from which category of elements would you choose to make a container that would not shatter if it dropped?

1 answer:

7 0

Okay.
So the reason why a certain material would break upon impact is (to really, really dumb it down to save space) because the material is rigid, and not flexible.

So things like glass and hard plastic are not good choices if you want a shatter-resistant container.

Things like Metals are malleable, that means that it can be hammered into thin sheets. Metals are softer and more flexible than materials like glass or hard plastic, so the worst thing that could happen to a metal container when dropped is getting dented, but it won't shatter.

As for where the metals are on a periodic table, take this paragraph from "Chemistry for Dummies":
"In the periodic table, you can see a stair-stepped line starting at Boron (B), atomic number 5, and going all the way down to Polonium (Po), atomic number 84. Except for Germanium (Ge) and Antimony (Sb), all the elements to the left of that line can be classified as metals."

A person's body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. If the body loses more energy than metabolic processe

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$T_s = 6.8 degree C$

Explanation:

As per thermal radiation we know that rate is heat radiation is given as

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = \sigma eA (T^4 - T_s^4)$

here we know that

T = 34 degree C = 307 K

$A = 1.38 m^2$

e = 0.557

$\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} W/m^2K^4$

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = 120 J/s$

now we have

$120 = (5.67 \times 10^{-8})(0.557)(1.38)(307^4 - T_s^4)$

$120 = (4.36 \times 10^{-8})(307^4 - T_s^4)$

$T_s = 279.8 K$

$T_s = 6.8 degree C$

3 Draw energy transfer diagrams

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The outline of the energy transfer are;

a) Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

Please find attached the drawings of the energy transfer created with MS Visio

Explanation:

The energy transfer diagrams are diagrams that can be used to indicate the part of a system where energy is stored and the form and location to which the energy is transferred

a) The energy transfer diagram for the winding up a clockwork car is given as follows;

Mechanical kinetic energy is used to wind up (turn) the clockwork car such that the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and stored in the wound up clockwork as follows;

Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Letting a wound up clockwork car run results in the conversion of mechanical potential energy into kinetic (energy due tom motion) energy as follows;

Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) The energy stored in the battery of a battery powered car is chemical potential energy. When the battery powered car runs, the chemical potential energy produces an electromotive force which is converted into kinetic energy as electric current flows from the batteries

Therefore, we have;

Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

A car drives 23m/s east for 35 seconds. What is the displacement?

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

805m

Explanation:

Speed = displacement/time

Speed = 23m/s

Time = 35s

Displacement = speed × time

= 23 × 35

= 805m

The motion of an object undergoing constant acceleration can be modeled by the kinematic equations. One such equation is xf=xi+v

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

a = 1.72 m/s²

Explanation:

The given kinematic equation is the 2nd equation of motion. The equation is as follows:

xf = xi + (Vi)(t) + (1/2)(a)t²

where,

xf = the final position = 5000 m

xi = the initial position = 1000 m

Vi = the initial velocity = 15 m/s

t = the time taken = 60 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

5000 m = 1000 m + (15 m/s)(60 s) + (1/2)(a)(60 s)²

5000 m = 1000 m + 900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m = 1900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m - 1900 m = a(1800 s²)

a(1800 s²) = 3100 m

a = 3100 m/1800 s²

a = 1.72 m/s²
