Answer:

looseness of outer electrons in metal atoms

Explanation:

Unlike in insulators the valance electrons in metals are free to roam inside the boundaries of the metal slab. These electrons are called free electrons.

These electrons are free to move because there is no gab between their valance band and conduction band.

Since they are free to move they can transfer charges easily and be a good conductor.

Also heat exchange takes place when one electron collides with another moving electron or a stationary atom.

This is why metals are both good heat conductors and good electrical conductors.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Metals are both good heat conductors and good electrical conductors because of the </em><em>looseness of outer electrons in metal atoms</em>

_________________________

Unlike nonmetals that are insulators, most metals are both good heat conductors and good electrical conductors. This is because within a solid metal there is one or more outer electrons in each atom that become detached and can move freely through the solid metal, but <em>what about the other electrons?</em>  Well, the y remain bound to the positively charged nuclei, and bound within the material in almost fixed positions. On the other hand, insulators are material having few, very few or no electrons that are allowed to move freely through  the material.

You are at the edge of a diving board that is 9 meters above the water. If you weigh 500 Newtons, what is your potential energy?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

4500 J

Explanation:

First, let's define some equations and derivations.

Our potential energy formula is:

  • \displaystyle U = mgh

Where <em>m </em>is mass (in kg), <em>g</em> is the gravitational constant (in m/s²), and <em>h</em> is height (in m).

We also know that <em>mg</em> is equal to the weight of an object (in N), from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma (Force is equal to [constant] mass times acceleration).

Therefore, we can simply substitute force into the equation:

  • \displaystyle U = Fh

Where <em>F</em> is the force (in N) and <em>h</em> is still height (in m).

Now we can calculate the amount of potential energy in our system, measured in joules.

Substitute in the given variables, F = 500 N and h = 9 m:

  • \displaystyle U = (500 \ N)(9 \ m)

Using simple Pre-Algebra rules, we find that:

  • \displaystyle U = 4500 \ J

This tells us that the we have 4500 joules of potential energy when I am 9 meters above the water on the edge of the diving board.
