Answer:

Explanation:

False

Electric conductivity in metals is the result of the motion of charged particles called electrons. Atoms of metallic elements are distinguished by the availability of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom and free to move around.

These free electrons are free to move in the lattice of metal and result in electric current when a voltage is applied.

A 0.500-kg mass suspended from a spring oscillates with a period of 1.36 s. How much mass must be added to the object to change

lord [1]

The mass that must be added is 0.628 kg

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant

For the initial mass-spring system in the problem, we have

m = 0.500 kg

T = 1.36 s

Solving for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 m = (\frac{2\pi}{1.36})^2 (0.500)=10.7 N/m$

In the second part, we want the period of the same system to be

T = 2.04 s

Therefore, the mass on the spring in this case must be

$m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2 k =(\frac{2.04}{2\pi})^2 (10.7)=1.128 kg$

Therefore, the mass that must be added is

$\Delta m = 1.128 - 0.500 = 0.628 kg$

What two pieces of information are crucial to understanding newton's second law?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The second Newton's law of motion states that the rate of change in momentum of a moving body is proportional to the resultant force.
Therefore, to understand this law one must understand the concept of momentum and that a body in motion experiences force.
As far as momentum is concerned it is important to note that as a body moves the momentum changes with change in time and also that a body at rest has 0 momentum because its speed/velocity is zero.
It is this change in momentum with time that is proportional to the resultant force experienced by the body.
