A "conductor" is a material that allows the charges to pass freely from one body to the other. This causes a movement among the electrons and this means that the charge will be passed entirely to the object receiving it. This is also called "conductive material."

Examples of conductors are: copper, aluminum, gold, silver, seawater, etc.

The opposite of conductors are called "insulators." These do not allow the free movement of charges from one object to the other.

Examples of insulators: plastic, rubber, paper, glass, wool, dry air, etc.

How do stars serve as evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang theory?

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ν0. find the minimum en

shusha [124]

The energy carried by the incident light is
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency of the light. The threshold frequency is the frequency that corresponds to the minimum energy needed to eject the electrons from the metal, so if we substitute the threshold frequency in the formula, we get the minimum energy the light must have to eject the electrons:
$E=hf=(6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.64 \cdot 10^{14}s^{-1})=3.74 \cdot 10^{-19}J$

If you double the velocity of a moving object, how is it's momentum affected?

Allushta [10]

Well momentum is = to Mass*Velocity so let's use an example to figure this out

If I weighed 50kg and I was jogging at 3m/s then I broke into a run at 6m/s how will me momentum be affected?
3m/s*50kg=150
6m/s*50kg=300

So as you can see by doubling the velocity you also double the momentum
