Metals are good conductors of electricity because their protons can roam freely throughout the material. True False

Physics
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Note: The rope is 20 m long. Answer like this: (1.<br> 2._____ etc)
qaws [65]

Answer:

1. <u>Potential energy</u>, 2. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 3. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 4. <u>Potential and kinetic energy</u>, 5. <u>Potential energy</u>

Explanation:

We note that the total mechanical energy (M.E.) of the body is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

Where;

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the body = (1/2)·m·v²

P.E. = The potential energy of the body = m·g·h

m = The mass of the person

v = The velocity with which the person is in motion

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the person above the ground

The length of the rope = 20 m

The initial height at location 1, h₁ = 40.0 m

At location 1, the velocity, v₁ = 0.00 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₁ + P.E.₁

∴  K.E.₁ = 0 and P.E.₁ = m ×9.81×40

M.E. = (1/2) ×m ×0² + m ×9.81×40

∴ M.E. = 0 + P.E.₁ the type of energy present at location 1 is only potential energy

At location 2, the velocity, v₂ = 10.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₂ + P.E.₂ = (1/2) ×m ×10² + m ×9.81×40

∴  K.E.₂ = 50·m and P.E.₂ = m ×9.81×35 = 343.35·m

M.E. = 50·m + 343.35·m the type of energy at location 2 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 3, the velocity, v₃ = 20.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₃ + P.E.₃ = (1/2) ×m ×20² + m ×9.81×20

∴  K.E.₃ = 200·m and P.E.₃ = m ×9.81×20 = 196.2·m

M.E. = 200·m + 196.2·m the type of energy at location 3 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 4, the velocity, v₄² = 350.0 m²/s², h₄ = 15.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₄ + P.E.₄ = (1/2) × m ×350 + m ×9.81×15

∴  K.E.₄ = 175·m and P.E.₄ = m×9.81×15 = 147.15·m

M.E. = 175·m + 147.15·m the type of energy at location 4 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 5, the velocity, v₅ = 0 m/s, h₅ = 10.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₅ + P.E.₅ = (1/2) × m × 0 + m ×9.81×10

∴  K.E.₅ = 0·m and P.E.₅ = m×98.1 = 98.1·m

M.E. = 0·m + 98.1·m the type of energy at location 5 is only potential energy, P.E.

Therefore, we have;

\left|\begin{array}{ccc}Location&&Type(s) \ of \ Energy \ Presents\\1&&Potential \ Energy\\2&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\3&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\4&&Potential  \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\5&&Potential  \  Energy\end{array} \right |

How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?
Alik [6]
<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>

When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?
Llana [10]
If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
r'= \frac{r}{2}
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F
so, the force increases by a factor 4.
