List 10 uses of metals​

Physics
1 answer:
algol [13]2 years ago
8 0

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.

A force of 1.5 × 102 N is exerted on a charge of 1.4 × 10–7 C that is traveling at an angle of 75° to a magnetic field.
Marysya12 [62]

Option (B) is correct.The magnetic field strength=8.5 x 10² T

Explanation:

the magnetic force Fm is given by

Fm= q V B sinθ

q= charge=1.4 x 10⁻⁷ C

v= velocity= 1.3 x 10⁶ m/s

B= magnetic field strength

Fm= magnetic force= 1.5 x 10² N

θ=75°

so 1.5 x 10²=(1.4 x 10⁻⁷) (1.3 x 10⁶ ) (B) sin75

B=8.5 x 10² T

Tema [17]

Answer:

33.6\times10^{-4}}\text{ m} = 3.36 mm

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

V = IR (Voltage = Current * Resistance)

R = \dfrac{V}{I}

The geometric definition of resistance is

R = \rho\dfrac{l}{A}

where \rho is the resistivity of the material, l  and A are the length and cross-sectional area, respectively.

A = \rho\dfrac{l}{R}

A = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}

Since the wire is assumed to have a circular cross-section, its area is given by

A = \pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} where d is the diameter.

\pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}

d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{\pi\times V}}

Resistivity of copper = 1.68\times10^{-8}. With these and other given values,

d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\times1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.5\times290}{3.14\times 0.55}}

d = \sqrt{1128.43\times10^{-8}}

d = 33.6\times10^{-4} \text{ m}

Si tenemos tres cubos del mismo tamaño (hierro, madera e icopor). ¿Qué diferencias puede encontrar entre ellos?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: La diferencia es el peso (o la masa), siendo que el cubo de hierro es el mas pesado, después viene el de madera y después el de icopor.

Explanation:

Ok, los 3 cubos tienen el mismo tamaño, lo que implica que tienen el mismo volumen.

Ahora es útil recordar la relación:

Densidad = masa/volumen.

Masa = densidad*volumen.

Nosotros sabemos que la densidad del hierro es mas grande que la de la madera, y la densidad de la madera es mas grande que la del icopor.

Entonces, por la relación anterior, y sabiendo que todos los cubos tienen el mismo volumen, podemos reconocer que el cubo de hierro tiene mayor masa, después viene el de madera y después viene el de icopor.

Y sabiendo que:

masa*gravedad = peso

podemos saber que el cubo mas pesado es el de hierro, después el de madera y después el de icopor.

Además de esta diferencia, también hay otras que no dependen tanto del tamaño del objeto, como pueden ser las capacidades caloríficas, el como reaccionan a campos eléctricos y cosas así que son triviales, pues son diferentes para casi todos los materiales.

An athlete is working out in the weight room. He steadily holds 50 kilograms above his head for 10 seconds. Which statement is t
postnew [5]

Answer:

A. The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.

Explanation:

We must remember the definition of work, which says that work is equal to the product of mass by the distance displaced. In this case, the athlete only does work when he lifts the weight from the ground to the point where he holds the weight suspended.

So when he's holding the weight, he doesn't do any work.
