In the case of metal, it comtains delocalised electrons which can move freely throughout the metal. when heat is applied to one end of the metal, the atoms and delocalised electrons gain more kinetic energy and move faster and they hit the neighbouring atoms more and heat is transfer theoughout the matal through conduction.

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is
jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

our 3.80-kg physics book is placed next to you on the horizontal seat of your car. The coefficient of static friction between th
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Maximum force of friction possible = μmg

= .65 x 3.8 x 9.8

= 24.2 N

u = 72 x 1000 / 60 x 60

= 20 m /s

v² = u² - 2as

a = 20 x 20 / (2 x 30)

= 6.67 m / s²

force acting on it

= 3.8 x 6.67

= 25.346 N

Friction force possible is less .

So friction will not be able to prevent its slippage

It will slip off .

5. No matter what month and date your birthday is on, NASA says it has a significant picture from
padilas [110]

Answer:

The Hubble space telescope.

Explanation:

Hubble is a telescope that observers the sky 24/7 non-stop, which means that for every day of the year it would have made a significant discovery, which of course includes your birthday. Furthermore, you can actually go to NASA website and find out what discovery was made on your birthday! This shows both the vastness of the universe <em>(it really has to be huge for a telescope to have a discovery for each day of the year!) </em> and the ceaseless work of the telescope!
