The statement is false. The truth is just the opposite. The presence of easily-moved electrons makes it a good conductor.
Answer:
1.The temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount
Explanation:
This is because, since their specific heat capacities are the same and we have the same mass of each substance, and the same amount of energy due to heat flow is supplied to both the glass and brick at room temperature, their temperatures would thereby increase by the same amount.
This is shown by the calculation below
Q = mcΔT
ΔT = Q/mc where ΔT = temperature change, Q = amount of heat, m = mass of substance and c = specific heat capacity of substance.
Since Q, m and c are the same for both substances, thus ΔT will be the same.
So, the temperature of each sample will increase by the same amount
Answer:
C) The spring constant of each half will be twice the spring constant of the original long spring since it will stretch only half as much under the same tension.
Explanation:
Hooke's law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by a distance is proportional to that distance. If is given as:
F = ke, where F is the force applied, k is spring constant and e is the extension.
If a force f is applied to a spring with a spring constant k and by a distance stretched (x) then:
k = F / x
For half the spring, if the same force F is applied, the stretch would be half (x/2), hence the spring constant C is:
C = F / (x/2)
C = 2 (F / x) = 2 * spring constant of original spring
Answer:
Explanation:
The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.
We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed
(1)
We solve in order to find the receiver mass:
