Copper is a metal commonly used for electrical wiring in houses. Which metal conducts electricity better than copper at 20°C?

jek_recluse [69]

The correct answer is silver metal.
Conductivity measures the ability of a material or a metal to transmit energy, conductivity may be electrical, thermal or acoustical conductivity. The most electrical conductive element is silver, followed by copper and Gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity as compare to any element. However, copper and Gold are more often used in electrical applications since copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.

ATP molecules store cellular energy. When phosphate groups are removed and molecules of ADP are formed, energy is released. This

slava [35]

<span>Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phophate groups in a row. In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP. This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work. Now its back to being ADP and is ready to store the energy from respiration by bonding with a 3rd phosphate group. ADP and ATP constantly convert back and forth in this manner.

A car and a lorry are about to collide. When they collide the two vehicles become tightly locked together. The lorry is going at

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The speed of the vehicles immediately after the collision is 5.84 m/s.

Explanation:

The speed of the vehicles after the collision can be found by conservation of linear momentum:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}} = m_{1}v_{1_{f}} + m_{2}v_{2_{f}}$

Where:

m₁: is the mass of the car = 0.5 ton = 500 kg

m₂: is the mass of the lorry = 9.5 ton = 9500 kg

$v_{1_{i}}$ : is the initial speed of the car = 40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

$v_{2_{i}}$ : is the initial speed of the lorry = 20 km/h = 5.56 m/s

$v_{1_{f}}$ : is the final speed of the car =?

$v_{2_{f}}$ : is the final speed of the lorry =?

Since the two vehicles become tightly locked together after the collision $v_{1_{f}}$ = $v_{2_{f}}$ :

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}} = v(m_{1} + m_{2})$

$v = \frac{m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \frac{500 kg*11.11 m/s + 9500 kg*5.56 m/s}{500 kg + 9500 kg} = 5.84 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the vehicles immediately after the collision is 5.84 m/s.

I hope it helps you!
