What determines if a material is a conductor or an insulator? Explain your answer and provide at least one example of each.

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.

What is the difference between flashing point, boiling point and melting point​
sp2606 [1]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
  • <u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
  • <u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

Assume that the home construction industry is perfectly competitive and in long-run competitive equilibrium. It follows that: A.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Marginal cost equals long-run average total cost.

Explanation:

The zero profit condition implies that entry continues until all firms are producing at minimum long run average total cost. Since the marginal cost curve cuts the long run average total cost curve at its minimum point, marginal cost and long run average total cost must be equal in long run equilibrium.

A ball has a mass of 0.1 kg and an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The ball is given an acceleration of 30 m/s2 for 5 s. What is the
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

acceleration = v-u /t

30- 20/5

= 10/5 = 2m/sec²

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.1 * 2

Force = 0.2 Newton
