Which statement is true regarding copper's ability to conduct electricity? Select one: A. Copper is a good conductor of electric

ity because its atoms have a loosely held electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms. B. Copper is a poor conductor of electricity because its atoms are held in positions that cannot move. C. Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have electrons that are tightly bound to their shells and will resist movement. D. Copper is a poor conductor of electricity because it has a free electron in its outer shell that will flow to other copper atoms.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Copper is a transition metal and its atomic number is 29. The electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 8, 18, 1.

As there is only one electron in the outer most shell and as it is far away from the nucleus, therefore, it is a loosely held electron. Also being a metal, copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the statement copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have a loosely held electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms is true regarding copper's ability to conduct electricity.

• A plastic bag filled with air has a volume of
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The change in the mass of box = 0.01 kg

Volume of air in the polythene bag = Volume of air in the rigid box

Therefore, Volume of air in the box = 0.008 m^3

Now, Density = Mass/ Volume

=> Density = 0.01 / 0.008 = 1.25 Kg / m^3

The linear momentum of a truck of mass 5000 kg that is moving at a velocity of +30 m/a is ___ kg m/s
miv72 [106K]

Linear momentum of a truck is 1,50,000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Linear momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, which have a magnitude and a direction.

Linear momentum is a property of an object which is in motion with respect to a reference point (i.e. any object changing its position with respect to the reference point).

It's SI units are kg.m/s

Linear momentum is a vector quantity.

Linear momentum formula (p) = mass × velocity

Given data mass = 5000 kg ; velocity = 30 m/s

P = 5000 × 30

Linear momentum p= 1,50,000 kg.m/s
