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).

Only conservative forces perform work on an object over a span of time. During this time, the total mechanical energy of the obj
siniylev [52]

During this time, the total mechanical energy of the object remains constant.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sum total of potential energy and the kinetic energy presented in the system is called mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy in the system, which represents the combined potential and kinetic energies, remains constant as long as the only force work at conservative forces, and mechanical energy is maintained on this principle.

For example, a gravity box in which we throw the ball straights up, and then leave the hand with a specific amounts of kinetic energy. In the first half of the track, there is no kinetic energy, but it has potential energy similar to kinetic energy that it had when that left our hand. When we catch that again, it has the same kinetic energy as when that left our hand. That is why gravity belongs to the category of conservative forces.

Which characteristics belong to Whittaker’s classification system? Select two options.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Five kingdoms & Seven levels

Explanation:

Robert H. Whittaker proposed five kingdom classical system for living organisms in 1969. These were: Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Animalia, and Kingdom Plantae. His work was the improvement of earlier work conducted by Carl Linnaeus who proposed three kingdom classification system (Animalia, Plantae, and Protista).

Whittaker's system further categorized each kingdom to seven levels. These were: Kingdom → Phylum  →  Class  →   Order  →   Family →   Genus  →   Species. This categorization was based on similarities in organisms at different levels.

PS: The scientific name of each organism is the combination of genus and family name.

15) The diagram below represents the sequence of events (steps 1 through 10) resulting in the production of a D' meson and a D*
zubka84 [21]

A statement which describes the changes that occur in this sequence of events is: 2. matter is converted into energy and then energy is converted into matter.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of matter?</h3>

The law of conservation of matter (LOCOM) states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in any chemical reaction.

Similarly, the energy possessed by a matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can only be converted from one energy form to another.

In this context, we can logically deduce that a statement which best describes the changes that occur in this sequence of events is that matter is converted into energy and subsequently, energy is converted into matter.
