Substances whose atoms readily give up electrons are considered to be which of the following?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: D
A substance with freely moving electrons is a good conductor of electricity. Metals are an example of good conductors of electricity because of this one property. They have freely moving electrons due to the metallic bonding and they readily give up electrons.

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the

tatuchka [14]

The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
$W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N$
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
$F=12 N$
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
$T \cos \alpha -F=0$
$T \sin \alpha -W=$
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
$\tan \alpha = \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04$
From which we find
$\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}$
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
$T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N$

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

$Q_H$

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

$Q_C>0$

That is why the answer will be

$Q_H$ , $Q_C>0$
