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>

9. How is spring potential energy determined from a force versus position graph?
kolezko [41]

Answer: The potential energy associated with a mass attached to a spring depends on how much the spring is stretched or compressed. ... The gravitational force on the mass is −mg (“−” because the force points down). The force is the negative of the slope on the potential energy versus position graph.

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg

A 10 kg firework is shot in the air at 75 m/s. What is the momentum of the firework?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Momentum = 750 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10 kg

Velocity = 75 m/s

To find the momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Momentum = 10 * 75

Momentum = 750 Kgm/s

Explain why Newton's 1st Law is easily visualized in space.
andriy [413]

Answer:

Answer: Because it at rest indefinitely without any external force acting upon it. Newton's first law also applies when the rocket is gliding through space with no external forces on it, it will travel in a straight line at a constant speed forever
