Why are metals so much better at conducting than other solids

Physics
1 answer:
Over [174]3 years ago
5 0

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.

A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds

A 40 kg boy is moving upwards upwards in a lift with an acceleration of 2 m /s ^2 what would be the weight felt by him if measuu
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h2> 48kg</h2>

f = ma \\

w \:  =  \frac{f}{g}  \\

Explanation:

f \:  = ma \\ f - mg = ma \\ f = ma + mg \\ f = 40 \times 2 + 40 \times 10 \\ f = 480

w =  \frac{f}{g}  \\w =   \frac{480}{10}  \\ w = 48kg

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts

An object is placed 4.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm . Where is the image of the object?
Serjik [45]

The image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

<h3></h3>

What is the image of an object?

The image of an object is said to be the location where light rays from that object intersect with a mirror by reflection.

It is calculated thus:

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>How to calculate the image of an object</h3>

From the formula

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>Where </h3>

V = image distance fromthe object

U = object

f = focal length

Substitute the values

1÷v = 1÷8 - 1÷ 4

1÷v = - 1÷8

Make v the subject of formula

v = -8cm

Therefore, the image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)
