Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they contain free electrons in their atoms. The outer shell of atom's of metal have free electrons. These free electrons are responsible of electrical conductivity of metals. These electron are not bounded by the attraction forces of the nucleous. They are free to wonder in lattice of positive ion and thus allow electrical conductivity.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The period of rotation is

T=8.025s

Explanation:

The person is undergoing simple harmonic motion on the wheel

Given data

mass of the person =75kg

Radius of wheel r=16m

Velocity =8.25m/s

The oscillating period of simple harmonic motion is given as

T=(2*pi)/2=2*pi √r/g

Assuming that g=9.81m/s

Substituting our data into the expression we have

T=2*3.142 √ 16/9.81

T=6.284*1.277

T=8.025s
