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.

Answer:

D. The General Adaptation Syndrome

Explanation:

Hans Selye, an endocrinologist, developed the <em>"Stress Theory."</em> He showed the relationship of <em>"stress"</em> to the person's development of disease.

Under stress, <em>a person's body experiences changes</em>. The person tries to cope with these through three stages: <em>Alarm Reaction Stage, Resistance Stage and Exhaustion Stage. </em>It is at the<em> last stage</em> that a person's immune system is placed at a huge risk. Once the person is exposed to a stressor for a period of time, he becomes hopeless and his body tends to give up coping. He then succumbs to <em>stress-related illness.</em>

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature =\Delta T

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

Q=mc\Delta T

54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T

\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1  Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

A convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm is located 30 cm away from a
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 15 cm

Explanation:

According to the Lens Equation we have the following:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} (1)

Where:

f=10 cm is the focal length

u=30 cm is the distance between the candle (the object) and the lens

v is the distance between the image and the lens

Isolating v:

v=\frac{uf}{u-f}} (2)

Solving:

v=\frac{(30 cm)(10 cm)}{30 cm-10 cm}} (3)

Finally:

v=15 cm This is where the image is located
