It is more likely to be a metal. This is because metals are good heat conductors whereas non metals tend to be poor heat conductors.

dexar [7]

Answer:

K = 0.076 J

Explanation:

The height of the target, h = 0.860  m

The mass of the steel ball, m = 0.0120 kg

Distance moved, d = 1.50 m

We need to find the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck. Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put all the values,

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 0.860 }{9.8}} \\\\=0.418\ s

The velocity of the ball is :

v=\dfrac{1.5}{0.418}\\\\= $$3.58\ m/s

The kinetic energy of the ball is :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0120\times 3.58^2\\\\=0.076\ J

So, the required kinetic energy is 0.076 J.

Which of the following is generally true for people in their old age?
zhenek [66]

Answer:As people get older, most become better able to regulate negative feelings and emphasize the positive.

Explanation: With age, your skin thins and becomes less elastic and more fragile, and fatty tissue just below the skin decreases. You might notice that you bruise more easily. Decreased production of natural oils might make your skin drier. Wrinkles, age spots and small growths called skin tags are more common.

An optical disk drive in a computer can spin a disk at up to 10,000 rpm. If a particular disk is spun at 5050 rpm while it is be
Ber [7]

Answer:

α = 1215.71 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of an object is defined as the time rate of change of angular velocity of he object. The formula for the angular acceleration of an object is given as follows:

α = (ωf - ωi)/Δt

where,

α = angular acceleration of the disk = ?

ωf = Final Angular Velocity = 0 rad/s (Since disk finally stops)

ωi = Initial Angular Velocity = (5050 rpm)(2π rad/rev)(1 min/60 s)

ωi = 528.83 rad/s

Δt = time interval = 0.435 s

Therefore,

α = (0 rad/s - 528.83 rad/s)/(0.435 s)

α = - 1215.71 rad/s²

here, negative sign indicates that the direction of acceleration is opposite to the direction of angular velocity or the angular motion. So, the magnitude of acceleration will be:

<u>α = 1215.71 rad/s²</u>
