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.

According to the ph scale, which substance has the highest hydrogen ion concentration

Damm [24]

Answer:

C) stomach acid

Explanation:

D is wrong due to water have very little to hydrogen ion concentration. tomato juice has acids but it doesn't remove things like stomach acid. oven cleaner does remove some items, but not in a fast fashion like stomach acid. Stomach acid is extremely acidic and will melt about anything that comes in contact. burn is known for doing serious damage if it gets past the stomach lining.

A force of 25 newtons moves a box a distance of 4 meters in 5 seconds.

Simora [160]

By definition, we have that the work done is given by:

$W = F * d$

Where,

F: force in the direction of displacement

d: displaced distance

Substituting values we have:

$W = (25) * (4)\\W = 100 Nm$

Then, the power is given by:

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

Where,

t: time

Substituting values we have:

$P = \frac{100}{5}$

$P = 20\frac{Nm}{s}$

Answer:

The work done on the box is 100 Nm, and the power is 20 Nm/s.

A(n) 0.5 kg soccer ball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 10.6 m/s. The player illegally strikes the ball with he

Llana [10]

Answer: - 25.2 kgm/s

Explanation: The mass of the ball is 0.5kg, and the initial velocity = 10.6m/s.

The final velocity is in opposite direction of the initial hence final velocity (v) = - 19.9 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.

Final momentum = mass × final velocity

Final momentum = - 19.9 × 0.5

Final momentum = - 9.95 kgm/s

Initial momentum = mass × initial velocity

Initial momentum = 0.5 × 10.6 = 5.3kgm/s

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = - 19.9 - 5.3

Change in momentum = - 25.2 kgm/s

The negative sign implies that the change in momentum is the opposite direction relative to the first.

Two carts, A and B, are connected by a spring and sitting at rest on a track. Cart A has a mass of 0.4 kg and Cart B has a mass

Ilya [14]

Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

The given parameters;

<em>Mass of the cart A = 0.4 kg</em>
<em>Mass of the cart B = 0.8 kg</em>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the carts after collision;

$m_Av_0_A\ + m_Bv_0_B = m_Av_f_A \ + m_Bv_f_B\\\\the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ both \ carts = 0\\\\0.4(0) + 0.8(0) = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0 = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0.4v_f_A = -0.8v_f_B\\\\v_f_A= \frac{-0.8 v_f_B}{0.4} \\\\v_f_A = - 2 \ v_f_B \ \ m/s$

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart A is equal to the force exerted on cart B but in opposite direction.

$F_A = -F_B$

Thus, the correct statement that compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts is "Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil."
