Describe the properties of metals, non-metals, and metalloids

Physics

<span><span>Metals are generally shiny, malleable, and hard. Metals are also good conductors of electricity. Examples of metals are Gold, Silver, Iron, Uranium, and Zinc. </span><span>Non-metals do not conduct heat or electricity very well. Non-metals are typically brittle and are not easily molded into shapes. Example non-metal elements are Hydrogen and Carbon. </span><span>Metalloids share characteristics of both metals and non-metals and are also called semimetals. Metalloids are typically semi-conductors, which means that they both insulate and conduct electricity. This semi-conducting property makes Metalloids very useful as a computer chip material. Examples of metalloid elements are Silicon and Boron. </span></span>

A light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 34.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a
sleet_krkn [62]

When the spring is extended by 44.5 cm - 34.0 cm = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m, it exerts a restoring force with magnitude R such that the net force on the mass is

∑ F = R - mg = 0

where mg = weight of the mass = (7.00 kg) g = 68.6 N.

It follows that R = 68.6 N, and by Hooke's law, the spring constant is k such that

k (0.105 m) = 68.6 N   ⇒   k = (68.6 N) / (0.105 m) ≈ 653 N/m

Determine the change in velocity of a car that starts at rest and has a final velocity of 20 miles per second North
Katen [24]

Answer: The change in velocity is 20mph

Explanation: The change in velocity is the difference between the final velocity and the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is 0 and the final velocity is 20mph.

Using the formula dV=Vf-Vi

dV=20-0

dV=20mph North

If you have 10.0 g of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?
Nat2105 [25]
The formula for the mass that remains:
m=m_0 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{T}
m₀ - the initial mass, t - time, T - the half-life

m_0=10 \ g \\&#10;T=14 \ d \\&#10;t=42 \ d \\ \\&#10;m=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{42}{14}=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^3=10 \times \frac{1}{8}=10 \times 0.125=1.25

The answer is c. 1.25 g.

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.
