The answer to this question is that non metals are volatile. Volatile means evaporating easily. Non metals have the characteristics and properties of being brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Non metals are also good oxidizing agents and physically they may be in liquid, solid or gas state. Examples of non metals are carbon, sulfur, argon, neon, and hydrogen.

A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops a fish from a height of 4.7 m. The fish travels 9.3 m horizontally before it hits

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

(A) 9.5 m/s

(B) 5.225 m

Explanation:

vertical height (h) = 4.7 m

horizontal distance (d) = 9.3 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

initial speed of the fish (u) = 0 m/s

(A) what is the pelicans initial speed ?

lets first calculate the time it took the fish to fall

s = ut + $(\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}$

since u = 0

s = $(\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}$

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }$

where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2 x 4.7 }{9.8} }$ = 0.98 s

pelicans initial speed = speed of the fish

speed of the fish = distance / time = 9.3 / 0.98 = 9.5 m/s

initial speed of the pelican = 9.5 m/s

(B) If the pelican was traveling at the same speed but was only 1.5 m above the water, how far would the fish travel horizontally before hitting the water below?

vertical height = 1.5 m

pelican's speed = 9.5 m/s

lets also calculate the time it will take the fish to fall

s = ut + $(\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}$

since u = 0

s = $(\frac{1}{2}) at^{2}$

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }$

where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2 x 1.5 }{9.8} }$ = 0.55 s

distance traveled by the fish = speed x time = 9.5 x 0.55 = 5.225 m

Why did the potassium permanganate crystals start to dissolve in water without being stirred or shaken

because the substance in the potassium permanganate crystals are permeable to water, so that means it will dissolve instantly while poured into water

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,

Travka [436]

1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement $\theta$ is given by
$\theta = \frac{S}{r}$
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: $S=2600 m$ . Using the information about the radius, $r=0.35 m$ , we find the total angular displacement:
$\theta = \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad$

2) If we put larger tires, with radius $r=0.60 m$ , the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
$\theta = \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad$
