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.

Answer: A

si, di, are expressed as negative and f is expressed as positive values.

Explanation:

When the object is located at a location in front of the focal point of a convex len, the image will always be located somewhere on the same side of the lens as the object. The image is located behind the object. In this case, the image will be an upright image and the image is enlarged

In this question, the relationship between the focal length, image distance di and object distance is

I/f = 1/di + 1/do that is

I/f - 1/di - 1/do = 0

The image size si is also negative since the image is a virtual image.

Therefore, si, di, are expressed as negative, f is expressed as positive values.

suppose a ball is thrown vertically upward. Eight seconds later it returns to its point of release. What is the initial velocity
valentinak56 [21]
The ball took half of the total time ... 4 seconds ... to reach its highest
point, where it began to fall back down to the point of release.

At its highest point, its velocity changed from upward to downward. 
At that instant, its velocity was zero.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  That means that an object that's
acted on only by gravity gains 9.8 m/s of downward speed every second. 

-- If the object is falling downward, it moves 9.8 m/s faster every second.

-- If the object is tossed upward, it moves 9.8 m/s slower every second.

The ball took 4 seconds to lose all of its upward speed.  So it must have
been thrown upward at  (4 x 9.8 m/s)  =  39.2 m/s .

(That's about  87.7 mph straight up.  Somebody had an amazing pitching arm.)

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the source of rivers and streams?
MrRa [10]
<span>The water is  clearer, has higher oxygen levels, and freshwater fish such as trout and heterotrophs can be found. In the middle of the river, the width increases, so do the species of  aquatic green plants and algae. Toward the mouth of the river, the water becomes murky from all the sediments that it has picked up upstream.<span>

A sound wave travels through water. What best describes the direction of the water particles?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next.

A water wave is an example of a transverse wave. As water particles move up and down, the water wave itself appears to move to the right or left.

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?
saw5 [17]

The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

 

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>
