What is necessary for a substance to be a conductor of electricity?

1 answer:

3 0

The main requirement for a good conductor of electricity is to have a lot of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons of the outer shells of atoms not bound with other atoms (for example through covalent bounds). These electrons are "free to escape" as soon as an electric field with enough intensity is applied to the material, and therefore these electrons will be free to move in the material producing an electric current.

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A (N/m²)

P1=P2

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$

$F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2} }{A_{1}}$ Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

$F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}$

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N

A 1.5-kg mass attached to an ideal massless spring with a spring constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless t

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) angular frequency ω = $\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

k is spring constant and m is mass attached

ω = $\sqrt{\frac{20}{1.5} }$

= 3.6515 rad / s

frequency of oscillation n = 3.6515 / (2 x 3.14)

= .5814 s⁻¹

x = .1 mcos(ωt)

= .1 mcos(3.6515t)

b ) maximum speed = ωA , A is amplitude

= 3.6515 x .1

= .36515 m /s

36.515 cm /s

maximum acceleration = ω²A

= 3.6515² x .1

= 1.333 m / s²

c ) Kinetic energy at displacement x

= 1/2 m ω²( A²-x²)

potential energy =1/2 m ω²x²

so 1/2 m ω²( A²-x²) = 1/2 m ω²x²

A²-x² = x²

2x² = A²

x = A / √2
