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

Physics

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

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.

An object accelerates 3 m/s2 , when a force of 6 N acts on it. What is the object’s mass
telo118 [61]

Answer:

<h2>2 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{6}{3}  \\  = 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

A white dwarf is:______.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

the exposed core of a dead star, supported by electron degeneracy pressure.

Explanation:

A white dwarf is a low luminosity exposed core of a dead star having mass comparable to the sun but volume comparable to the earth . So its density is very high . These stars have lost the capacity to generate energy through the process of fusion . Due to high gravitational energy , it goes on shrinking but ultimately balanced by electron degeneracy pressure. It is not a main sequence star as it has lost the power of fusion .

A skydiver prepares to jump out of a plane. Explain how gravity and air resistance will affect the motion of the skydiver before
ahrayia [7]
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.
