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.

A satellite has a mass of 5832 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.13 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit

elena55 [62]

Answer:

W = 28226.88 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the satellite, m = 5832 Kg

Height of the orbiting satellite from the surface, h = 4.13 x 10⁵ m

The time period of the orbit, T = 1.9 h

= 6840 s

The radius of the planet, R = 4.38 x 10⁶ m

The time period of the satellite is given by the formula

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2} g} }$ second

Squaring the terms and solving it for 'g'

g = 4 π² $\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2}T^{2} }$ m/s²

Substituting the values in the above equation

g = 4 π² $\frac{(4.38X10^6+4.13X10^5)^{3} }{(4.38X10^6)^{2}X6840^{2}}$

g = 4.84 m/s²

Therefore, the weight

w = m x g newton

= 5832 Kg x 4.84 m/s²

= 28226.88 N

Hence, the weight of the satellite at the surface, W = 28226.88 N

One advantage to using this form of circuit is that

It has to be the last one because whenever lights are turned on it decreases because all lights are on at the same time. It's good to just have one light on. It doesn't use as much electricity.

Betty (mass 40 kg), standing on slippery ice, catches her leaping dog (mass 15 kg) moving horizontally at 3.0 m/s. Show that the

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v = 2.18m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of Betty and her dog you take into account the law of momentum conservation. The total momentum before Betty catches her dog must be equal to the total momentum after.

Then you have:

$Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}=(M+m)v$ (1)

M: mass Betty = 40kg

m: mass of the dog = 15kg

v1o: initial speed of Betty = 3.0m/s

v2o: initial speed of the dog = 0 m/s

v: speed of both Betty and her dog = ?

You solve the equation (1) for v:

$v=\frac{Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}}{M+m}=\frac{(40kg)(3.0m/s)+(15kg)(0m/s)}{40kg+15kg}\\\\v=2.18m/s$

The speed fo both Betty and her dog is 2.18m/s

An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downwards 1.0 s later. They both reach the water 20 m below at the

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Explanation:
Kinematics equation for first Object:

but:
The initial velocity is zero

it reach the water at in instant, t1, y(t)=0:

Kinematics equation for the second Object:
The initial velocity is zero

but:

it reach the water at in instant, t2, y(t)=0. If the second object is thrown 1s later, t2=t1-1=1.02s

The velocity is negative, because the object is thrown downwards

Below, the two-way table is given for a class of students. Freshmen Sophomore Juniors Seniors Total Male 4 6 2 2 Female 3 4 6 3

julsineya [31]

The required probability is 3/4.We have to compute the probability

P(Female |Junior) because we have to find the probability of the female student and the given condition is that the student is junior.

Determine the total number of juniors.Juniors=2+6=8

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates the impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

Since the number of females who are junior is 6, determine the required probability.

P(Female|Junior)=6/8=3/4

Therefore, the required probability is 3/4.
