Hi:) why do metals have free electrons? anyone able to explain the conduction part as well? Thanks!

Metals have free electrons due to the bonding in metallic substances.

In a metal there are strong attractive forces between the nuclei and the valance electrons.

Positively charged metal nuclei form a lattice (a cube like structure) each metal atom provides one or more valance electrons <u>that are free to move throughout the lattice</u> The electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei but not one individual nuclei, this is called non-directional bonding since it occurs in all directions.

Now all metals are conductive becuase of the free to move (delocalised) electrons. Since the valance electrons are free to move throughout the lattice they are able to carry a charge. (Ionic solids cannot since the ionic solids form a tightly packed lattice with cations and anions which have no free moving electrons, electrons have to be able to move to carry a charge)

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 m in 4 s?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 2000 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

power = ?

Weight of object = 200-N

height = 4 m

Time = 4 s

Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.

i.e Power = work / time

(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)

Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time

Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s

Power = 8000Nm / 4s

Power = 2000 watts

Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.

Please tell me if this is Newton's first law, second, or third law of motion. There can be more than one of the same answer very
AfilCa [17]

Answer: Hope This Helps!

Explanation:

1: Newton’s first law of motion can explain how a magician pulls a tablecloth from underneath the dishes. A negligible horizontal force is applied during the process. As per Newton’s first law of motion, the dishes and glasses remain in their state of motion (rest); as a result, they remain undisturbed.

2: Newton's First Law of Motion is defined as "An object at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."In soccer, when the soccer ball is in the soccer field and it is not moving, that means that it is at rest and there is no force acting upon it. When there is a person that is ready to play soccer and wants to kick the ball and play, then the unbalanced force would be the power from the person's foot.

3: Newtons third law can explain, as the cannonball is pushed forwards by the expanding high-pressure gases created by the exploding gunpowder, it pushes back on these gases. The gases push back on the cannon itself, causing it to roll backwards. Alternative answer: the cannon pushes forward on the cannonball. the reaction force is the cannonball pushing backwards on the cannon.

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?
xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.
