Answer:

Shiny metals such as copper, silver, and gold are often used for decorative arts, jewelry, and coins.

Strong metals such as iron and metal alloys such as stainless steel are used to build structures, ships, and vehicles including cars, trains, and trucks.

Some metals have specific qualities that dictate their use. For example, copper is a good choice for wiring because it is particularly good at conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white-hot without melting.

Nonmetals are plentiful and useful. These are among the most commonly used:

Oxygen, a gas, is absolutely essential to human life. Not only do we breathe it and use it for medical purposes, but we also use it as an important element in combustion.

Sulfur is valued for its medical properties and as an important ingredient in many chemical solutions. Sulfuric acid is an important tool for industry, used in batteries and manufacturing.

Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant. It is used to purify water for drinking and fill swimming pools.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

$v^2-u^2=2ah$ , h is the maximum height and a = -g

$0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m$

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Consider two wheels with fixed hubs. The hub cannot move, but the wheel can rotate about it. The hubs are fixed to a stationary

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 4 N

Explanation:

Given that

$I=mr^2$

For wheel A

m= 1 kg

d= 1 m,r= 0.5 m

F=1 N

We know that

T= F x r

T=1 x 0.5 N.m

T= 0.5 N.m

T= I α

Where I is the moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration

$I_A=1 \times 0.5^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_A=0.25\ kg.m^2$

T= I α

0.5= 0.25 α

$\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2$

For Wheel B

m= 1 kg

d= 2 m,r=1 m

$I_B=1 \times 1^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_B=1 \ kg.m^2$

Given that angular acceleration is same for both the wheel

$\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2$

T= I α

T= 1 x 2

T= 2 N.m

Lets force on wheel is F then

T = F x r

2 = F x 1

So F= 2 N

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 2 N

The gamma ray released by each decay carries 140kev of energy. find the total energy e released by decays in the 2 hours.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

First, we would need to know the decaying isotope.
Next, we use the decay formula
A = Ao e^(-kt)
After determining the remaining amount after two hours, the decay reaction can be used to determine the number of gamma rays released. If the given is in terms of mole, then the total energy is
E = 140n KeV where n is the number of moles of gamma rays released
