Answer:

Explanation:

Metals are by far better conductors of electricity than most solids because individual atoms in a metal form a matrix which their outer electrons can move freely. These atoms form a "sea" of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

Solids are usually rigid substances with their atoms in a fixed place unable to move freely.

Anna Litical and Noah Formula are experimenting with the effect of mass and net force upon the acceleration of a lab cart. They

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

a net force of F causes a cart with a mass of M to accelerate at 48 cm/s/s.

F = M x 48

Mass M = F / 48

a )

When force = 2F and mass = M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 2F /F/48

= 48 X 2 = 96 cm/s²

b )

When force = F and mass = 2M

Acceleration = force / mass

= F /2F/48

= 24 cm/s²

c )

When force = 2F and mass = 2M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 2F /2F/48

= 48 cm/s

d )

When force = 2F and mass = 4M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 2F /4F/48

= 24 cm/s

When force = 4F and mass = 2M

Acceleration = force / mass

= 4F / 2M

= 4F / 2 F/48

= 48 x 2

Acceleration = 96 cm/s²

Under what conditions does q, the heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in

Paladinen [302]

Answer: When $w=-P\Delta V$

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.

$\Delta H=\Delta E+P\Delta V$

$\Delta E=q+w$

$\Delta H$ = change in enthalpy

P = pressure

$\Delta V$ = change in volume

$\Delta E$ =Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

w = work done on or by the system

$\Delta H=q+w+P\Delta V$

Thus for $\Delta E=q+w$ , $w=-P\Delta V$

The heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in enthalpy of the system when $w=-P\Delta V$

Veronika [31]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

At A, the boy begins walking up the stairs.

At B, the boy is at the top of the slide. He has acquired PE (potential energy).
The value of the PE is
(50 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(11.5 m) = 5635 J

At C, the boy has KE (kinetic energy).
The value of the KE is
(1/2)*(50 kg)*(12 m/s)² = 3600 J

Energy is lost between B and C due to friction.
The lost energy is
5635 - 3600 = 2035 J

The distance traveled along the slide is 108 m.
If F = the average frictional force, then
(F N)*(108 m) = 2035 J
F = 18.84 N

Answers:
(a) The mechanical energy lost by sliding is 2035 J.
(b) The average frictional force is 18.84 N
