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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

The length of vector A is 93.8 meters and the length of Ay is 38.4 meters, then the length of A, must be

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

85.556metres

Explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

C²=A²+B²

we have c as the hypotenuse vector A thus:

93.8²=A²+38.4²

93.8²-38.4²=A²

8794.44-1474.56=A²

7319.88=A²

A=85.556

Which of the following accurately describes the behavior of water when subject to temperature change? A. The volume of water wil

nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes. But
water does contract in volume during that change.)

A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each

irinina [24]

Answer:

1.24 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

9.25 mm = 0.00925 m

5 mm = 0.005 m

The volume rate that flow through the single pipe is

$\dot{V} = vA = 1.45 * \pi * 0.00925^2 = 0.00039 m^3/s$

This volume rate should be constant and divided into the 4 narrower pipes, each of them would have a volume rate of

$\dot{V_n} = \dot{V} / 4 = 0.00039 / 4 = 9.74\times10^{-5} m^3/s$

So the flow speed of each of the narrower pipe is:

$v_n = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{A_n} = \frac{\dot{V_n}}{\pi r_n^2}$

$v_n = \frac{9.74\times10^{-5}}{\pi 0.005^2} = 1.24 m/s$

A rock is dropped from a height of 3,245 m. If we ignore air resistance, how fast will it be travelling after it falls for 3.4 s

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a free falling object,it has constant acceleration and a changing velocity.

By using the velocity-time formula, the velocity can be obtained.

The height the rock travelled is the distance.

From,

Velocity (v) = Distance (d) / Time(t)

v = 3245m/3.4s

v = <u>954.4m/s</u>

That js the answer I got. Hope it's right.
