B) Copper atoms have a loosely held free electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms.
NARA [144]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

When a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field, what happens to the electrical potential energy associated
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

B it decreases

Explanation:

the movement of a positive test charge in the direction of an electric field would be like a mass falling downward within Earth's gravitational field. Both movements would be like going with nature and would occur without the need of work by an external force. This motion would result in the loss of potential energy

[High Dive) above a pool of water. According to the announcer, the divers enter the water at a speed of 56 mi/h (25 m/s). (Air r
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)  it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity V_{f} for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as V_{i} the kinematics equation is written as

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2ah where a is acceleration

Substituting g for a where g is gravitational force value taken as 9.81

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since the initial velocity is zero, we can solve for final velocity by substituting figures, note that 70 ft is 21.3 m for h

V_{f}=\sqrt {(2gh)}= V_{f}=\sqrt {(2*9.81*21.3)}= 20.44275

Therefore, the divers enter with a speed of 20.4 m/s

The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)

The divers can enter water with a velocity of 25 m/s only if they have some initial velocity. Using the kinematic equation

V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh

Since we have final velocity of 25 m/s

V_{i}^{2}=2gh-V_{f}^{2}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(V_{f}^{2}-2gh)}

V_{i}=\sqrt{(25^{2}-2*9.81*21.3)}= 14.390761 m/s

Therefore, it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/5 if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s

In conclusion, the upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Grape juice solid-conduction , solid-convection,fluid-conduction , fluid-convection
Gelneren [198K]

The process by which the heat energy is transmitted between the atoms or molecules is known as conduction.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through the material that are caused by temperature gradient with the material ends in heat flux. The heat transfer done by movement and mixing of a fluid is known as convection.

If a fluid is taken and it is kept as stationary. If there is a temperature gradient across that fluid, there would be transfer of heat that occurs in the fluid. It is negligible when compared to convective heat transfer.

Because of the heat transfer from solid to solid, density of liquid changes and start to move in upward direction due to low density. This type of motion is known as convection currents.
