The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, all while receiving and losing electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity. Example: copper is a great conductor of electric current.

Hello!

Just briefly, Metals are good conductors of electricity because of electrons moving freely in metals and metals like to give up electrons making them a great conductor of electricity.

Hope this helps! Thank you!!

A ball is dropped from rest at point O. After falling for some time, it passes by a window of height 3.3 m and it does so in 0.2
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

Explanation:

Height of window = 3.3 m

Time took to cover window = 0.27 s

Initial velocity, u = 0m/s

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

For the top of window (position A)

                     s_A=0\times t_A+0.5\times 9.81t_A^2\\\\s_A=4.905t_A^2

For the bottom of window (position B)

                     s_B=0\times t_B+0.5\times 9.81t_B^2\\\\s_A=4.905t_B^2

\texttt{Height of window=}s_B-s_A=3.3\\\\4.905t_B^2-4.905t_A^2=3.3\\\\t_B^2-t_A^2=0.673

We also have

                 t_B-t_A=0.27

Solving

         t_B=0.27+t_A\\\\(0.27+t_A)^2-t_A^2=0.673\\\\t_A^2+0.54t_A+0.0729-t_A^2=0.673\\\\t_A=1.11s\\\\t_B=0.27+1.11=1.38s

So after 1.11 seconds ball reaches at top of window,

       We have equation of motion v = u + at

                                     v_A=0+9.81\times 1.11=10.89m/s

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th
ankoles [38]
<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
