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.

If you increase the elasticity of a material, what happens to the speed of a mechanical wave going through it?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

At the molecular level, materials are held together by bonds, which act like springs for small displacements from the equilibrium spacing between neighboring atoms. Push the atoms close, the bond pushes back to keep them apart. Pull them apart, the bond pulls the atoms closer. For those small displacements, it acts like a spring

The speed of the wave will be related to the stiffness of of those springs - you compress the material - how quickly do all of those little springs rebound and push their neighboring atoms away, sending that wave of compression through the material.

A ball is rolled of a 2.14m table at 8m/s. Find the time of flight for the ball and the horizontal range
Mama L [17]

Answer:

0.661 s, 5.29 m

Explanation:

In the y direction:

Δy = 2.14 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(2.14 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.661 s

In the x direction:

v₀ = 8 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.661 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (8 m/s) (0.661 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.661 s)²

Δx = 5.29 m

Round as needed.

How do I find frictional force with force applied?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: Choose the normal force acting between the object and the ground. Let's assume a normal force of 250 N.

Determine the friction coefficient.

Multiply these values by each other: 250 N * 0.13 = 32.5 N .

You just found the force of friction!

What is the distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond?
ZanzabumX [31]
The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.
