1) metal
Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.
Answer:
Explanation:
We need to assume that the density of the concrete is about 2350 Kg/m^3. And using the dimensions of the highway we can calculate the volume of the highway.

(a) 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²
Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²
Kinetic energy is rotational.
Total kinetic energy is 
Work done is change in kinetic energy.
To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.
Center of mass is at
