Answer:

C. conductivity.

Explanation:

Conductivity measures the capacity of a material to allow electrical current to pass through it. This property depends on the physical factors, the temperature and the atomic structure of the material. For example, metals are good conductors because they have many electrons in the conduction band, that is, weakly attached to their nuclei, which allows a large flow of them.

Explain the differences in structure and use for life between oxygen gas in the atmosphere and ozone.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution

Suppose you are on a cart, initially at rest, which rides on a frictionless horizontal track. You throw a ball at a vertical sur

Len [333]

Answer:

$F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b$

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b$

Or equivalently:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0$

Where: $V_c$ represent the speed of the car and $V_b$ the speed of the ball

$m_c$ represent the mass of the car

$m_b$ represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

$F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b$

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b$

Or equivalently:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0$

Where: $V_c$ represent the speed of the car and $V_b$ the speed of the ball

$m_c$ represent the mass of the car

$m_b$ represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

A large lightning bolt is observed to have a 19500 A current and move 36 C of charge. What was its duration?

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current I is defined as the amount of electric charge Q (measured in Coulombs) that passes through a section of a conductor in each unit of time. The letter I is used to name the Intensity and its unit is the Ampere (A).

The intensity of electric current is expressed as:

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

where:

I: Intensity expressed in Amps (A)

Q: Electric charge expressed in Coulombs (C)

t: Time expressed in seconds (s)

Being:

I= 19500 A
Q=36 C
t=?

Replacing:

$19500 A=\frac{36 C}{t}$

Solving:

19500 A*t= 36 C

$t=\frac{36 C}{19500 A}$

t= 1.85*10⁻³ s= 1.85 ms (being 1 s= 1,000 ms)

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.
