Answer : The purpose of the zigzag line on the periodic table is to separates the metal from the non-metal.

Explanation :

Metalloids : These are the elements that shows both the property of metals and non-metals.

For example : Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium and astatine are the metalloids.

Metalloids separates the metals from the non-metals.

The zigzag line on the periodic table represent the metalloids.

Non-metals are found to the right side of the zigzag line that gains electrons to attain stability.

Metals are found to the left side of the zigzag line that loses electrons to attain stability.

Hence, the purpose of the zigzag line on the periodic table is to separates the metal from the non-metal.

(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

$v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?

netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W = (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>

A 1250 kg car, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary 5380 kg truck. After the collision, the truck moves forward

Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m₁ = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u₁ = 7.39 m/s

Mass of the truck, m₂ = 5380 kg

It is stationary, u₂ = 0

Final speed of the truck, v₂ = 2.3 m/s

Let v₁ is the final velocity of the car. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$1250\times 7.39+5380\times 0=1250\times v_1+5380\times 2.3$

$v_1=-2.5\ m/s$

So, the final velocity of the car is 2.5 m/s but in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.
