6 0

You don't say what the insulators are insulating from ... heat or electricity.
Here are some of each:

Heat insulators:
--  Air  (between the inner and outer bottles of a thermos bottle)
--  Wood  (around the handle of a frying pan)
--  Cloth  (an oven mitt)

Electrical insulators:
-- rubber
-- plastic
-- wood
-- cloth
-- air

a radio controlled car rolls 10 m south then reverses direction and rolls 8 m north the car traveled a distance of 18 m and has
EastWind [94]

The displacement is 2 m south

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are two different quantities:

  • Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. It is a scalar quantity
  • Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion of an object. The magnitude of the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the two points

For the car in this problem, the motion is:

10 m south

8 m north

Taking north as positive direction, we can describe the two parts of the motion as

d_1 = -10 m

d_2 = +8 m

Therefore,  the final position of the car with respect to the original position is

x_f = -10 + 8 = -2 m

which means 2 m south: so, the displacement of the car is 2 m south.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Write down four reasons why plastic is put around electrical wires? <br><br> Plz help me
postnew [5]

Answer:

1)  is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity

2) to prevent getting shocked

3) Plastic helps dissipate the heat as well as prevent the wire from getting too hot and causing fire.

4) Without plastic, hot and neutral wires cannot be run in the same conductor or same wire

Explanation:

hope this helped and plz mark me as brainliest
