What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor

Physics

It’s because conductors have nearly zero resistance to the flow of electrons that go through them. This leaves the electrons free to move and current can travel with full strength.

Copper is a metal. ... The electrons can move freely through the metal. For this reason, they are known as free electrons. They are also known as conduction electrons, because they help copper to be a good conductor of heat and electricity.....

Which is correct about an ammeter?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

b. The internal resistance must be much smaller than the other resistances in the circuit.

Explanation:

Ammeter is used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. It is connected in series configuration with the load. In such a scenario the resistance of the ammeter should be negligible so as to make sure that the voltage drop across the resistance of ammeter is zero and it shows the correct reading of the current in the circuit.

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40  mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: 1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at \frac{2}{7}, this means that \frac{5}{7} of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if \frac{5}{7} of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it (speed=\frac{distance}{time}), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}

time= 8 h

<u><em> The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.</em></u>

The six statements below represent Newton's three laws of motion and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Match each stateme
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton

2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out  equal areas in equal times - Kepler

3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton .

4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton

5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus  - Kepler.

6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.

Explanation:

The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

  1. The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
  3. The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.

The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:

  1. The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
  2. The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
  3. The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.

A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be airconditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

About  2 units.

Explanation:

We assume that there is no heat dissipating instrument in the room

Total cooling load of the room is defined from the given below equation

Q_{cooling}=Q_{light}+Q_{people}+Q_{heat gain}

where

Q_{light}= 10*100 W =1 KW

Q_{people} = 40*360 KJ/h= 4 KW

Q_{heat gain}=15000KJ/h= 4.17 KW

Q_{cooling}= 1+4+4.17=9.17 KW

the number of air conditioner unit is =\frac{9.17}{5}=1.83

 which is approximately 2 units
