1: copper is a good conductor

most metals tend to be good conductors because it is easy for electron currents to flow through them

Which energy transfer occurs when a cube of ice is placed in a glass of<br> water?
Daniel [21]
Acetic acid is a weak acid and sodium hydroxide is strong base. Salts of the two will hydrolyse to give basic solution. So, at neutral point, pH of the solution will be greater than 8.

Where is the fulcrum of a broom?
algol [13]

It's one of your hands.  Which one it is depends on how you sweep.

-- If you hold the top of the stick motionless and wave your bottom hand
back and forth, then your top hand is the fulcrum, and you're using the
broom as a Class-3 lever.

-- If you hold your bottom hand motionless and wiggle the top end of the
broom back and forth with your top hand, then your lower hand is the fulcrum,
and you're using the broom as a Class-1 lever.

9. A Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table. How long does it take to hit the floor if no one sneezes? Wh
Paha777 [63]

By Considering the vertical distance and both vertical and horizontal final velocity, the time t = 0.45 s and Velocity V = 6.7 m/s

Given that a Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table.

Height h = 1.0 m

As the ball rolls off the table, it will be fallen under gravity. Where

g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Initial vertical velocity u_{y} = 0

Initial horizontal velocity u_{x} = 5 m/s

Considering the vertical distance, the formula to use to calculate the time will be;

h = ut + 1/2gt^{2}

1 = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8t^{2}

1 = 4.9t^{2}

t^{2} = 1/4.9

t = \sqrt{0.204}

t = 0.45 seconds

It takes 0.45 seconds to hit the floor if no one sneezes.

To calculate its velocity when it hits the floor, we will need to calculate for both vertical and horizontal final velocity and find the resultant velocity of the two.

Vertical component

V_{y} = U_{y} + gt

V_{y} = 0 + 9.8(0.45)

V_{y} = 4.41 m/s

Horizontal component

V_{x} = u_{x} + at

but a = 0

V_{x} = 5 m/s

Final velocity V = \sqrt{5^{2} + 4.41^{2}  }

V = 6.67 m/s

Therefore, it will hit the floor at a velocity of 6.7 m/s

A 0.49 m copper rod with a mass of 0.15 kg carries a current of 13 A in the positive y direction. Let upward be the positive dir
Helen [10]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.23 T          

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the copper rod, L = 0.49 m

Mass of the copper rod, m = 0.15 kg

Current in rod, I = 13 A (in +ve y direction)

When the rod is placed in magnetic field, the magnetic force is balanced by its weight such that :

BIL=mg\\\\B=\dfrac{mg}{IL}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.15\times 9.8}{13\times 0.49}\\\\B=0.23\ T

So, the magnitude of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod is 0.23 T.
