The physical and chemical properties of metal can differ between the elements but if we try and generalize.

Physical properties are that they are hard, dense, shiny, malleable (can be bent), ductile (can be pulled into wires), a good conductor of heat and have high melting points meaning that they are solid at room temperature

Their chemical properties include being good electrical conductors, they make metallic bonds (ionic bonds with non-metals) and their atoms are arranged in a lattice. They release hydrogen when reacted with acids and are usually cations (positive ions).

A rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

never [62]

Answer:

10.4mm

Explanation:

2 pages = 1 leaf

200 pages = 100 leaves

100 × 0.10 = 10 mm thickness

Total thickness = 2(0.20) +10 = 0.4+10 = 10.4mm

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

L_f = I₀ w + m r v

L₀ = L_f

m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

v = r w

w = v / r

m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

v = $\frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r} +mr} \ r v_o$

let's calculate

v = $\frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6 } + 0.020 \ 0.6 } \ 0.6 \ 4$

v = $\frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4$

v = 0.02 m / s

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

v = x / T

T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

x = 2π r

we substitute

T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

T = 2π 0.6/0.02

T = 188.5 s

reduce

t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is C
