Why do metals make good electrical conductors?

Physics
1 answer:
alexdok [17]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A triangular plate with a non-uniform areal density has a mass M=0.500 kg. It is suspended by a pivot at P and can oscillate as
malfutka [58]

The period of the oscillations.T = 1.2042s

Opposition is the process of any quantity or measure fluctuating repeatedly about its equilibrium value throughout time. This process is referred to as oscillation. Oscillation, a periodic fluctuation of a substance, can also be described as alternating between two values or rotating around a central value.

Typically, the mathematical formula for the moment of inertia is

T = 2 π √(I / mgd)

Therefore, a moment of inertia

I = 9.00×10-3 + md^2 ;

I=9.00*10^{-3}+ 0.5 * 0.3^2

I=0.054

T=2\pi \sqrt{0.5*9.8*0.3}

T=1.2042s

The period of the oscillations.T = 1.2042s

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is a constant, 3.0 × 108 m/s. The wavelength of a wave is 0.3 meters. What is the frequency
marusya05 [52]

Answer: option B. 1.0 × 10⁹ Hz


Explanation:


The speed, s, of a wave, equals the product of its frequency, ν, times its wavelength, λ:

  • s = νλ.

As the question states, the speed of an electromagnetic wave is a constant, c, equal to 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s.


Substituting this constant in the equation for the speed of the wave, you get:

  • c =  νλ.

From that equation, you can solve for the frequency to show the inverse realation of frequency and wavelength:

  • ν =  c / λ

Now, you just have to substitute values and compute:

  • ν =  c / λ = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s / 0.3m = 10. × 10⁸ Hz = 1.0 × 10⁹ Hz

timama [110]

Answer:

The light radiated from the Sun's surface reaches Earth in about 8 minutes. However, the energy of this light was released by fusion in the Sun's core about several hundred thousand years ago.

Explanation:

Nucleosynthesis is the fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements. For the Sun the main mechanism of fusion is the proton - proton chain, in which two hydrogen atoms fuse into helium, in the course of the fusion photons are created.

When those photons start their travel from the core to the surface of the star, they will interact with different atoms in the whole way (the main free path).

More precisely, when a photon¹ is absorbed by an electron in an atom of a particular element, the electron will get to a higher state. When it comes back to the ground state, a photon will be emitted again.

The process described above is repeating multiple times for every photon until they reach the Sun surface.    

The whole process can take about several hundred thousand of years.

Key term:

¹Photon: Particle that constitutes light.

if you pull down on a mass that hangs from a spring, it will bounce up and down for a while before stopping. Why does the mass b
Alexxandr [17]
All spring have what is called a 'spring constant'. This 'spring constant' tells us how strongly the spring wants to go back into its regular position if it is stretched or compressed. So, if you pull on a spring and let go, it will pull back to its regular position, except it will go a little farther than its resting place, so the spring pushes back against the compression and the force will cause the spring to stretch again, but this time not as far as you pulled it. This process repeats until the stretching followed by compression becomes smaller and smaller until it appears to be settled.

Hope this helps you understand! Good luck!
