Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell
Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.
Answer:
It traveled 4 centimeters.
Explanation:
In a speed versus time graph, the distance travelled is given by the area under the graph.
In this graph we have the following:
- The speed of the object is v = 1 cm/s between time t = 0 s and t = 4 s
- The speed of the object is v = 0 cm/s between time t = 4 s and t = 8 s
Since the speed in the second part is zero, the distance travelled in the second part is zero. So, the only distance travelled by the object is the distance travelled during the first part, which is equal to the area of the first rectangle:
' A ' is one crest of the wave. After every wavelength, there's another one.
' B ' . . . the vertical arrow under B shows the amplitude of the wave
' C ' is one trough of the wave. After every wavelength, there's another one.
' D ' . . . the horizontal arrow over D shows the wavelength.
Answer:
D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.
Explanation:
When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.
The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.
The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.
