Why do metals conduct electricity while nonmetals do not conduct electricity?

1 answer:

upper one :

Each metal atom contributes one or more electrons . Note:-free and mobile electrons are responsible for high thermal and electrical conductivity of metals. metals contain lot of free electrons while nonmetals don't have it. metals conduct electricity due to the presence of free electrons which are absent in non-metals.

down one :

metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity, whereas nonmetals generally cannot conduct heat or electricity. ... Metalloids tend to be shiny like metals but brittle like nonmetals. Because they are brittle, they may chip like glass or crumble to a powder if struck.

A golfer is on the edge of a 12.5 m bluff overlooking the 18th hole which is located 60 m from the base of the bluff. She launch

Answer:

The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:

$x=V_{o}cos \theta t$ ----------------------(1)

$y=y_{o}+V_{o} sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ ---------(2)

$V=V_{o}-gt$ ----------------------- (3)

Where:

x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball

$V_{o}$ is the golf ball's initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ is the angle (it was a horizontal shot)

t is the time

y is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}$ is the initial height of the ball

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the final velocity of the ball

Step 1: finding t

Let use the equation(2)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (12.5 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$

$t=1.597$ s

Substituting (6) in (1):

$67.1 =V_{o} cos(0\°) 1.597$ -------------------(4)

Step 2: Finding $V_{o}$ :

From equation(4)

$67.1 =V_{o}(1) 1.597$

$V_0 = \frac{6.71}{1.597}$

$V_{o}=42.01$ m/s (8)

Substituting $V_{o}$ in (3):

$V=42.01 -(9.8)(1.597)$

v =42 .01 - 15.3566

V=26.359 m/s
