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 lunar module weighs 12 metric tons on the surface of the Earth. How much work is done in propelling the module from the surfac

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

Explanation:

Given that

Weight on the earth = 12 tons

So weight on the moon =12/6 = 2 tons

( because at moon g will become g/6)

As we know that

$F=\dfrac{K}{x^2}$

Here x= 1100 miles

F 2 tons

$2=\dfrac{K}{1100^2}$

$K=2.4\times 10^6$

We know that

Work = F. dx

$W=\int_{x_1}^{x_2}F.dx$

$W=\int_{1100}^{1140}\dfrac{2.4\times 10^6}{x^2}.dx$

$W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{x}\right]_{1100}^{1140}$

$W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{1140}-\dfrac{1}{1100}\right]$

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

10) Two students want to use a 12-meter long rope to create standing waves. They first measure the speed at which a single wave

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

To create a second harmonic the rope must vibrate at the frequency of 3 Hz

Explanation:

First we find the fundamental frequency of the rope. The fundamental frequency is the frequency of the rope when it vibrates in only 1 loop. Therefore,

f₁ = v/2L

where,

v = speed of wave = 36 m/s

L = Length of rope = 12 m

f₁ = fundamental frequency

Therefore,

f₁ = (36 m/s)/2(12 m)

f₁ = 1.5 Hz

Now the frequency of nth harmonic is given in general, as:

fn = nf₁

where,

fn = frequency of nth harmonic

n = No. of Harmonic = 2

f₁ = fundamental frequency = 1.5 Hz

Therefore,

f₂ = (2)(1.5 Hz)

When you stand on tiptoes on a bathroom scale, there is an increase in

pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point
