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.

Charge X has twice as much charge as particle Y. The two charges are placed near each other. Compared to the force on particle X

Art [367]

The force on charge Y is the same as the force on charge X

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

In this problem, we can identify object A as charge X and object B as charge Y. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by

$F=k\frac{q_x q_y}{r^2}$ (1)

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_x, q_y$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

According to Newton's third law, therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by charge X on charge Y is the same as the force exerted by charge Y on charge X (and it is given by eq.(1)), however their directions are opposite.

Hey guys can you help me solve this problem "how long will it take a car travelling 30m/s to come to stop ifs its acceleration i

salantis [7]

Answer:

10 seconds.

Explanation:

We can use a kinematic equation where we know the final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and need to determine the time t:

$\displaystyle v_f = v_i + at$

The initial velocit is 30 m/s, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as we stopped), and the acceleration is -3 m/s².

Substitute and solve for t:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (0\text{ m/s}) & = (30 \text{ m/s}) + (-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}) t \\ \\ t & = \frac{-30\text{ m/s}}{-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}} \\ \\ & = 10 \text{ s} \end{aligned}$

Hence, it will take the car 10 seconds to come to a stop.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has

Vikentia [17]

Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.
