It is malleable

Explanation:

The property that makes metals such as sterling silver the best to create hammered earrings is their malleability.

All metals have a unique and fascinating property of being malleable. They can be carved into any of shape. When hammered they simply draw out and retain their long range ordering of their crystal lattice.

This is made possible by the presence of metallic bonding between the atoms.

The bulk of the physical properties of metals can be attributed the metallic bonds in them.
Metals have large sea of electrons in them.
In forming metallic bonds, there is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms by loosing their outermost shell electrons.
Metals like silver have low ionization energy.
When they are hammered, they spread out the energy from the hammering.

10. How much U.S. oil demand is represented by the large oil tanker?

dexar [7]

Base on my research, as of 2004 The U.S. devours about 20 million barrels of oil a day, according to the CIA. But base on Wikipedia, it says that a normal large tanker can only carry around 2 million barrels of oil. So to supply the U.S with this oil per day, it needs 10 normal large oil tankers.

A 3.6-volt battery is used to operate a cell phone

Marina CMI [18]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Potential energy, $V=3.6\ V$

Power dissipated, $P=0.064\ Watt$

We know that the power dissipated is given by :

$P=VI$

I is the current passing through the phone.

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}$

$I=\dfrac{0.064\ W}{3.6\ V}$

$I=0.017\ A$

I = 0.018 A

Hence, the current that passes through the phone is (1) 0.018 A.

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

$\epsilon_0$ = Electric constant = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}$

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}$

Number of electron is given by

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}$

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.
