They are both good conductors if both heat and electricity due to the sea of delocalized electrons that is floating around without getting bonded to an atom.

Such electrons can flow around freely to conduct heat and electricity.

In a nuclear reactor 1 g of mass is converted into energy. How much energy in Joules is produced?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

3 x 10^5  J

Explanation:

mass of substance, m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

According to the Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy associated with the mass is given by

E = m c^2

E = 0.001 x 3 x 10^8

E = 3 x 10^5  J

A crane lifts a 545 kg piano up into a high-rise apartment 75.0 meters above the ground. In order to do so, 5350 Newtons were ap
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Work done to pull the piano upwards is 401250 J

Explanation:

Work is done against the gravity to pull the piano upwards

So here we can say that work done is

W = mgH

here we know that

mg = 5350 N

also we know that

H = 75 m

now we have

W = 5350 \times 75

W = 401250 J

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

V = \pi r^{2}h

put r = h/2 so,

V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
