Answer:

Explanation:

False

Electric conductivity in metals is the result of the motion of charged particles called electrons. Atoms of metallic elements are distinguished by the availability of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom and free to move around.

These free electrons are free to move in the lattice of metal and result in electric current when a voltage is applied.

A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?

VLD [36.1K]

The initial kinetic energy of the car is
$E_1 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = 1.9 \cdot 10^3 J$

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: $v_2 = \frac{v_1}{2}$
so, the new kinetic energy is
$E_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 = \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}$
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
$E_2 = \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J$

A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 50 kPa at 27°C. What will the pressure of the gas be if the temperature rises to 8

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.

Explanation:

Given;

initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 50 kPa = 50,000 Pa

initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 27⁰ C = 27 + 273 = 300 k

final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 87⁰ C = 87 + 273 = 360 K

Let the final pressure of the gas = P₂

Apply pressure law;

$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \\\\P_2 = \frac{P_1T_2}{T_1} = \frac{50,000 \times 360}{300} = 60,000 \ Pa = 60 \ kPa$

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.

Why do we need to learn about median and mode?

siniylev [52]

We need to learn about median and mode because they are both important in statistical data and statistical data is what shows us important information about the world around us.
