Which statement best describes plastics? plastics are poor insulators because the electrons in the atom are tightly bound and un

able to move between other atoms. poor insulators because the electrons are able to move freely between the different energy levels within the atom. good insulators because their atoms have a single loosely bound electron in the outer shell that can move freely between other atoms. good insulators because they have electrons that are tightly bound in their shells which makes them unable to move between other atoms?

Answer:

good insulators because they have electrons that are tightly bound in their shells which makes them unable to move between other atoms

Explanation:

In terms of electrical conduction there are almost no free electrons which does not allow the flow of electricity this makes plastic an electrical insulator.

In terms of heat conduction in plastics due to the lack of a free electrons and the electrons are not able to vibrate. Thermal conduction takes place better if vibrations are transmitted easily.

A 2000 kg car is moving at 15 m/sec when it collides with a 1200 kg car sitting still. Briefly compare the impulse imparted on t
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The 1200 kg car.

Explanation:

The 1200 kg car had bo momentum at the initial stage of the journey because it wasn't on motion. But after collision with the 2000 kg car it gained alot of momentum.

A storm 10.0 km in diameter has wind speeds of 10.0 m/s. What is its angular velocity in radians per second
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The value is w= 2*10^{-3} \  rad/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The diameter of the storm is  d =  10.0 \  km  =  10 000 \  m

   The wind speed is  v  =  10.0 \  m/s

   

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as

       r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>  r =  \frac{10000}{2}

=>    r =  5000 \ m

Generally the angular velocity is mathematically represented as  

        w= \frac{v}{r}

=>     w= \frac{10}{5000}

=>     w= 2*10^{-3} \  rad/s

A 330-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.00 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,110 A. If the conductor is copper
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

t = 402 years

Explanation:

To find the number of year that electrons take in crossing the complete transmission line, you first calculate the drift speed of the electrons. Then, you use the following formula for the current in a wire:

I=nqv_dA  (1)

n: number of mobile charge carrier per volume = 8.50*10^28 e/m^3

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

vd: drift velocity of electron in the metal = ?

A: cross sectional area of the wire = π r^2 = π (0.02m/2)^2 = 3.1415*10^-4 m^2

I: current in the wire = 1110 A

You solve the equation (1) for vd:

v_d=\frac{I}{nqA}=\frac{110A}{(8.50*10^{28}m^{-3})(1.6*10^{-19}C)(3.1415*10^{-4}m^2)}\\\\v_d=2.59*10^{-4}m/s

Next, you calculate the time by using the information about the length of the line transmission:

x=v_dt\\\\x=330km=330000m\\\\t=\frac{x}{v_d}=\frac{330000m}{2.59*10^{-4}m/s}=1,270,184,865s\\\\1,270,184,865s*\frac{1\ year}{3,156,107}=402.45\ years

hence, the electrons will take aproximately 402 years in crossing the line of transmission
