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!!

A truck traveling at a velocity of 33m/s comes to a halt by decelerating at 11m/s^2. How far does the truck travel in the proces

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds.

Initial velocity = 33 m/s

Final velocity = 0 m/s

Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2 m/s = 16.5 m/s

Explanation:

First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?

( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds

Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.

Chapter 14, Problem 042 A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.588 m and a face area of 4.19

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The workdone is $W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the cylinder is $h = 0.588\ m$

The face Area is $A = 4.19 \ m^2$

The density of the cylinder is $\rho = 0.346 * \rho_w$

Where $\rho_w$ is the density of freshwater which has a constant value

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$

Now

Let the final height of the device under the water be $= h_f$

Let the initial volume underwater be $= V_n$

Let the initial height under water be $= h_i$

Let the final volume under water be $= V_f$

According to the rule of floatation

The weight of the cylinder = Upward thrust

This is mathematically represented as

$\rho_c g V_n = \rho_w gV_f$

$\rho_c A h = \rho A h_f$

So $\frac{0.346 \rho_w}{\rho_w} = \frac{h_f}{h}$

=> $\frac{h_f}{h_c} = 0.346$

Now the work done is mathematically represented as

$W = \int\limits^{h_f}_{h} {\rho_w g A (-h)} \, dh$

$= \rho_w g A [\frac{h^2}{2} ] \left | h_f} \atop {h}} \right.$

$= \frac{g A \rho}{2} [h^2 - h_f^2]$

$= \frac{g A \rho}{2} (h^2) [1 - \frac{h_f^2}{h^2} ]$

Substituting values

$W = \frac{(9.8 ) (4.19) (10^3)}{2} (0.588)^2 (1 - 0.346)$

$W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J$

A 4 feet tall student went for swimming in a pool.He saw the depth of the water in the pool less than 4 feet.Will he be drowned?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

No, he won't be drowned.

Explanation:

We have given,

The height of the student = 4 feet,

Depth of the pool( in feet ) = x ( say ) < 4 feet,

Since, the depth of the pool < height of the student,

Thus, if the student went for swimming in a pool, however he does not know swimming, he will not be drowned until he is suffering from an injury or external force.
