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

Physics

<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>

Calculate the entropy change that occurs when 1.0kg of water at 20.00 C is mixed with 2.0kg of water at 80.00 C
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The change in entropy ΔS = 0.0011 kJ/(kg·K)

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of water at 20.0°C = 1.0 kg

The mass of water at 80.0°C = 2.0 kg

The heat content per kg of each of the mass of water is given as follows;

The heat content of the mass of water at 20.0°C = h₁ = 83.92 KJ/kg

The heat content of the mass of water at 80.0°C = h₂ = 334.949 KJ/kg

Therefore, the total heat of the the two bodies = 83.92 + 2*334.949 = 753.818 kJ/kg

The heat energy of the mixture =

1 × 4200 × (T - 20) = 2 × 4200 × (80 - T)

∴ T = 60°C

The heat content, of the water at 60° = 251.154 kJ/kg

Therefore, the heat content of water in the 3 kg of the mixture = 3 × 251.154 = 753.462

The change in entropy ΔS = ΔH/T = (753.818 - 753.462)/(60 + 273.15) = 0.0011 kJ/(kg·K).

A mail carrier leaves the post office and drives 2.00 km to the north. He then drives in a direction 60.0° south of east for 7.00
den301095 [7]

Answer:

\theta=7^o

Explanation:

<u>Displacement</u>

It is a vector that points to the final point where an object traveled from its starting point. If the object traveled to several points, then the individual displacements must be added as vectors.

The mail carrier leaves the post office and drives 2 km due north. The first displacement vector is

\vec r_1=\ km

Then the carrier drives 7 km in 60° south of east. The displacement has two components in the x and y axis given by

\vec r_2=\ km=\ km

Finally, he drives 9.5 km 35° north of east.

\vec r_3=\ km=\ km

The total displacement is

\vec r_t=\ km+\ km+\ km

\vec r_t=\ km

The direction can be calculated with

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{1.39}{11.28}=0.1232

\boxed{\theta=7^o}
