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.

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert this
Paladinen [302]
1 m = 1 000 000 ym

converted other way we can say that:

1 ym = 10^{-6} m

Now, since we have ym^2 which is ym*ym which means:
1 ym^2 = (10^{-6}) ^2  =  10^{-12} m

we have 1,5 ym^2 which means that answer is:
1.5* 10^{-12} m

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

If opposing forces acting on an object are equal, the net force is
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

suppose, you push a box with 5 N, and another person pushes the box on the opposite side of the box with 5 N, the net force (resultant ) is 0 N, the box will not move if it wasn't moving

hope this helps
