The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.

An electric field of intensity 3.7 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.3
jekas [21]

Answer:

a)906.5 Nm^2/C

b) 0

c) 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Explanation:

a) The plane is parallel to the yz-plane.

We know that

flux ∅= EAcosθ

3.7×1000×0.350×0.700=906.5 N•m^2/C

(b) The plane is parallel to the xy-plane.

here theta = 90 degree

therefore,

0  N•m^2/C

(c) The plane contains the y-axis, and its normal makes an angle of 35.0° with the x-axis.

therefore, applying the flux formula we get

3.7×1000×0.3500×0.700×cos35°= 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Radda [10]

Answer:

\theta=34 \textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=55kg

Angle \theta =28.0

Coefficient of static friction \alpha =0.680

Generally, the equation for Newtons second Law is mathematically given by

For

\sum_y=0

N=mgcos \theta

for

\sum_x=0

F_{s}=mgsin\theta

Where

F_{s}=\alpha*N\\\\F_{s}=\alpha*m*gcos \theta

F_{s}=0.68*55*9.8*cos 28

F_{s}=323.62N

Therefore

\alpha mgcos \theta=mg sin \theta

\theta=tan^{-1}(0.68)

\theta=34 \textdegree
