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!!

The drag force that resists the motion of a car traveling at 80 km h^- 1 is 300 N.

kobusy [5.1K]

The power require to keep the car traveling is 6,666 W.

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is 3,999.6 W.

<h3>What is Instantaneous power?</h3>

This the product of force and velocity of the given object.

The power require to keep the car traveling is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

$P = 300\ N \ \times \ \frac{80 \ kmh^{-1}}{3.6 \ km h^{-1}/m/s} \\\\
P = 300 \ N \times 22.22 \ m/s\\\\
P = 6,666 \ W$

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is calculated as follows;

$E = \frac{P_{out}}{P _{in}} \times 100\%\\\\
60\% = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \times 100\%\\\\
0.6 = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \\\\
P_{out} = 3,999.6 \ W$

How does the strong nuclear force hold the nucleus of an atom together?

erastovalidia [21]

The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together.

Somehow, it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus, which all have the same charge but still stay close together somehow. (b)

Which of the following equations is balanced?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: c

Explanation:

The way to check which one is the correct one is to simply multiply and see if there are the same number of atoms in both sides for each element.

a. 2×2 atoms of Al ≠ 3×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O

BOTH MUST BE EQUAL FOR IT TO BE ADJUSTED!!!!!

b. 3×2 atoms of Al ≠ 3×1 atoms of Al
