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.

Decay of Schizomycetes waste present in waste water leads to unpleasant smell.

These microorganisms, known as iron and sulfur bacteria, cause hydrogen sulfide to be found in water supplies. They include crenothrix and beggiatoa. Most often found in groundwater supplies, they produce an offensive odor of decaying matter. (I'm not sure)

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit

Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

$\Delta KE = \Delta PE$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 = mgh_2-mgh_1$

Where,

m = mass

$v_{f,i}$ = initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:

$\frac{1}{2}v_f^2-\frac{1}{2} v_0^2 = gh_2$

$\frac{1}{2} (v_f^2-v_0^2) = gh_2$

$(v_f^2-v_0^2) = 2gh_2$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh_2+v_0^2}$

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(23.5)+13.6^2}$

$v_f = 25.4m/s$

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>

Lilit [14]

A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).

Differentiate scalar & vector quantity?

Keith_Richards [23]

$\textbf{Hello Friend}$

Scalar Quantity :-

→ These are the quantities with magnitude only . These quantities doesn't have to be mentioned with direction

eg.)=> Mass , Temprature .

Vector Quantity :-

→ These quantities are described with both Magnitude and Direction . These quantities follow special type of algebra called Vector algebra .

eg.)=> Force , Displacement
