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

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 child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

$J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m$

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

$I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }$

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

$m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi) - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg$

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg
