Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's definitely not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both metal and nonmetal properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!

You've been called in to investigate a construction accidentin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

57300 N

Explanation:

The container has a mass of 5300 kg, the weight of the container is:

f = m * a

w = m * g

w = 5300 * 9.81 = 52000 N

However this container was moving with more acceleration, so dynamic loads appear.

w' = m * (g + a)

w' = 5300 * (9.81 + 1) = 57300 N

The rating for the cable was 50000 N

The maximum load was exceeded by:

57300 / 50000 - 1 = 14.6%

An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 9.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after

Amanda [17]

Answer:

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the player (u) = 9.50 m/s

Final velocity of the player (v) = 0 m/s (Comes to a stop)

Displacement of the player (S) = 0.250 m

We know that, using equation of motion relating displacement (S), acceleration (a), initial velocity (u) and final velocity (v), we have:

$v^2=u^2+2aS$

Expressing in terms of 'a', we get:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2S}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

$a=\frac{0-9.50^2}{2\times 0.250}\\\\a=\frac{-90.25}{0.5}=-180.5\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the player is -180.5 m/s². So, the deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Now, using the first equation of motion, we have:

$v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 't'. This gives,

$t=\frac{0-9.5}{-180.5}\\\\t=0.053\ s$

Therefore, the the collision will last for 0.053 s.

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

The flaming gorge bridge, in wyoming rises above a dry gulch. If you throw a rock straight out from the bridge, horizontally, an

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

A car moves with an initial velocity of 19 m/s due north. (Part A) Find the velocity of the car after 5.6 s if its acceleration

galben [10]

Answer

Assuming

east is the positive x direction

north is the positive y direction

initial velocity , u = 19 j m/s

a) acceleration , a = 1.6 j m/s^2

Using first equation of motion

v = u + a × t

v = 19 + 5.6× 1.6

v = 28 j m/s

the velocity of the car after 5.6 s is 28 m/s north

acceleration , a = -1.5 j m/s^2

Using first equation of motion

v = u + a × t

v = 19 - 5.6 ×1.5

v = 10.6 j m/s

the velocity of the car after 5.6 s is 10.6 m/s north
