A conducting material conducts or allows electricity to flow, while an insulator does not allow electricity to flow. For example think of a water pipe, if the pipe has a hole water can flow, on the other hand if it is just a solid rod, no water can flow through. I hope this helps.

Prove that young modulus of elasticity and pressure have the same dimensions​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The dimensions of Young's Modulus, as well as material stress, are the same as pressure because stress is like pressure in a solid, except with some key differences that warrant the use of different terminology.

Rita has two small containers, one holding a liquid and one holding a gas. Rita transfers the substances to two larger container
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Sample Response: liquids flow freely, they take the shape of the container they are in, but have a definite volume. Like liquids, the shape of a gas changes with the container. This is because the atoms in a gas move rapidly and freely to fill any available space. Unlike liquids, the volume of a gas changes depending on the container it is in.

The height of a cone is increasing at a rate of 10 cm/sec and its radius is decreasing so that its volume remains constant. How
ki77a [65]

Answer:

dr/dt = -2 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h (1)

  • r is the radius
  • h is the height

Let's take the derivative with respect to time in each side of (1).

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^{2}h)=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h+r^{2}\frac{dh}{dt} \right) (2)

We know that:

  • dh/dt = 10 cm / s (rate increasing of height)
  • dV/dt = 0 (constant volume means no variation with respect of time)
  • r = 4 cm
  • h = 10 cm

We can calculate how fast is the radius changing using the above information.

0=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left( 2\cdot 4\cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \cdot 10 + 4^{2}\cdot 10)\right  

Therefore dr/dt will be:

\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{160}{80}=-2 cm/s

The minus signs means that r is decreasing.

I hope it helps you!

A 4500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 190 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

Total energy of a satellite in an orbit , h height away

= -  GMm /2 ( R + h )

When h = 380 km

Total energy of a satellite = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+380)\times10^3}

=  - 13.25 x 10¹⁰ J

When h = 190 km

Total energy of a satellite =

\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+190)\times10^3}

=   - 13.63 x 10¹⁰ J

Diff

= 38 x 10⁸ J Energy will be required.
