What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor

2 answers:

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.....

A string, stretched between two fixed posts, forms standing-wave resonances at 325 Hz and 390 Hz. What is the largest possible v

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resonant frequencies for a fixed string is given by the formula nv/(2L).

Where n is the multiple .

v is speed in m/s .

The difference between any two resonant frequencies is given by v/(2L)= fn+1 – fn

fundamental frequency means n=1

i.e fn+1 – fn = 390 -325

= 65

Two masses —m1 and m2— are connected by light cables to the perimeters of two cylinders of radii r1 and r2 respectively, as show

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Mass of m2 is given as

$m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg$

Part b)

Angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2$

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

$T = 176.6 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

When m1 and m2 both connected to the cylinder then the system is at rest

so we can use torque balance here

$m_1g r_1 = m_2 g r_2$

$20 g(0.5) = m_2 g(1.5)$

$10 = 1.5 m_2$

$m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg$

Part b)

When block m_2 is removed then system becomes unstable

so force equation of mass m1

$m_1g - T = m_1 a$

also we have

$T r_1 = I\alpha$

now we have

$m_1g = \frac{I a}{r_1^2} + m_1 a$

$a = \frac{m_1g}{\frac{I}{r_1^2} + m_1}$

$a = \frac{20 (9.81)}{\frac{45}{0.5^2} + 20}$

$a = 0.981 m/s^2$

so angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{a}{r_1}$

$\alpha = \frac{0.981}{0.5}$

$\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2$

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

$T = \frac{I\alpha}{r_1}$

$T = \frac{45 (1.96)}{0.5}$

$T = 176.6 N$

In a closed energy system, energy is?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A closed system can exchange energy but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter.

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.

melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass * velocity$
