Explanation:

Insulators are materials that do no allow the flow of electric current inside it. The difference between conductors and insulators is that conductors have free electrons while insulators do not have. Plastic is a good insulator.

This is because materials like plastics do not have any loosely bound electrons in their outer shell making it difficult, if not impossible, for electrons to move between atoms.

Hence, the correct option is (2).

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green at t=0, a truck with a constant speed passes the car with a 20m/

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

At $t = (70 / 3) \; {\rm s}$ (approximately $23.3 \; {\rm s}$ .)

Explanation:

Note that the acceleration of the car between $t = 0\; {\rm s}$ and $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ ( $\Delta t = 20\; {\rm s}$ ) is constant. Initial velocity of the car was $v_{0} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , whereas $v_{1} = 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ at $t = 20\; {\rm s}\!$ . Hence, at $t = 20\; {\rm s}\!\!$ , this car would have travelled a distance of:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(v_{1} - v_{0})\, \Delta t}{2} \\ &= \frac{(35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \times (20\; {\rm s})}{2} \\ &= 350\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

At $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ , the truck would have travelled a distance of $x = v\, t = 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \times 20\; {\rm s} = 400\; {\rm m}$ .

In other words, at $t = 20\; {\rm s}$ , the truck was $400\; {\rm m} - 350\; {\rm m} = 50\; {\rm m}$ ahead of the car. The velocity of the car is greater than that of the truck by $35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 15 \; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . It would take another $(50\; {\rm m}) / (15\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) = (10/3)\; {\rm s}$ before the car catches up with the truck.

Hence, the car would catch up with the truck at $t = (20 + (10/3))\; {\rm s} = (70 / 3)\; {\rm s}$ .
