<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>

Andrew is pushing this block to the right across on the floor. Which force in the free body diagram is pointing in the wrong dir
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

the normal force

Explanation:

The free-body diagram represents all the forces acting on an object. In this example, there are four forces acting on the box: an applied force, the friction (which always act opposite to the applied force), the weight of the box (which is always downward), and the normal force.

The normal force is the reaction force exerted by the surface on which the box is moving on the box, and this reaction force is always opposite to the force exerted by the box on the surface. Since the latter is downward, it means that the normal force must be upward, so in the diagram it is wrong.

9. Seismic waves are
Brilliant_brown [7]

d. both a and b

Explanation:

Seismic waves are both transverse and compressional or longitudinal waves.

A seismic wave is an elastic wave that causes a sudden disturbance in earth materials.

  • Seismic waves are both longitudinal and transverse waves.
  • There are two main types of seismic waves which are the surface and body waves.
  • The surface waves runs on the earth surface. These are the rayleigh and love waves.
  • The surface waves causes damages on the earth surface as they are both longitudinal and transverse.
  • Body waves moves within the earth surface. They are p-waves and s-waves.
  • P-waves are longitudinal or compressional waves that propagates within the earth surface.
  • S-waves are transverse waves that moves perpendicularly to their direction of propagation.
