Aluminum, and magnesium are metals. For metals, reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across the periodic table. Atomic number of Al is 13 and of Mg is 12. Hence the least reactive of these two is therefore aluminum.

Magnesium is "HIGHLY FLAMMABLE" carefully take a small piece and hit it with a torch. If its Magnesium it will "Caution, very, quickly burn.
Aluminum will not react to simple flame, it will only melt with enough direct heat.

Magnesium
==========
Atomic Number: 12
Atomic Symbol: Mg
Atomic Weight: 24.305
Electron Configuration: 2-8-2

Aluminum
========
Atomic Number: 13
Atomic Symbol: Al
Atomic Weight: 26.9815
Electron Configuration: 2-8-3

Hope this helps some. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you

Yuki888 [10]

Complete Question

Diagram for this shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The moment of inertia Ixx of the mallet about the x-axis is $I{xx}= 0.119 kg \cdot m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The density `of wooden handle is $\rho_w = 860 kg/m^3$

The density `of soft-metal head is $\rho_s =8000kg/m^3$

Generally the mass of the wooden can be mathematically obtained with this formula

$m_w = \rho_w A_w l_w$

Where $A_w$ is mass of wooden handle which is mathematically obtain with the formula

$A_w = \frac{\pi}{4} d^2_w$

Where $d_w$ is the diameter of the wooden handle which from the diagram is

$27mm = \frac{27}{1000} = 0.027m$

So $A_w = \frac{\pi}{4} * 0.027^2$

$l_w$ is the length of the the wooden handle which is given in the diagram as $l_w = 315mm = \frac{315}{1000} = 0.315m$

Substituting these value into the formula for mass

$m_w = 860 * (\frac{\pi}{4} * 0.027^2 ) *0.315$

$= 0.155kg$

Generally the mass of the soft-metal head can be mathematically obtained with this formula

$m_s = \rho_s A_s l_s$

Where $A_s$ is mass of soft-metal head which is mathematically obtain with the formula

$A_s = \frac{\pi}{4} d^2_s$

Where $d_s$ is the diameter of the soft-metal head which from the diagram is

$36mm = \frac{36}{1000} = 0.036m$

So $A_s = \frac{\pi}{4} * 0.036^2$

$l_s$ is the length of the the soft-metal head which is given in the diagram

as $l_s = 90mm = \frac{90}{1000} = 0.090m$

Substituting these value into the formula for mass

$m_s = 8000 * (\frac{\pi}{4} * 0.036^2 ) *0.090$

$=0.733kg$

Generally the mass moment of inertia about x-axis for the wooden handle is

$(I_{xx})_w = [\frac{1}{3}m_w + l_w^2 ]$

Substituting values

$(I_{xx})_w = [\frac{1}{3}*0.155 + 0.315^2 ]$

$=5.12*10^{-3}kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the mass moment of inertia about x-axis for the soft-metal head is

$(I_{xx})_s = [\frac{1}{12}m_s l_s ^2 + b^2]$

Where b is the distance from the centroid to the axis of the head which is mathematically given as

$b=l_w +\frac{d_s}{2}$

Substituting values

$b = 0.315 + \frac{0.036}{2}$

$= 0.336m$

Now substituting values into the formula for mass moment of inertia about x-axis for soft-metal head

$(I_{xx})_s = [\frac{1}{12} *0.733* 0.090^2 + 0.336^2]$

$=0.113 kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the mass moment of inertia about x-axis is mathematically represented as

$I_{xx} = (I_{xx})_w + (I_{xx})_s$

$= [\frac{1}{3}m_w + l_w^2 ] + [\frac{1}{12}m_s l_s ^2 + b^2]$

Substituting values

$I_{xx} = 5.12*10^{-3} +0.113$

$I{xx}= 0.119 kg \cdot m^2$

A 1.40-kg block is on a frictionless, 30 ∘ inclined plane. The block is attached to a spring (k = 40.0 N/m ) that is fixed to a

Oliga [24]

Answer:

the mass drop by 6.5cm before coming to rest.

Explanation:

Given that:

the mass of the block M= 1.40 kg

angle of inclination θ = 30°

spring constant K = 40.0 N/m

mass of the suspended block m = 60.0 g = 0.06 kg

initial downward speed = 1.40 m/s

The objective is to determine how far does it drop before coming to rest?

Let assume it drops at y from a certain point in the vertical direction;

Then :

Workdone by gravity on the mass of the block is:

$w_1g = 1.4*9.81*y*sin30$ = - 6.867y

Workdone by gravity on the mass of the suspended block is:

$w_2g = 0.06*9.81$ = 0.5886

The workdone by the spring = -1/2ky²

= -0.5 × 40y²

= -20 y²

The net workdone is = -20 y² - 6.867y + 0.5886y

According to the work energy theorem

Net work done = Δ K.E

-20 y² - 6.867y + 0.5886 = 1/2 × 0.06 × 1.4²

-20 y² - 6.867y + 0.5886 = 0.5 × 0.1176

-20 y² - 6.867y + 0.5886 = 0.0588

-20 y² - 6.867y + 0.5886 - 0.0588

-20 y² - 6.867y + 0.5298 = 0

multiplying through by (-)

20 y² + 6.867y - 0.5298 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

$\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where;

a = 20 ; b = 6.867 c= - 0.5298

$\dfrac{-(6.867) \pm \sqrt{(6.867)^2-(4*20*-0.5298)}}{2*(20)}$

$= \dfrac{-(6.867) + \sqrt{(6.867)^2-(4*20*-0.5298)}}{2*(20)} \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \dfrac{-(6.867) - \sqrt{(6.867)^2-(4*20*-0.5298)}}{2*(20)}$ = 0.0649 OR −0.408

We go by the positive integer

y = 0.0649 m

y = 6.5 cm

Therefore; the mass drop by 6.5cm before coming to rest.

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are defined as the waves that are created due to the vibrations between a magnetic field and an electric field.

Earth atmosphere is made up of several gases and spaces between them. Thermal energy from the sun require to pass through space by electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space and that is why other type of waves are unable to transfer thermal energy.

Hence, the correct answer is "Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space".
