Answer:

D. Electrons are tightly bound to the nuclei.

Explanation:

In an insulator, the electrons of the outer most shell are bound with a very high electrostatic forces coming from the nucleus of each atom so electrons cannot flow around all atoms making up the material as in a conductor.

3. Electrons are the only part of an atom that can be transferred between materials. True or

meriva

False

Explanation:

The electrons cloud patterns are extremely complex and is of no importance to the discussion of electric charge in the atom. More important is the fact that electrons are labile; that is, they can be transferred from one atom to the next. It is through electronic transfer that atoms become charged.

Answer:

The diameter of the needle is 4.675 cm.

Explanation:

Given:

Volume flow rate is, $\dot V=103\ cm^3$

Velocity of air expelled by pump is, $v=6\ cm/s$

Let the area of the needle be 'A' cm² and the diameter be 'd' cm.

We know that, volume flow rate of the air expelled by pump is given as the product of the needle's area and velocity of air flowing through that area.

Therefore, volume flow rate is given as:

$\dot V=A\times v\\\\103=A\times 6\\\\6A=103\\\\A=\frac{103}{6}\ cm^2$

Now, considering the needle to be circular, area of the needle can be written as:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}\times d^2\\\\\frac{103}{6}=\frac{\pi}{4}\times d^2\\\\d^2=\frac{103\times 4}{6\pi}\\\\d=\sqrt{\frac{103\times 4}{6\pi}}\\\\d=4.675\ cm$
