Why are electrons, rather than protons, the principal charge carriers in metal wires?

<span>because in any atom the electrons are in the outer orbitals while protons are within the nucleus together with the neutrons. If energy is supplied electrons can jump to higher energy levels and leave the lower orbitals. 
Especially in metals the conduction band is partially filled at room temperature with allows free flow of electrons throughout the metal thus they carry charge. 
(it requires huge amounts of energy to remove a proton from the nucleus such things happen on the surface of sun).</span><span>

A 38.2 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 17.5 ◦ with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incline an
Tema [17]

Answer:

v = 8.57 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the wagon is pulled up by string system

So the net force on the wagon along the inclined is due to tension in the rope and component of weight along the inclined plane

So as per work energy theorem we know that

work done by tension force + work done by force of gravity = change in kinetic energy

F_t . d - (mgsin\theta)(d) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

so we have

F_t = 129 N

\theta = 17.5^o

m = 38.2 kg

d = 85.4 m

so now we have

129(85.4) - (38.2)9.8sin17.5 (85.4) = \frac{1}{2}(38.2) v^2

v = 8.57 m/s

5. If one object has a greater speed than a second object. does the first necessarily have a greater acceleration? Explain, usin
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

5. not necessarily so that the first object could have left with initial velocity and the second not, so even if the second has a greater acceleration its velocity is less than that of the first

6. The acceleration of the motorcycle is

     SI System Reductions

     Vo = 80 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 22.2 m / s

     Vf = 90 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 25 m / s

     Vf = Vo + at at = Vf-Vo

     am = (Vf-Vo) / t

     am = (25 -22.2) / t = 2.8 / t

      am= 2.8/t

For the bike we have

      Vf = 10 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 2.78 m / s

      Vo = 0

      ab = (Vf -Vo) / t

      ab = (2.78 -0) / t

      ab = 2.8/t

Since time is the same for both of us, if we round to Significant figures the two accelerations are equal

7. If when an object is slowing or slowing down.

     For example, a car goes north and must stop at the traffic light, the acceleration of the brakes goes south

8. Yes, since an object can go to the left and the acceleration to the right, but the object will lose speed over time

9. in the launch of projectiles the acceleration is negative and the speed after half the path is also negative

10. Car B must be moving to car A, because if they leave together B has more acceleration, bone that travels the distance at the same time

11. When we have friction, the velocity of an object increases by an external force, but the friction also increases the acceleration, but since it is positive, the velocity increases until the acceleration is zero and hence the velocity remains constant.

A rectangular block of copper has sides of length 15 cm, 26 cm, and 43 cm. If the block is connected to a 5.0 V source across tw
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm ,   i = 2.19 10⁸  A

Explanation:

Ohm's law is

          V = i R

Resistance is

         R = ρ L / A

Where L is the length of the electrons pass and A the area perpendicular to the current

      i = V / R

      i = V (A / ρ L)

      i = V / ρ  (A / L)

We can calculate the relationship between the area and the length to know in which direction the maximum currents

Case 1

      L = 0.15 m

      A = 0.26 0.43 = 0.1118 m2

      A / L = 0.1118 / 0.15

      A / L = 0.7453 m

Case 2

        L = 0.26 m

        A = 0.15 0.43 = 0.0645 m2

        A / L = 0.248 m

Case 3

       L = 0.43 m

       A = 0.15 0.26 = 0.039 m2

        A / L = 0.0907 m

We can see that the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm

Let's calculate the current

     i = 5 / 1.7 10⁻⁸ (0.7453)

      i = 2.19 10⁸  A
