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.

I have a question, it concerns hydrostatic buoyancy and Archimedes' law.

saw5 [17]

Answer: the lvl wud remain the same

Explanation: as per Archimedes Principle, the weight of the water displaced by the object is equal to the weight of the object. When the ship initially went into the pool, it wud hv displaced some water. When the anchor is dropped, the level does not change coz the anchor was already in the ship and no extra weight has been added, so the weight of the anchor has already been accounted for in the first place when the ship was first placed in the pool

A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. T

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

$\Delta U = Q-W$

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)$

Where

$\dot{m} =$ Mass flow

$h_1 =$ Specific Enthalpy (IN)

$h_2 =$ Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

$g =$ Gravity

$z_{1,2} =$ Heigth state (In, OUT)

$V_{1,2} =$ Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

$T_i = 10\°C$

$P_1 = 100kPa$

$\dot{m} = 5kg/s$

$z_2 = 20m$

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

$h_1 = h_2$

$V_1 = V_2$

Then we have that our equation now is,

$\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}$

$\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}$

$\dot{W} = -0.98kW$

Douglas has a segment with endpoints I(5, 2) and J(9, 10) that is divided by a point K such that IK and KJ form a 2:3 ratio. He

Rufina [12.5K]

For the answer to the question above,
the distance from i to j is 5 parts
(2 parts from i to k and 3 parts from k to j)

The y distance from i to j is
10 - 2 = 8

Each part is 8/5 = 1.6
Therefore the distance between the 2 parts from i to k is 3.2

From the y coordinate of I which is 2 plus the 3.2 to point k
2 + 3.2 = 5.2

Answer y =5.2

Now just convert that to fraction and that will be the answer

Suppose you could fit 100 dimes, end to end, between your card with the pinhole and your dime-sized sunball. how many suns could

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 100 suns

Explanation:

We can solve this with the following relation:

$\frac{d}{x_{sunball-pinhole}}=\frac{D}{x_{sun-pinhole}}$
