Which statement about metals is true?

1 answer:

4 0

All metals are solid at (our) living temperatures except for mercury which is a liquid. Metals are shiny for a while at least when properly finished. Metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity. This is due to the excess electrons in their valence clouds that facilitate energy transfer.What are 5 characteristics of metal?

Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity

Silver conducts electricity better than any other metal.

Brass is an alloy made from zinc and copper.

Pure gold is too soft for many things so most gold is combined with other metals to make it stronger. ...

World time periods are often listed by the metal used.

Answer:

2 m/s^2

Explanation:

a = v^2/r

a = (10m/s)^2 / 50m

a = 2 m/s^2

The electric potential at the origin of an xy-coordinate system is 40 V. A -8.0-μC charge is brought from x = +∞ to that point.

vredina [299]

Answer:

-320 μJ.

Explanation:

Consider a point with an electrical charge of $q$ . Assume that $V$ is the electrical potential at the position of that charge. The electrical potential of that point charge will be equal to:

$\text{Potential Energy} = q \cdot V$ .

Keep in mind that since both $q$ and $V$ might not be positive, the size of the electrical potential energy might not be positive, either.

For this point charge,

$q = \rm -8.0\; \mu C$ ; (that's -8.0 microjoules, which equals to $\rm -8.0\times 10^{-6}\; J$ )
$V = \rm 40\; V$ .

Hence its electrical potential energy:

$\text{Potential Energy} = q\cdot V = \rm (-8.0\; \mu C) \times 40\; V = -320\; \mu J$ .

Why is this value negative? The electrical potential energy of a charge is equal to the work needed to bring that charge from infinitely far away all the way to its current position. Also, negative charges are attracted towards regions of high electrical potential. Bringing this $\rm -8.0\; \mu C$ negative charge to the origin will not require any external work. Instead, this process will release 320 μJ of energy. As a result, the electrical potential energy is a negative value.

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$
