Explain the difference between a conductor and an insulator. Give two examples of each.

1 answer:

3 0

There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors). A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity. Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

Two identical twins hold on to a rope, one at each end, on a smooth, frictionless ice surface. They skate in a circle about the

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s$

Part b)

$v' = 8.60 m/s$

Part c)

$W = 4326.7 J$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two twins

so here we will use

$L = mv r + mvr$

$L = 2(78 \times 4.30 \times 4)$

$L = 2683.2 kg m^2/s$

Part b)

Since angular momentum is conserved here as there is no external torque

so we will have

$2(m v r) = 2( m v' \frac{r}{2})$

$v' = 2v$

$v' = 8.60 m/s$

Part c)

Work done by both of them = change in kinetic energy

so we have

$W = 2(\frac{1}{2}mv'^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2)$

$W = m(v'^2 - v^2)$

$W = 78(8.60^2 - 4.3^2)$

$W = 4326.7 J$

The position of a circuit breaker (CB) are .............

AlexFokin [52]

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

Railroad car A, with mass 6275 kg, is traveling east at 6.5 m/s along a straight track. It strikes railroad car B, with mass 515

LekaFEV [45]

The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of A is 6275kg

Speed of A is 6.5m/s

Mass of B is 5155kg

Speed of B is 3.8m/s

Track is frictionless.

A and B stick together.

speed of attached A and B = ?

mₐsₐ + mᵇsᵇ = (mₐ + mb) s

$6275 X 6.5 + 5155 X 3.8 = ( 6275 + 5155) X s\\\\s = \frac{40787.5 + 19589}{11430}\\ \\s = \frac{60376.5}{11430}\\ \\s = 5.28m/s$

Therefore, The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

Which of the following about Dalton's theory of matter is true?

Lemur [1.5K]

D.Atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe allmatter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that allmatter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.
