Conductors are substances that pass an electrical charge.

Semiconductors are substances whose electrical conductivity is lower than that of metals and greater than that of dielectrics.

Electricity nonconductors or insulators - in the terminology of Faraday - dielectrics (see). N. perfect does not exist; they represent only a large resistance to galvanic current and then different bodies in varying degrees (see Galvanic current), so that between poor and good conductors there are many bodies of average conductivity. N. The galvanic current is also the best insulators of static electricity. N. Heat or its bad conductors are at the same time electrical insulators (see Thermal Conductivity).

A dielectric (insulator) is a substance that is poorly conducting or not conducting at all. The concentration of free charge carriers in a dielectric does not exceed 108 cm-3. The main property of the dielectric is the ability to polarize in an external electric field. From the point of view of the band theory of a solid body, a dielectric is a substance with a band gap greater than 3 eV.

This is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point.
dusya [7]

Answer: MOTION

Explanation:

motion is defined as the displacement of an object with respect to time relative to a stationary object (reference point). A good example of an object that can serve as a reference point includes: a tree or a building. The movement of a body at constant speed towards a particular direction at regular intervals of time can be determined and it's called uniform motion.

There are different types of motion, these includes: simple harmonic motion,

linear motion,

circular motion,

Brownian motion,

Rotatory motion

Consider a standing wave on a string. What is the distance between two adjacent nodes in terms of the wavelength λ of the standi
amid [387]

The distance between the two adjacent nodes = λ/2.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>

A periodic wave's wavelength is its spatial period, or the length over which its form repeats. It is a property of both travelling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda (λ) is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The distance between the two adjacent nodes = λ/2.

for the standing wave ,the distance between any two adjacent nodes or antinodes is 1/2 λ.

A runner achieves a velocity of 11.1 m/s, 9 sec after he begins. What is his
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1.23 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 11.1 m/s

t = 9 s

Find: a

Equation:

v = at + v₀

Plug in:

11.1 m/s = a (9 s) + 0 m/s

a = 1.23 m/s²

The runner's acceleration is 1.23 m/s².

Heyyyy help ! <br><br> What’s the electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength between 1mm and 30cm
LenaWriter [7]

You've got some UHF radio waves at the long end of that range.  But most of the range consists of <em>microwaves</em>.

For example:  In the US, the "microwave oven" kitchen appliance cooks with radiation at a wavelength of about 12.2 cm .
