Answer;

poor conductors
low melting points
brittle

Explanation;

-Non-metals are elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions. These are electronegative elements with high ionization energies.

-Physical Properties of nonmetals includes; Poor conductors of heat and electricity, dull, brittle solids, most are gases at room temperature, low density, low melting point, not malleable, and also they are not ductile.

Explain about ohm's law.

belka [17]

Answer:

Statement:

The electric current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends provided temperature and other physical conditions remain constant.

Explanation:

Current is directly proportional to voltage loss through a resistor. That is, if the current doubles, then so does the voltage. To make a current flow through a resistance there must be a voltage across that resistance. Ohm's Law shows the relationship between the voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R).

V∝I or I∝V⇒V=IR.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

It took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.

Light propagates as electromagnetic wave in vacuum with a speed of $3x10^{8}m/s$ . Therefore, radio waves will have in vacuum the same speed.

Then, to know the time that it took for its voice, the next equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Which law states that the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant

Brrunno [24]

<u>Gay Lussac’s law</u> state that the pressure and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of a gas are directly proportional under constant volume conditions.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Gay-Lussac’s law </h3>

It states that at constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas I directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
Thus, an increase in pressure of an ideal gas at constant volume will result to an increase in the absolute temperature.

<h3>Boyles’s law </h3>

This gas law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature.
Therefore, when the volume of an ideal gas is increased at constant temperature then the pressure of the gas will also increase.

<h3>Charles’s law </h3>

It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature at constant pressure.
Therefore, an increase in volume of an ideal gas causes a corresponding increase in its absolute temperature and vice versa while the pressure is held constant.

<h3>Dalton’s law </h3>

It is also known as the Dalton’s law of partial pressure. It states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is always equivalent to the total sum of the partial pressures of individual component gases.
Partial pressure refers to the pressure of an individual gas if it occupies the same volume as the mixture of gases.

Consider an isolated system, by which we mean a system free of external forces. If the sum of the particle energies in the syste

Airida [17]

Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

$W=0$

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

$\Delta U=W-\Delta E$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=0-147$

$\Delta U=-147\ J$

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on ju

denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) $h=250\ m$

b) $\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

upward acceleration of the helicopter, $a=5\ m.s^{-2}$

time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off, $t_a=10\ s$

<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>

using the equation of motion,

$h=u.t+\frac{1}{2} a.t^2$

where:

u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)

t = time of observation

$h=0+0.5\times 5\times 10^2$

$h=250\ m$

time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall), $t_f=7\ s$

acceleration after deploying the parachute, $a_p=2\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>

$h_f=u.t_f+\frac{1}{2} g.t_f^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)

$t_f=$ time of free fall

$h_f=0+0.5\times 9.8\times 7^2$

$h_f=240.1\ m$

<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>

$v_f=u+g.t_f$

$v_f=0+9.8\times 7$

$v_f=68.6\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>

$h=u.t_h+\frac{1}{2} g.t_h^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0

$t_h=$ time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground

$h=$ height from where it falls = 250 m

now,

$250=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t_h^2$

$t_h=7.1429\ s$

From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.

<u>remaining time,</u>

$t'=t_h-t_f$

$t'=7.1428-7$

$t'=0.1428\ s$

<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>

$h'=v_f.t'+\frac{1}{2} a_p.t'^2$

$h'=68.6\times 0.1428+0.5\times 2\times 0.1428^2$

$h'=9.8165\ m$

<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>

$\Delta h=h-(h_f+h')$

$\Delta h=250-(240.1+9.8165)$

$\Delta h=0.0835\ m$
