Difference between metals and nonmetals​

Physics
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: Metals refers to the natural elements that are hard, shiny, opaque and dense. Non-metals implies those chemical substances that are soft, non-shiny, transparent and brittle. Most metals are hard, except sodium. Most non-metals are soft, except diamond.

[High Dive) above a pool of water. According to the announcer, the divers enter the water at a speed of 56 mi/h (25 m/s). (Air r
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)  it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity V_{f} for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as V_{i} the kinematics equation is written as

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2ah where a is acceleration

Substituting g for a where g is gravitational force value taken as 9.81

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since the initial velocity is zero, we can solve for final velocity by substituting figures, note that 70 ft is 21.3 m for h

V_{f}=\sqrt {(2gh)}= V_{f}=\sqrt {(2*9.81*21.3)}= 20.44275

Therefore, the divers enter with a speed of 20.4 m/s

The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)

The divers can enter water with a velocity of 25 m/s only if they have some initial velocity. Using the kinematic equation

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since we have final velocity of 25 m/s

V_{i}^{2}=2gh-V_{f}^{2}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(V_{f}^{2}-2gh)}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(25^{2}-2*9.81*21.3)}= 14.390761 m/s

Therefore, it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/5 if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s

In conclusion, the upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

You work at a garden store for the summer, and you lift a 14 kg bag of fertilizer with a force of 227 N.
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration of the bag will be a=16.214m/sec^2  

(B) Weight of the bag will be 137.2 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the bag m = 14 kg

Force with which bag is lifted = 227 N

(A) According to newtons law we force is equal to F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So 227=14\times a

a=16.214m/sec^2

(b) Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that weight is given by W = mg , here m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

So weight W=mg=14\times 9.8=137.2N

So weight of the bag will be 137.2 N

Two friends, barbara and neil, are out rollerblading. with respect to the ground, barbara is skating due south at a speed of 5.9
Semmy [17]
<span>As seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west. Let's assume that both Barbara and Neil start out at coordinate (0,0) and skate for exactly 1 second. Where do they end up? Barbara is going due south at 5.9 m/s, so she's at (0,-5.9) Neil is going due west at 1.4 m/s, so he's at (-1.4,0) Now to see Neil's relative motion to Barbara, compute a translation that will place Barbara back at (0,0) and apply that same translation to Neil. Adding (0,5.9) to their coordinates will do this. So the translated coordinates for Neil is now (-1.4, 5.9) and Barbara is at (0,0). The magnitude of Neil's velocity as seen by Barbara is sqrt((-1.4)^2 + 5.9^2) = sqrt(1.96 + 34.81) = sqrt(36.77) = 6.1 m/s The angle of his vector relative to due west will be atan(5.9/1.4) = atan(4.214285714) = 76.7 degrees So as seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.</span>

Read about Pendulums. Then complete the sentences based on the diagram of the pendulum. Be sure to keep this
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Potential Energy is given as:

P.E = mgh

which means P.E is directly proportional to height 'h'.

Kinetic Energy is given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

which means K.E is directly proportional to velocity 'v²'.

Total Energy of Pendulum = K.E + P.E

1. The pendulum has the most potential energy at extreme position because the height is maximum at the extreme position.

2. The pendulum has the least kinetic energy at extreme position because the velocity is zero at extreme position.

3. The pendulum has most kinetic energy at the mean position because the velocity is maximum at this point.

4. The pendulum has the least potential energy at the mean position because the height is minimum.

A rule to remember: The point where K.E is maximum, P.E is zero at this point and vice versa.
