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 ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are hight and initial velocity

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the ball strike the ground, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of

Pavel [41]

<h2>Answer: higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </h2>

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the set of destructive processes through which rocky materials go trhough. These processes cause changes in the color, texture, composition, firmness and shape of the material.

It should be noted that this happens when the rocks come into contact with atmospheric agents such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Another important aspect is that rocks are able to break up more easily thanks to this type of weathering, since the mineral grains within the rock lose adherence and dissolve better under the action of some physical agents, such as humidity (rainfall included) and temperature.

Therefore:

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures.

How much electrical energy is used by a 75 W laptop that is operating for 12 minutes?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

"1 watt" means 1 joule of energy per second.

75 W means 75 joules/sec .

Energy = (75 Joule/sec) x (12 min) x (60 sec/min)

Energy = (75 x 12 x 60) (Joule-min-sec / sec-min)

Energy = 54,000 Joules

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:This is an explanation

for 150 km its all ik i tried hard ty

Explanation:The car covers 150 km in 3 hours or 3*60 = 180 minutes.
