Why is mineral copper often used to make electrical wires

Answers

Answer 1
copper is safer to use than wires made of most other conductive metals because they are resistant to heat. :)
Answer 2

Because copper is the second-best electrical conductor, it's cheaper and more plentiful than silver, and it's relatively easy to get it out of the ground, refine it, and form it into wires.

(If the electrical wiring in your house was all silver wire, I guess nothing would ever work, because people would keep stealing your wiring.)

Your teacher gives you samples of the following elements. Which sample is shiny but does not conduct heat and electricity well? (DOK 2)

A.
fluorine (F)

B.
silver (Ag)

C.
germanium (Ge)

D.
neon (Ne)

Answers

A. Fluorine
it does not conduct electricity and heat

Fluorine is the sample which is shiny but does not conduct heat and electricity through it. The flow of electricity requires the flow of electrons or charged particles. Thus, the correct option is A.

What are conductors?

A conductor is a substance, chemical element, or a material which allows electricity and heat to flow through it. In a conductor, the electrical charge carriers which are usually electrons or positive and negative ions, move easily from one atom to another atom when a particular amount of voltage is applied.

Fluorine is a shiny element however it does not conduct heat and electricity through it. It is the most electronegative atom and is very reactive in nature. It only gains electrons and does not lose them. And because of this property of fluorine, it restricts the movement of electrons through it and fails to conduct electricity.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Electric Field Hockey

In this activity, you will again explore the relationship between an electric field and charged particles in the field, but this time you’ll have a gaming challenge. To begin, open Electric Field Hockey.

Directions:

On the control bar, make sure that the Puck is Positive and the Field boxes are checked. Also, make sure that the Practice option is selected.

Your aim is to score goals by manipulating the black puck (test charge) into the blue-colored bracket (goal) on the right. Think smart and place positive source charges (red) and negative source charges (blue) in such a way that the black puck moves into the goal.

Note that when you place a red, positive source charge in the hockey field, a red arrow appears on the black puck (test charge) showing the force the positive charge exerts on the puck. Similarly, when you place a blue, negative source charge in the hockey field, a blue arrow appears on the black puck (test charge) showing the force the negative charge exerts on the puck.

Question 1
Part A
Place a red charge on the hockey field and click Play. In which direction do electric field lines point? In which direction does the black puck move? What conclusion do you draw from this movement?

Part B
Click Reset and then click Clear. Now, place a blue charge in the hockey field and click Play. In which direction do electric field lines point? In which direction does the black puck move? What conclusion do you draw from this movement?

Part C
Manipulate the mass of the puck by dragging the mass bar to the right to increase the mass and to the left to decrease it. What changes do you see in the speed of the puck? Which principle works behind this change?

Part D
In the same situation, what do you observe about the relationship between the speed of the black puck and its distance from the blue charge?

Question 2
You can make the puck travel in complex ways by placing a set of charges around on the field. So, here’s your game challenge: Arrange sources charge around to propel the puck from its starting position into the goal. That’s pretty easy for a straight shot; you just put a negative charge behind the goal. But what if there are barriers along the way? This is a real test of your physical understanding, including Newton’s laws of motion and electrostatic forces. Game’s on!

Part A
On the control bar, check the Trace and Field boxes. The game has three Difficulty levels. Start with Difficulty level one and arrange source charges to get the puck into the goal. Once you’ve made a score at any level, increase the Difficulty level. Take a screen capture of two of your most difficult goals and paste them here. At least one of these should be at Difficulty level 2 or 3.

Answers

Answer:

The positive charges point away from each other

Explanation:

Why?

Arrows point away from the positive charge and toward the

negative charge.

Explanation:

Suppose that you rubbed a balloon with a sample of animal fur such as a wool sweater or even your own hair. The balloon would likely become charged and its charge would exert a strange influence upon other objects in its vicinity. If some small bits of paper were placed upon a table and the balloon were brought near and held above the paper bits, then the presence of the charged balloon might create a sufficient attraction for the paper bits to raise them off the table. This influence - known as an electric force - occurs even when the charged balloon is held some distance away from the paper bits. The electric force is a non-contact force. Any charged object can exert this force upon other objects - both charged and uncharged objects. One goal of this unit of The Physics Classroom is to understand the nature of the electric force. In this part of Lesson 1, two simple and fundamental statements will be made and explained about the nature of the electric force.

Perhaps you have heard it said so many times that it sounds like a cliché.

Opposites attract. And likes repel.

These two fundamental principles of charge interactions will be used throughout the unit to explain the vast array of static electricity phenomena. As mentioned in the previous section of Lesson 1, there are two types of electrically charged objects - those that contain more protons than electrons and are said to be positively charged and those that contain less protons than electrons and are said to be negatively charged. These two types of electrical charges - positive and negative - are said to be opposite types of charge. And consistent with our fundamental principle of charge interaction, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object. Oppositely charged objects will exert an attractive influence upon each other. In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart. Similarly, a negatively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second negatively charged object. Objects with like charge repel each other.

b) Velocity squared v2.
c) Velocity.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]m = \frac{2\cdot E_{k}}{v^{2}}[/tex], b) [tex]v^{2} = \frac{2\cdot E_{k}}{m}[/tex], c) [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot E_{k}}{m } }[/tex]

Explanation:

a) Translational kinetic energy ([tex]E_{k}[/tex]), measured in joules, is represented by the following expression:

[tex]E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, measured in kilograms.

[tex]v[/tex] - Velocity, measured in meters per second.

Now we clear the mass within the formula:

[tex]E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^{2}[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot E_{k} = m\cdot v^{2}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2\cdot E_{k}}{v^{2}}[/tex]

b) Now we clear the velocity squared:

[tex]v^{2} = \frac{2\cdot E_{k}}{m}[/tex]

c) Now we clear the velocity:

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot E_{k}}{m } }[/tex]

A wave in which the particles of the medium move up and down as the wave passes through is a transverse wave or a
a longitudinal wave

Answers

Answer:

transverse waves

Explanation:

this is because the definition of transverse waves is transverse waves are waves that travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion

however the definition of longitudinal waves is that longitudinal waves are waves that travel parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

so you can see the parallel means it forms compressions and rarefactions

but perpendicular means the particles will move up and down to the straight horizontal line, that's how lines are perpendicular right? ,

so the answer is transverse wave

A bicyclist steadily speeds up from rest to 11.0m/s during a 5.50s time interval. Determine all unknowns and answer the following questions. What is the magnitude of the bicyclist's acceleration? How far did the bicyclist travel during this time?

Answers

Explanation:

acceleration is 2 m/s^2

v-u/t

distance travelled is 30.25 meter

(v^2-u^2)/2a

11*11/2*2

121/4

30.25 m

The acceleration of the bicyclist is 2 m/s² and the total distance covered is 30.25 meters.

We have a bicyclist.

We have to calculate the acceleration and the total distance travelled by the bicyclist.

State the three equations of motion.

The three equations of motion are -

v = u + at

S = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] a[tex]t^{2}[/tex]

v² - u² = 2aS

According to the question -

u = 0 m/s

v = 11 m/s

t = 5.5 s

Therefore -

For acceleration -

v = u + at

On solving -

11 = 0 + 5.5 a

5.5a = 11

a = 11 / 5.5 = 2 m/s²

For total distance covered -

S = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] a[tex]t^{2}[/tex]

On solving -

S = 0 + 0.5 x 2 x 5.5 x 5.5 = 30.25 meters.

Hence, the acceleration of the bicyclist is 2 m/s² and the total distance covered is 30.25 meters.
