Answer:

B) Copper atoms have loosely held free electrons in their outer shell that is able to move freely in other atoms.

Explanation:

A material which has loosely held free electrons in its outermost shell is always a good conductor. These loosely held free electrons move from atoms to atoms and cause conductivity. It is known that copper and other metals are good conductors. Therefore, option (B) supports the argument and is a right answer.

The trajectory of a projectile always ________________.

sattari [20]

Answer:

c) curves downward, below the initial velocity vector

Explanation:

A projectile is usually launched from a height, where it is launched with an initial velocity. From that point the gravitational force begins to act on the projectile causing it to decay. As time passes, the projectile advances but its height decreases. So its trajectory is curved downward, below the initial velocity vector.

a surface recieving sound is moved from it original position to a position three times farther away from the source of the sound

Delicious77 [7]

Sound intensity = 1/(r^2)

That is Sound intensity is indirectly proportional to the distance. Therefore, sound becomes 9 times less intense.
