Answer:

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that is mechanically weak in its most stable form, brittle if solid, and usually gains or shares electrons in chemical reactions. There is no universal agreement on which elements are nonmetals; the numbers generally range from fourteen to twenty-three, depending on the criterion or criteria of interest.

Answer:

Non-metals are those which lack all the metallic attributes. They are good insulators of heat and electricity. They are mostly gases and sometimes liquid. Some they are even solid at room temperatures like Carbon, sulphur and phosphorus.

Explanation:

Hydrogen, hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, carbon, nitrogen, arsenic, phosphorus, selenium are examples of non-metal.

An outside thermometer reads 57°F. What is this temperature in °C? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

marishachu [46]

Answer: It'd be 14.

Explanation:

The formula for this equation would be (57f-32)×5/9 which is equal to 13.889; and rounding that to the whole number would be 14.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 10N

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sketch of the two cases has been attached to this response.

<em>Case 1: The box is pushed by a horizontal force F making it to move with constant velocity.</em>

In this case, a frictional force $F_{r}$ is opposing the movement of the box. As shown in the diagram, it can be deduced from Newton's law of motion that;

∑F = ma -------------------(i)

Where;

∑F = effective force acting on the object (box)

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration of the object

∑F = F - $F_{r}$

m = 50kg

a = 0 [At constant velocity, acceleration is zero]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

F - $F_{r}$ = m x a

F - $F_{r}$ = 50 x 0

F - $F_{r}$ = 0

F = $F_{r}$ -------------------(ii)

<em>Case 2: The box is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5F making it to move with a constant velocity of 0.1m/s²</em>

In this case, the same frictional force $F_{r}$ is opposing the movement of the box.

∑F = 1.5F - $F_{r}$

m = 50kg

a = 0.1m/s²

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

1.5F - $F_{r}$ = m x a

1.5F - $F_{r}$ = 50 x 0.1

1.5F - $F_{r}$ = 5 ---------------------(iii)

<em>Substitute </em> $F_{r}$ <em> = F from equation (ii) into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

1.5F - F = 5

0.5F = 5

F = 5 / 0.5

F = 10N

Therefore, the value of F is 10N
