Why generally metals are good conductor and non metals are bad conductor of electricity ​

Physics
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]3 years ago
3 0

Metals - The close packing of the metal ions in the lattice and the delocalised electrons ensure it can carry kinetic energy through the lattice.

Non - metals have fewer free electrons and electrons are held tightly, meaning they're not allowed to move freely.

Calculate the energy in electron volts of X-rays that have a frequency of 3.00 x 100 Hz.
inn [45]

Answer:

E = 124 eV

Explanation:

Given,

The frequency of the X-rays, ν = 3.0 x 10¹⁰ Hz

The formula for calculating the energy of the electromagnetic waves of a single photon of having frequency 'ν' is given by the relation

                                    E = hν      joules

Where,

                       h - Planck's constant (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴  Js)

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                    E = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴  Js   x  3.0 x 10¹⁰ Hz

                                       = 1.9878 x 10⁻²³  J

Converting it into eV

                                    E = 1.9878 x 10⁻²³  x 6.242 x 10¹⁸    eV

                                       = 124 eV

Therefore, the energy in electron volts of X-rays is, E = 124 eV

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The  time taken is  t =  32.5 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed  of  first car is  v_1  =  66.7 \ km/h  =  18.3 \  m/s

    The  speed  of  second car is v_2  =  52.7 \ km/h  =  14.64 \  m/s

   The  initial distance of separation is  d =  119 \ m

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  0 m/s

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_1 * t

So

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (v_1 * t )

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (18.3 * t )

The distance covered by second  car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  119 m

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_2* t

       d_t =  119  + 14.64 *  t

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

    119  + 14.64 *  t  =   0   +  (18.3 * t )

   t =  32.5 \  s

An inattentive driver is traveling 18.0 m/s when he notices a red light ahead. his car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3
ryzh [129]

Speed of the car given initially

v = 18 m/s

deceleration of the car after applying brakes will be

a = 3.35 m/s^2

Reaction time of the driver = 0.200 s

Now when he see the red light distance covered by the till he start pressing the brakes

d_1 = v* t

d_1 = 18* 0.200 = 3.6 m

Now after applying brakes the distance covered by the car before it stops is given by kinematics equation

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

here

vi = 18 m/s

vf = 0

a = - 3.35

so now we will have

0^2 - 18^2 = 2*(-3.35)(s)

s = 48.35 m

So total distance after which car will stop is

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 48.35 + 3.6 = 51.95 m

So car will not stop before the intersection as it is at distance 20 m
