Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of energy (in this case heat) from one substance to another substance through direct contact. This definition rules out the option D which suggests that heat does not travel between objects of different temperatures.

It is also impossible for heat to be transferred from a cooler object to a hotter object (as claimed in option B) because the atoms in hotter objects are more energized than cooler objects and are hence able to pass there energy to the cooler object whose atoms in less energized or in a relaxed state if cold. This reason also rules out option A because the hotter object contains more energized particles and hence energy (heat) cannot be passed from the cooler object nor can the heat travel in both directions.

From the explanation in the previous paragraphs, it is clear that energy transfer in solids occurs when heat travels from the hotter object to the cooler object via conduction.

The electrical conductivity of a substance depends on the ability of the ____ in it to move. A) electrons B) neutrons C) protons

musickatia [10]

The correct answer to the question is A) Electrons.

EXPLANATION:

The electrical conductivity of a metal or any substance depends on the free electron concentration of the metals.

Free electrons are those electrons which are present in the conduction band of the metals. These electrons experience less amount of force attraction from the nucleus. Protons and neutrons do not contribute anything to the current conduction in a metal.These sub atomic particles are bound to the nuclei of atoms.

When we maintain potential difference across the two ends of a conductor, the free electrons are drifted towards the positive terminal of the battery.

Hence, electrical conductivity of a substance is the ability of the electrons to move inside the substance.

More is the conductivity of the substance, the lesser is the resistance to the flow of electrons inside the substance, and vice versa.

Derive the expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors in[1] paraleli [2] series

sergeinik [125]

The total resistance of an electric circuit with resistors widener series in the sum of the individual resistances:
Each resistor in a series circuit has a same amount of current flowing through it.
Each resistor in a parallel circuit has the same for voltage of the source applied to it.

When was this is are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the current through each resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the supply current. When resistors are connected in parallel they have the same potential differences across them.

Physics conversion <br> Convert 300 cm/min^2 into m/s^2 <br> Please give a thorough explanation!

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

8.33×10⁻⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

There are 100 cm in 1 m, and 60 s in 1 min.

300 cm/min² × (1 m / 100 cm) × (1 min / 60 s)² = 8.33×10⁻⁴ m/s²

A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: $0.05\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire $A_1=4\ mm^2$

Extension of wire $\delta l=0.1\ mm$

Extension in a wire is given by

$\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}$

where, $E=\text{Youngs modulus}$

$\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)$

for same force, length and material

$\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)$

Divide (i) and (ii)

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm$

MGS and later orbiters found spectral evidence for what minerals on the Martian surface? Check all that apply.

slamgirl [31]

Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters found the following minerals on the Martian surface;

Phyllosilicates

Carbonate
Sulfates
Iron oxide

The Mars Global Surveyors (MGS) and later orbiters suggest that the Martian crust contains a higher percentage of volatile elements such as Sulphur and chlorine than the Earth's crust does.

These scientists also conclude that the most abundant chemical elements in the Martian crust are those found in Igneous rock.

These elements include the following;

Silicon,
Oxygen,
Iron,
Magnesium,
Aluminum,
Calcium, and
Potassium.

They also, suggest that hydrogen is found in ice (water) while carbon is found in carbon dioxide and carbonates.

From the given options the minerals found in Martian surface include;

Phyllosilicates ------ these are sheet of silicate minerals

Carbonate
Sulfates
iron oxide
