Answer:

metal> metalloids >nonmetals (Electrical conductivity)

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity of objects can be compared by the bonding energy of electrons in them.

Metals have less bonding energy of electrons, so even at room temperature their are significant number of free electrons to carry electrical current.

Nonmetals have a very high bonding energy of electrons, so at room temperature negligible number of free electrons are present so electrical conductivity is very low.

Metalloids have both metallic and non metallic features. The electron bonding energy falls in between that of metals and nonmetals. So electrical conductivity also lies in between metals and nonmetals.

What is the equation for measuring the change in thermal energy?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Explanation: I think...

Thermal Energy formula Q = mcΔT

Q = Thermal Energy(J)

m = Mass(kg)

c = Specific Heat(J/kg°C)

ΔT = Change in Temperature(°C)

you have to write the equation based on what you are working on

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approxim

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

10.53m/s²

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object about a circle. The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed by:

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

v is the velocity of the car = 24.5m/s

r is the radius of the track = 57.0m

Substitute the given values into the formula:

$a = \frac{24.5^2}{57} \\\\a = \frac{600.25}{57}\\ \\a = 10.53m/s^{2}$

Hence the centripetal acceleration of the race car is 10.53m/s²

a chuck wagon with an initial velocity of 4 m/s and a mass of 35 kg gets a push with 350 joules of force. what is the wagon's fi

Kitty [74]

Answer:

the final velocity of the wagon is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the wagon, u = 4 m/s

mass of the wagon, m = 35 kg

energy applied to the wagon, E = 350 J

The final velocity of the wagon is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

$m(v^2-u^2) = 2E\\\\v^2-u^2 = \frac{2E}{m} \\\\v^2 = \frac{2E}{m} + u^2\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} + u^2} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2(350)}{35} + (4)^2}\\\\v = 6 \ m/s$

Therefore, the final velocity of the wagon is 6 m/s.
