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.

Use this formula to solve this problem:
Maslowich
Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work.  We have to know that.

             Work = (force) x (distance)

The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is

               Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)

                         =   4,500 newton-meters  =  4,500 joules .

Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us.  (Thank you.)

                Power = (work) / (time)

                            = (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)

                            450 joules/second  =  450 watts.

We are usually not aware of the electric force acting between two everyday objects because
tatuchka [14]

Answer:We are usually not aware of the electric force acting between two everyday objects because most everyday objects have as many plus charges as minus charges. Option A

Explanation:An electric force is exerted between any two charged objects( either positive or negative). Objects with the same charge will repel each other, and objects with opposite charge will attract each other. The strength of the electric force between any two charged objects depends on the amount of charge that each object contains and on the distance between the two charges. Electric charges are generated all around us due to different surfaces bearing different types of charges. We are usually not aware of it because the quantity of positive charges equals the number of negative charges.

How is the rotation of the sun, different from the rotation of the earth
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The Sun has a north and south pole, just as the Earth does, and rotates on its axis. However, unlike Earth which rotates at all latitudes every 24 hours, the Sun rotates every 25 days at the equator and takes progressively longer to rotate at higher latitudes, up to 35 days at the poles. This is known as differential rotation.

cluponka [151]

final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration x time) <span>
3.9 m/s = 0 m/s + (acceleration x 0.11 s) 
3.9 m/s / 0.11 s = acceleration 
30.45 m/s^2 = acceleration 

distance = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2(acceleration)(time^2) 
distance (0 m/s x 0.11 s) + 1/2(30.45 m/s^2)(0.11s ^2)
