Answer:

Electrons in different metals

Explanation:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

What are conductors and insulators? Give at least five example of each

Leona [35]

Answer: conductors are substances that allow heat or electricity to pass through . It deals with only the flow of electrons.

Eg. water, copper wire, iron rod, some ceramic materials, metallic nail.

Insulators are materials that do not allow heat or electricity to pass through.

Eg. Book, plastic, rubber, glass, paper

an electrically charged particle with mass m, velocity v, and charge q moves in a circle in magnetic field b. what is the formul

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$r=\frac {mv}{qb}$

Explanation:

In this case, since the charged particle moves in circular motion, the centripetal force is equivalent to the magnetic force.

$\frac {mv^{2}}{r}=qvb\\\frac {mv}{r}=qb\\r=\frac {mv}{qb}$

Does the same battery always deliver the same amount of flow to any circuit? Mention two observations of any circuits in this la

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.

A secret agent is locked in a room. He pushes against the door but cannot open it. Finally, he falls to the floor exhausted. Has

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: There is not work done at the door because the door did not move.

Explanation: Work is defined as the movement done by a force.

So if you move to apply a force F in an object and you move it a distance D, the work applied on the object is

W = F*D

In this case, the secret agent pushes against the door, so there is a force, but the agent does not move the door, so D = 0, so there is no motion of the door, which implies that there is no work done at the door.

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas

SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity
