Answer:

has free electrons

Explanation:

A conductor has free electrons while an insulator does not. Free electrons are electrons which are not bounded tightly to their parent atoms, and are free to move given the right conditions (ie. a strong EM field).

Ricardo is on vacation, doing some mountain climbing. He notices that the higher he goes up a mountain, the colder he feels. He

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

B. an inverse relationship

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Ricardo is on vacation, doing some mountain climbing. He notices that the higher he goes up a mountain, the colder he feels. He remembers his physics teacher teaching about these types of relationships. What is the type of relationship between mountain elevation and temperature? A. a positive relationship B. an inverse relationship C. a neutral relationship D. a direct relationship

Solution

It is an inverse relationship because, as Ricardo's mountain elevation increases, he feels colder. So, as his mountain elevation increases, the temperature decreases.

Since one variable decreases while the other increases, it can only be an inverse relationship.

Let h be Ricardo's mountain elevation and T his temperature. So by inverse proportionality,

h ∝ 1/T

h = k/T

hT = k = constant

So, we have an inverse relationship and B is the answer.

An object moving with a constant

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Acceleration:

${ \tt{a = \frac{v - u}{t} }} \\ { \tt{a = \frac{20 - 10}{5} }} \\ { \tt{a = 2 \: m {s}^{ - 2} }}$

From third equation:

${ \bf{ {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as}} \\ { \tt{s = \frac{ {20}^{2} - {10}^{2} }{2 \times 2} }} \\ = { \tt{s = 75 \: m}}$

A bird sits on top of a 639 m tall tower. If it's gravitational potential energy up there is 2033 J, what is its mass?

iris [78.8K]

The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }$

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

$m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}$

So, finally we get the bird's mass as,

m of bird = 0.32 kg

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest

Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.
