Answer: The correct answer is "metalloid".

Explanation:

Metal is the material which can conduct electricity as it contains free electrons. It is good conductor of electricity. For example, copper, silver.

Metal can be drawn into wires. This property of material is called ductile.

Metal can be beaten into sheets. This property of material is called malleable.

Non metal is the material which cannot conduct electricity as it does not contain free electrons. They are poor conductor of electricity. For example, oxygen.

Metalloid: It has properties of both metals and non metal. It is electrical conductor. For example, semiconductor- silicon and germanium. But they cannot be pulled into wires.

Therefore, a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a metalloid.

Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

   = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

   = (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

   = 44,222.5 meters .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !

A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

= 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = $\frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}$

= $\frac{0.779}{6}$

= 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130
