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 Earth and Moon are separated by about 4.0 10^6 m. Suppose Mars is [{MathJax fullWidth='false' 2.9 \times 10^{11} }] m from E

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

A karate master strikes a board with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s, decreasing to 1.0 m/s as his hand passes through the board

kenny6666 [7]

The force exerted on the board by the karate master given the data is -4500 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 1 m/s
Time (t) = 0.002 s
Mass (m) = 1 Kg
Force (F) = ?

<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

The force exerted can be obtained as illustrated below:

F = m(v - u) / t

F = 1 (1 - 10) / 0.002

F = (1 × -9) / 0.002

F = -4500 N

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

S = ut + 0.5at²

Here u = 0, and a = g

S = 0.5gt²

Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b) We have equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

v = 38.36 m/s

Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 3.91 s

We need to find distance traveled last second

That is

S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m
