Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals a. both are gases at room temperature b. both can react to form acidic compounds c. both are very poor electrical conductors d. both can be pounded into thin sheets

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metalloids are the substances which show properties of both metals and non-metals.

Some properties of metalloids are as follows.

Metalloids are present in nature only in solid state.

They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

They are brittle in nature.

Metalloids are able to form alloys with metals.

Whereas non-metals are the substances which readily gain electrons to complete their orbital.

Some properties of non-metals are as follows.

Non-metals are brittle in nature.

Poor conductors of heat and electricity.

They can be in solid, liquid or gaseous form.

Thus, we can conclude that both are very poor electrical conductors is a property that both metalloids and non-metals share.

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts
