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.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

A velocity of $20 \: km/h$

Explanation:

Since the magnitude of the vector is equal to the magnitude of velocity, velocity of the 2 cm vector represents a velocity of $10\times 2= 20 \: km/h$.

A certain tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 215 Hz while each tip of its two prongs has an amplitude of 0.832 mm. (a) What

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{215}$

$T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s$

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}$

$\lambda=1.59\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

If a high jumper needs to make his center of gravity rise 1.50 m, how fast must he be able to sprint? Assume all of his kinetic

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

v = 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the jumper = 1.5 m

velocity of sprinter = ?

kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy

$m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$g h = \dfrac{1}{2}v^2$

$v =\sqrt{2gh}$

$v =\sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 1.5}$

v = 5.42 m/s

Speed of the sprinter is equal to v = 5.42 m/s

What are some ways that electric fields are similar to magnetic fields?

sattari [20]

Answer:

The correct answers are the proportionality of the fields concerning distance, vector fields, and forces at a distance.

Explanation:

The similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields are that electric fields are produced by two charges that can be positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, although they are also produced by moving charges. Both fields are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sources, both fields are vectorial and both act by distant forces.
