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

Physics

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) a = 1,865 m / s²  and  b)  t = 8.1 s

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration, we can work the equation in scalar form because displacement and force have the same direction

         F = m .a

         a = F / m

         a = 8.02 10² /4.3 10²

         a = 1,865 m / s²

b) We use kinematic relationships in one dimension

        vf = vo + at

        vf = 0 + a t

         t = vf / a

          t = 15.1 / 1.865

          t = 8.1 s

xenn [34]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c) sixty degrees ahead or behind Jupiter, sharing its orbit about the Sun.

Explanation:

The Trojan asteroids are the Jupiter trojans consists of asteroid that are on the same orbit as Jupiter while moving around the Sun. The Trojans can be located at the points Lagrange points L4 and L5, which are 60° ahead and 60°  behind Jupiter's orbit respectively.

The first Trojan asteroid to be detected was 588 Achilles by Max Wolf in 1906. At at October, the total number of the identified Trojan asteroid was  7,040.
