longer I think on it, the more I feel like I'm wrong, so don't take my word for it 100%
