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.

PLEASE HELP FAST Five-gram samples of brick and glass are at room temperature. Both samples receive equal amounts of energy due

suter [353]

Answer:

1.The temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount

Explanation:

This is because, since their specific heat capacities are the same and we have the same mass of each substance, and the same amount of energy due to heat flow is supplied to both the glass and brick at room temperature, their temperatures would thereby increase by the same amount.

This is shown by the calculation below

Q = mcΔT

ΔT = Q/mc where ΔT = temperature change, Q = amount of heat, m = mass of substance and c = specific heat capacity of substance.

Since Q, m and c are the same for both substances, thus ΔT will be the same.

So, the temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount

At time t = 1, a particle is located at position (x, y) = (5, 2). If it moves in the velocity field F(x, y) = xy − 1, y2 − 11 fi

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Its approx location is (5.18,1.9)

Explanation:

Using F( 5,2) = ( xy-1, y²-11)

= ( 5*2-¹, 2²-11)

= (9,-5)

= so at point t=1.02

(5,2)+(1.02-1)*(9,-5)

(5,2)+( 0.02)*(9,-5)

(5+0.18, 2-0.1)

= ( 5.18, 1.9)

What is the circle of least confusion?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100

balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be TRUE.

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s = (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = -- 0.4 m/s
