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.

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume
enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g  =  .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

=  .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

Tres móviles, A, B y C, con las mismas características tienen los siguientes estados: A se encuentra inicialmente en reposo y ca
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

La respuesta es sí, hay una fuerza que actúa sobre el móvil A y es la única fuerza ya que A cae libremente bajo la influencia de la fuerza.

Explanation:

Según la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, un cuerpo continuará en su estado de reposo o en un movimiento uniforme en línea recta a menos que actúen sobre él fuerzas impresas.

Dado que el móvil A cae libremente, desde su estado de reposo inicial, según la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, experimenta una fuerza que actúa sobre él para hacer que caiga y continúe en caída libre.

El móvil B se mueve con una velocidad constante, por lo tanto, de acuerdo con la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, no hay fuerzas impresas que actúen sobre él.

El móvil C está completamente en reposo en el suelo, por lo tanto, tampoco hay fuerzas que actúen sobre él.

La respuesta es sí, hay una fuerza actuando sobre el móvil A y es la única fuerza cuando A cae libremente bajo la influencia de la fuerza.

Suppose a photon with an energy of 1.60 eV strikes a piece of metal. If the electron that it hits loses 0.800 eV leaving the met
JulsSmile [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the change of Energy in photons and the conservation of energy.

From the theory we could consider that the energy change is subject to

\Delta E = E_0 -W_f

Where

E_0 =Initial Energy

W_f = Energy loses

Replacing we have that

\Delta E = 1.6-0.8

\Delta E = 0.8eV

Therefore the Kinetic energy of the electron once it has broken free of the metal surface is 0.8eV
