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.

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

$F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}$

here given that

$F_1 = 130.0 N$

$F_2 = 4500.0 N$

now we will plug in all data in the above equation

$F_{net} = \sqrt{4500^2 + 130^}$

$F_{net} = 4501.9 N$

so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

$W=Fx$

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

$W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)$

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v₁.

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

$F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)$

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v₁.

$\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s$

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

“I know what the atomic number of this atom is, but I don’t know what the number of electrons is,” a friend says. How would you

liq [111]

Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

What is the relationship between Newton's first law of motion and inertia?

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation: Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.
