Copper is a metal commonly used for electrical wiring in houses. Which metal conducts electricity better than copper at 20°C?

1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer is silver metal.
Conductivity measures the ability of a material or a metal to transmit energy, conductivity may be electrical, thermal or acoustical conductivity. The most electrical conductive element is silver, followed by copper and Gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity as compare to any element. However, copper and Gold are more often used in electrical applications since copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects t

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The force of gravity

Explanation:

Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.

$F_{g}=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}$

Fg = gravity force [N]

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]

m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]

r = distance between the bodies [meters]

If an object has zero acceleration, does it have to have zero velocity?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity would also be zero.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, therefore, there has to be a change in velocity for something to accelerate. which means without acceleration, the object has no velocity.

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves toward Earth?

Musya8 [376]

This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.
