An object at rest has an instantaneous acceleration of zero is true.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

As we all know, acceleration is given by a, and formula is F/m, where F is force applied and m is mass of an object. Considering Instaneneous acceleration, it means the force per unit mass body is feeling during infinitesimally small time. Let us say 1 microsecond, acceleration of the body during that span of time is known as instanteneous acceleration. Considering option A, it might not be always true, as consider a vehicle going in straight direction, speed is changing and not direction. Option D is not again true, as consider earth rotating around sun, direction is changing but not speed. However, as explained above, instantaneous acceleration is always constant, and hence, body at rest have instantaneous acceleration zero.

What is the distance a truck can travel if it moves 7 m/s for 20 seconds?
artcher [175]

if it moves 7m/s, that means every second it goes 7m.  Now we just multiply by the time (20 seconds) and end up with 140m.

Hi:) why do metals have free electrons? anyone able to explain the conduction part as well? Thanks!
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Metals have free electrons due to the bonding in metallic substances.

In a metal there are strong attractive forces between the nuclei and the valance electrons.

Positively charged metal nuclei form a lattice (a cube like structure) each metal atom provides one or more valance electrons <u>that are free to move throughout the lattice</u> The electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei but not one individual nuclei, this is called non-directional bonding since it occurs in all directions.

Now all metals are conductive becuase of the free to move (delocalised) electrons. Since the valance electrons are free to move throughout the lattice they are able to carry a charge. (Ionic solids cannot since the ionic solids form a tightly packed lattice with cations and anions which have no free moving electrons, electrons have to be able to move to carry a charge)

When a snowball turns into a puddle of
In-s [12.5K]

When a snowball turns into a puddle of water, we know that (the snow ball gains energy and changes from a solid to liquid).

This is correct due to the fact that particles of the snowball are gaining speed and so it is heating up, when the solid's temperature reaches the melting point, it will become a liquid.

Therefore, D is the correct answer.
