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.

sergejj [24]
Heat, like sound, is kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures heave more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. 

So the answer is A.

Just need to confirm an answer
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Remark

If, when it reaches its maximum height where the PE is the greatest, that the maximum energy is when the ball is first kicked. That would mean its starting energy is 10 Joules.

Formula

KE = 1/2 m v^2

Givens

KE = 10 J

m = 0.2 kg

v = ?

Solution

10 = 1/2 * 0.2 * v^2

10 * 2 = 0.2 * v^2

20 = 0.2 * v^2

20/0.2 = v^2

100 = v^2

v = 10 m/s
