The answer is B.

Metalloids are elements that posses some of the characteristics of non-metals and also some of the characteristics of metals.

The semiconductivity property of metalloids such as Siliconium, Geranium have been leveraged to the maximum and these are used in LCD screens, televisions and many other technological appliances.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Power = 21[W]

Explanation:

Initial data:

F = 35[N]

d = 18[m]

In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work, which tells us that it is equal to the product of a force for a distance.

Therefore:

Work = W = F*d = 35*18 = 630 [J]

And power is defined as the amount of work performed in a time interval.

Power = Work / time

Time = t = 30[s]

Power = 630/30

Power = 21 [W]

The model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers appears similar to the model proposed centuries later by Dalton. What was t

Sladkaya [172]

The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If

Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where:

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity at time t

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

$v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s$

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

$v_x = 5 m/s$
