Which physical property explains the difference in ability of copper and rubber to transmit electricity?

Physics
1 answer:
ludmilkaskok [199]3 years ago
3 0
The copper is a conductor and the rubber is an insulator. Conductors allow electricity to be transmitted freely while insulators prevent most of the current from transmitting. The outer electrons of the conductor's atoms are not very stable and are able to freely move around the material. In a material such as copper, the valence electrons are essentially free and strongly repel each other. The atoms of insulators such as rubber, hold tight to their outer electrons which prevents electricity from flowing freely through.

A helicopter has blades of length 4.0 m rotating at 3.0 rev/s in a horizontal plane.If the vertical component of the Earth’s mag
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Induced emf, \epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 4 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, \omega=3\ rev/s=18.84\ rad/s

The vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is, B=6.5\times 10^5\ T

We need to find the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub. The induced emf in terms of angular velocity of an rotating object is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}B\omega l^2

\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.5\times 10^5\times 18.84\times (4)^2

\epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts

So, the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub is \epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

The escape speed from the moon is much smaller than from earth. True or False
Lisa [10]

Answer:

True

The escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Explanation:

The escape speed is defined as:

v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}  (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass and r is the radius.

The mass of the Earth is 5.972x10^{24}kg and its radius is 6371000m

Then, replacing those values in equation 1 it is gotten.

v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(5.972x10^{24}kg)}{(6371000m)}}  

v_{e} = 11.18m/s

For the case of the Moon:

v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(7.347x10^{22}Kg)}{(1737000m)}}  

v_{e} = 2.38m/s

Hence, the escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Since it has a smaller mass and smaller radius compared to that from the Earth.

A laser used to dazzle the audience at a rock concert emits blue light with a wavelength of 463 nm . calculate the frequency of
ZanzabumX [31]

The wavelength of light is given as 463 nm or can also be written as 463 x 10^-9 m. [wavelength = ʎ]

We know that the speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s or approximately 3 x 10^8 m / s. [speed of light = c]

 

Given the two values, we can calculate for the frequence (f) using the formula:

f = c / ʎ

 

Substituting the given values:

f = (3 x 10^8 m / s) / 463 x 10^-9 m

f = 6.48 x 10^14 / s = 6.48 x 10^14 s^-1

<span>f = 6.48 x 10^14 Hz</span>
