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.

What does an electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not ?

Anon25 [30]

The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.

block with of mass m is at rest on horizontal frictionless surface at time t=0. A force given by F=Bt+C is applied horizontally

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

$v_{2} =\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

From the second law of Newton movement laws, we have:

$F=m*a$ , and we know that a is the acceleration, which definition is:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}$ , so:

$F=m*\frac{dv}{dt}\\\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}(t+1)}{4}=\frac{t+1}{8}$

The next step is separate variables and integrate (the limits are at this way because at t=0 the block was at rest (v=0):

$dv=\frac{1}{8}(t+1)dt\\\int\limits^{v_{2}}_0 \, dv=\int\limits^{2}_{0} {\frac{1}{8}(t+1)} \, dt$

$v_{2}=\frac{1}{8}*(\frac{t^{2}}{2}+t)$ (This is the indefinite integral), the definite one is:

$v_{2}=\frac{1}{8}*(2+2)=\frac{1}{2}$

Which planet weighs twice as much as all other planets.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Jupiter. Although it is a gas planet, it has a ton of mass. Mass can determine the weight of an object. We can thereby assume that Jupiter weighs way more than most planets.

A long uniform board weighs 52.8 N (10.6 lbs) rests on a support at its mid point. Two children weighing 206.0 N (41.2 lbs) and

natima [27]

The upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.

<h3>Upward force exerted on the board by the support</h3>

The sum of the upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces;

total downward forces = 52.8 N + 206 N + 272 N = 530.8 N

downward force = upward force = 530.8 N

Thus, the upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.
