The correct answer to the question is A) Electrons.

EXPLANATION:

The electrical conductivity of a metal or any substance depends on the free electron concentration of the metals.

Free electrons are those electrons which are present in the conduction band of the metals. These electrons experience less amount of force attraction from the nucleus. Protons and neutrons do not  contribute anything to the current conduction in a metal.These sub atomic particles are bound to the nuclei of atoms.

When we maintain potential difference across the two ends of a conductor, the free electrons are drifted towards the positive terminal of the battery.

Hence, electrical conductivity of a substance is the ability of the electrons to move inside the substance.

More is the conductivity of the substance, the lesser is the resistance to the flow of electrons inside the substance, and vice versa.

Directions: Consider a 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. It falls to the ground. Think about t
Ronch [10]

1. The bowling ball have more potential energy as it sit on top of the building

2.The bowling ball have same potential energy and kinetic energy as it is half way through its fall

3. The bowling ball have more kinetic energy just before it hits the ground

4. The potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building is 784J

5. The potential energy of the ball as it is half way through the fall, 20 meters high is 392J

6. The kinetic energy of the ball as it is half way through the fall is 392J

7. The kinetic energy of the ball just before it hits the ground is 784J

Explanation:

Calculating potential energy and kinetic energy for all the instances,

1. ball on top of a 40 meters tall building

Potential energy at the top of building with a height of 40m = mgh

P.E = mgh =2*9.8*40= 784J

At the top pf the building since v=0 kinetic energy is zero

2. half way through a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 19.8 meters per second

Potential energy when it is half way through fall = mgH

where H represents new height that is equal to 20m

hence P.E=mgH=2*9.8*20= 392J

Kinetic energy  of the ball is \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}  = \frac{1}{2} *2*19.8^{2}=392.04J

3.  Just about to hit the ground from a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 28 meters per second.

The potential energy of ball just before it hits the ground = mgh= 2*9.8*0=0J

kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}= 784J

Molybdenum has the BCC crystal structure, has a density of 10.22 g cm-3 and an atomic mass of 95.94 g mol-1. What is the atomic
puteri [66]

Answer:

atomic concentration = 2 atoms/unit cell

lattice parameter: a= 3.22 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

atomic radius: r= 1.39 x 10⁻¹⁰m

Explanation:

The atomic concentration is the number of atoms that can fit into a unit cell. It is a known number for each unit cell crystal structure. For a BCC (body-centered cube) crystal structure, atomic concentration is 2 atoms/unit cell because there are a 1/8 part of an atom in each corner of the cube (1/8 x 8= 1 atom) and 1 central atom in the central position of the cube ⇒ n= 1 atom + 1 atom= 2 atoms/unit cell

In order to calculate the lattice parameter a, we introduce the atomic mass 95.94 g/mol and the density 10.22 g/cm³ in the expression for the volume of the cube:

Vc= a³= \frac{(95.94 g/mol) x (2 atoms/unit cell)}{(10.2 g/cm^{3}) x (6.023 x 10^{23} atoms/mol)  }

a³= 3.12 x 10⁻²³ m³

⇒ a = ∛(3.12 x 10⁻²³ m³) = 3.22 x 10⁻¹⁰m

Once we know the lattice parameter a, we can calculate the atomic radius r by using the expression of a for a BCC structure:

a= \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}

⇒ r= a x √3/4= (3.22 x 10⁻¹⁰ m) x √3/4 = 1.39 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
