Answer:

(i) Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have a loosely held electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms.

Explanation:

Copper atoms has loosely held electrons in their outer shell. These electrons are not permanently associated with the copper atoms, instead They make a cloud around the outside of these atoms and are able to move freely and quickly through the solid.

Option (ii) cannot be selected because copper is a good conductor. For the conductivity, free movement of electrons is a condition which is unsatisfied in the (iii). In (iv), it is given that copper has 1 electron in the outermost shell which can flow to the other copper atoms which is not true because in copper many atoms can flow to other atoms.

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Explanation:

We first identify the elements of this simple harmonic motion:

The amplitude A is 8.8cm, because it's the maximum distance the mass can go away from the equilibrium point. In meters, it is equivalent to 0.088m.

The angular frequency ω can be calculated with the formula:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle.

Now, since the spring starts stretched at its maximum, the appropriate function to use is the positive cosine in the equation of simple harmonic motion:

$x=A\cos(\omega t)$

Finally, the equation of the motion of the system is:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\omega t)$

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

The best place to look for crabs is between the high tide and low tide zones (the tidal flat). knowing this, would you expect to

disa [49]

The best answer for this question is generally the best period to look for crabs is for the duration of the full moon, this is as a result of most invertebrates being nocturnal and being more effortlessly spotted and being fascinated to light sources.

A self-driving car traveling along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a spe

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$56.5\ \text{s}$

$21.13\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

v = Final velocity

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = Time

s = Displacement

Here the kinematic equations of motion are used

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{25-0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=12.5\ \text{s}$

Time the car is at constant velocity is 39 s

Time the car is decelerating is 5 s

Total time the car is in motion is $12.5+39+5=56.5\ \text{s}$

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{25^2-0}{2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow s=156.25\ \text{m}$

$s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=25\times 39\\\Rightarrow s=975\ \text{m}$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0-25}{5}\\\Rightarrow a=-5\ \text{m/s}^2$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0-25^2}{2\times -5}\\\Rightarrow s=62.5\ \text{m}$

The total displacement of the car is $156.25+975+62.5=1193.75\ \text{m}$

Average velocity is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Total displacement}}{\text{Total time}}=\dfrac{1193.75}{56.5}=21.13\ \text{m/s}$

The average velocity of the car is $21.13\ \text{m/s}$ .

In the photo, a locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station. During the collision, what can be said about the forc

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Whether the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was larger

Than the force the locomotive could exert on the wall.

Explanation:

The Newton's third law of motion States that every force have it's equal and opposite reaction force, whose magnitude is the same as the applied force. Therefore the magnitude of these opposite forces will be equal.

So we have;

F12=-F21

F12 is the force in a direction

-F21 is the force in the opposite direction.

Therefore we see that the magnitude of the force the locomotive exerts on the wall is equal to the one the wall exerts on the locomotive. Both magnitudes are equal but in opposite directions.
