Answer:

has free electrons

Explanation:

A conductor has free electrons while an insulator does not. Free electrons are electrons which are not bounded tightly to their parent atoms, and are free to move given the right conditions (ie. a strong EM field).

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations

il63 [147K]

Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

It would take almost 2 years for the fastest human-made spacecraft to travel from earth to europa. about how long would it take

worty [1.4K]

First, we need the distance of Europe and Wolf-359 from Earth.
- The distance of Europe from Earth is: $d_E = 6.28 \cdot 10^8 km$
- The distance of Wolf-359 from Earth is instead 7.795 light years. However, we need to convert this number into km. 1 light year is the distance covered by the light in 1 year. Keeping in mind that the speed of light is $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ , and that in 1 year there are
365 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = $3.154 \cdot 10^7 s/y$ , the distance between Wolf-359 and Earth is
$d_W = 7.995 ly\cdot3\cdot 10^8 m/s \cdot 3.154 \cdot 10^7 s=7.38 \cdot 10^{16}m=7.38 \cdot 10^{13}km$

Now we can calculate the time the spaceship needs to go to Wolf-359, by writing a simple proportion. In fact, we know that the spaceship takes 2 years to cover $d_E$ , so
$2 y:d_E = x:d_W$
from which we find $x$ , the time needed to reach Wolf-359:
$x= \frac{2 y\cdot d_W}{d_E}=2.35 \cdot 10^5 years$
