Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

Metallic bonds result from interaction of positively charged metal ions with free valence electrons which now forms an electron cloud around the metal ions. Electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and the electron cloud holds the metal ions together in the metallic bond.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: Weight

Explanation:The mass of an object is a measure of the quantity of matter in the object. This quantity remains constant under any circumstance.

However, the same cannot be said about the weight of such object.

The weight of the object is very much dependent on the acceleration due to gravity which is a accelerational pull (by convention-- a pull downwards).

This is why an object tends to fall when it is thrown upwards on the earth for instance.

The statements above consequently infer that since the gravitational field of Jupiter is greater than that of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on earth.

And since the weight of an object(W) is a product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity at that point.

Consequently, the object's weight on Jupiter would be greater than its weight on earth.

Please note; The Mass of the object remains constant everywhere.

A car travels a distance of 320 km in 4 hours. What is your average speed in meters per second?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

22.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we need to convert km to m by multiplying by 1000. This means that the car traveled 320 000 meters.

Next, we convert hours to minutes by multiplying by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour). This means that overall, the car traveled 320 000 m in 14 400 seconds.

The average speed can be found by using the equation $\frac{distance}{time}$ . After substitution, this gives the fraction $\frac{320 000}{14 400}$ , which reduces to 22 $\frac{2}{9}$ m/s, or about 22.2 m/s.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.6 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a

masha68 [24]

Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"

Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:
$F=mg=(6.89 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=67.6 N$
When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is
$\Delta x=43.2 cm-33.6 cm=9.6 cm=0.096 m$
And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:
$k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}= \frac{67.6 N}{0.096 m}=704.2 N/m$
