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.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l =  4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s

Let \omega is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.
