Which of ONE of the following four elements has the most metallic properties?

Physics
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]3 years ago
7 0

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 <em>definitely</em> 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<em> metal</em> and<em> nonmetal </em>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!!

Four identical masses of 2.5 kg each are located at the corners of a square with 1.0-m sides. What is the net force on any one o
Ghella [55]

Answer:

F=8.0*10^{-10}N

Explanation:

See the attached file for the masses distributions

The force between two masses at distance r is expressed as

F=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}  }{r^{2} }\\ G=Gravitional constant \\

since the masses are of the same value, the above formula can be reduce to

F=\frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2} }\\

using vector notation,Let use consider the force on the lower left corner of the mass due to the upper left side of the mass is

F_{12} =\frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2} }j\\

The force on the lower left corner of the mass due to the lower right side of the mass is

F_{14} =\frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2} }i\\

The force on the lower left corner of the mass due to the upper right side of the mass is

F_{13} =\frac{Gm^{2}}{d^{2} }cos\alpha i +\frac{Gm^{2}}{d^{2} }sin\alpha j\\

The net force can be express as

F=\frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2} }j +\frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2} }i +\frac{Gm^{2}}{d^{2} }cos\alpha i +\frac{Gm^{2}}{d^{2} }sin\alpha j\\\\F=Gm^{2}[\frac{1}{r^{2}}+ \frac{1}{d^{2}cos\alpha }]i + Gm^{2}[\frac{1}{r^{2}}+ \frac{1}{d^{2}sin\alpha }]j\\\alpha=45^{0}, G=6.67*10^{-11}Nmkg^{-2}

if we insert values we arrive at

F=6.67*10^{-11}*2.5^{2}[\frac{1}{1^{2}}+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}^{2}cos45 }]i + 6.67*10^{-11}*2.5^{2}[\frac{1}{1^{2}}+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}^{2}sin45}]j\\F=5.643*10^{-10}i+5.643*10^{-10}j

if we solve for the magnitude, we arrive at

F=5.643*10^{-10}i+5.643*10^{-10}j \\F=\sqrt{(5.643*10^{-10})^{2} +(5.643*10^{-10})}^{2} \\F=8.0*10^{-10}

Hence the net force on one of the masses is

F=8.0*10^{-10}N

A football is left on the field outside during the winter months, the next morning the football was partially deflated. Using wh
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

B  

Volume decreases due to less molecular motion of the gas inside the football.

Explanation:

Assuming that the atmospheric pressure (and therefore, the pressure of the air inside the football) remains constant, this means that we can apply Charle's law, which states that:

"For a fixed amount of gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

\frac{V}{T}=const.

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is its absolute temperature

In the winter month, the air becomes colder, which means that the temperature of the air (and of the gas inside the football) decreases. As the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature, this also means that there will be less molecular motion in the gas, and therefore (as stated by Charle's law) the volume of the gas also decreases.

Which of these could NOT be used to find the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
34kurt
The "c) percent efficiency" could not be used to find the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane. There are two formulae that could be used to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane which stated as MA = Length/rise and Wout=Win. MA is the mechanical advantage, Wout is the output force, Win is the input force, and "rise" is the height of the inclined plane<span>.</span>

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 24 ft, the sides are 5 ft high, and the depth of the water is 4 ft. how much work is
sesenic [268]
The pumping work has the equation written below:
W = mΔh,
where m is the mass
Δh is the difference in height

We determine the mass from the density of water which is 62.5 lb/ft³.
Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = m = Density*Volume
m = (62.5 lb/ft³)(π/4)(24 ft)² = 9,000π
The lb is in lbm or pound-mass. To convert it to pound-force, lbf, we use the g/gc conversion factor which is equal to 1 lbf/lbm. Thus,

W = (9,000π lbm)(5 ft - 4 ft)(1 lbf/lbm) = 28,274 lbf·ft

What kind of situation could possibly have caused less energy to enter the Earth's system than exited it, several billions of ye
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Methane, which generally produces more heat and energy got decreased in the Earth's system, leading to less energy in the Earth system and less energy absorbed by Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Methane produces a great deal of energy than any other gas that plays a role in the greenhouse effect. In several billions of years ago, humans were not engaging in activities that could increase the amount of methane in the earth's system most especially the atmosphere. Such activities that were not done include burning fossil fuel, raising livestock as we have now, and waste disposal. Natural process which includes natural air reduces some amount of methane in the atmosphere.
