Answer:

D. Metallic atoms have valence shells that are mostly empty, which

means these atoms are more likely to give up electrons and allow

them to move freely.

Explanation:

Metals usually contain very few electrons in their valence shells hence they easily give up these few valence electrons to yield metal cations.

In the metallic bond, metal cations are held together by electrostatic attraction between the metal ions and a sea of mobile electrons.

Since metals give up their electrons easily, it is very easy for them to participate in metallic bonding. They give up their electrons easily because their valence shells are mostly empty, metal valence shells usually contain only a few electrons.

If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

What is the momentum of a 0.16-kg apple that moves with a speed of 2.7m/s

Ksju [112]

Answer: 0.432kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum of a body is defined as the product of the mass (m) of the body and its velocity (v).

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

Given mass = 0.16kg and velocity = 2.7m/s

Substituting the datas into the formula,

Momentum = 0.16×2.7

Momentum = 0.432kgm/s

Calculate the ratio of the resistance of 12.0 m of aluminum wire 2.5 mm in diameter, to 30.0 m of copper wire 1.6 mm in diameter

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: 0.258

Explanation:

The resistance $R$ of a wire is calculated by the following formula:

$R=\rho\frac{l}{s}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material the wire is made of. For aluminium is $\rho_{Al}=2.65(10)^{-8}m\Omega$ and for copper is $\rho_{Cu}=1.68(10)^{-8}m\Omega$
