According to accepted atomic models, the reason that metals are good conductors is because they have free electrons in their outer shell that are free to roam, therefore allowing for higher levels of conductivity than nonmetallic materials.

Which of the following would have more momentum than fiona, a 313kg hippo, running at 8m/s?

kap26 [50]

Let's calculate the momentum of Fiona, given by the product between its mass and its speed:
$p=mv=(313 kg)(8 m/s)=2504 kg m/s$

Now let's compare it with the momentum of the other animals:
a) the mass of the sea turtle is missing, so we cannot calculate its momentum.
b) the momentum of the dolphin is
$p=mv=(150 kg)(18 m/s)=2700 kg m/s$
c) the momentum of the horse is
$p=mv=(380 kg)(4 m/s)=1520 kg m/s$
d) the momentum of the lion is
$p=mv=(190 kg)(11 m/s)=2090 m/s$

And we can see that the correct answer is b), because the momentum of the dolphin is greater than the momentum of Fiona.

You move a 2.5 kg book from a shelf that is 1.2 m above the ground to a shelf that is 2.6 m above the ground. What is the change

Sophie [7]

The change in potential energy of an object is given by
$U=mg \Delta h$
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
$\delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the object

In our problem, $m=2.5 kg$ is the mass of the book, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and
$\Delta h=2.6 m -1.2 m=1.4 m$ is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
$U=mg\Delta h=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.4 m)=34.3 J$
