Is it possible that a 60kg boy riding a BMX bike could exert more pressure on a road surface than a 2500kg truck? Explain why.

5. Why are ceramics and plastics good insulators?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Here

Explanation:

They don't have free electrons moving around (delocalised electrons) so they can't conduct heat and electricity which gives them a property of good insulators. The insulators stop us having an electric shock because they don't conduct electricity as we use them to insulate metal wires and other metallic things. can i have brainliest now pls!

During anomalous expansion of water ,heat transfer is limited to conduction and radiation only ,explain.

aalyn [17]

Heat transfer is limited to conduction and radiation only in anomalous expansion of water simply because of the temperature at which the expansion occurs and density

<h3>What is anomalous expansion of water?</h3>

Anomalous expansion of water is a property of water in which water expands instead of contracting.

Anomalous expansion of water makes water less dense.
The major effect of this anomalous expansion it will still remain less dense and at the surface of water.
Interestingly, this expansion occurs when it is cooled from 4°C to 0°C.

The tension of a guitar string is increased by 40%. By what factor odes the fundamental frequency of vibration change? a. 1.13 b

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in string is expressed as;

F1 = 1/2L√T/m .... 1

L is the length of the string

T is the tension

m is the mass per unit length

If the tension is increased by 40%, the new tension will be;

T2 = T + 40%T

T2 = T + 0.4T

T2 = 1.4T

The new fundamental frequency will be;

F2 = 1/2L√1.4T/m ..... 2

Divide 1 by 2;

F2/F = (1/2L√1.4T/m)/1/2L√T/m)+

F2/F = √1.4T/m ÷ √T/m

F2/F = √1.4T/√m ×√m/√T

F2/F = √1.4T/√T

F2/F = 1.18√T/√T

F2/F = 1.18

F2 = 1.18F

Hence the fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of 1.18

It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to Earth when a meteor hit

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

$V_f^2-V_i^2=2as$

Where:

$V_f$ is the final velocity

$V_i$ is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

$V_f=V_{escape}, V_i=0,s=4 m$

So Equation will become:

$V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$
