Answer:

Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.  

Metal is an example of a conductor.  

Explanation:

Conductors are materials that have free electrons, so they allow electrical currents (which are made of electrons traveling) passing through them.

Let's analyze each statement separately:

- Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.  --> TRUE: conductors allow electrical currents to pass through them.

- Glass is an example of a conductor.  --> FALSE: glass is an example of insulator (insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of current)

- Metal is an example of a conductor.   --> TRUE: metals are generally good conductors of electricity, since they have many free electrons.

- Conductors do not allow electricity to easily move through them.   --> FALSE: it's actually the opposite, conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.

- Conductors restrict the flow of thermal energy. --> FALSE: conductors are generally also good conductors of thermal energy, so they do not restrict the flow of thermal energy.

Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do? *
babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)

Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb or rod, even though they have nonet charge. How is this possible?
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of  pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.
