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.

<span>If you think about it, changing the scale to which something is measured does not affect the repeatability of the measurement. For instance, if you have a meter stick which was labeled incorrectly, that doesn't affect the fact that every measurement you take of a certain fixed distance will still be the same. Precision does not equal accuracy.</span>

A horizontally oriented pipe has a diameter of 5.8 cm and is filled with water. The pipe draws water from a reservoir that is in
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

v₂ = 97.4 m / s

Explanation:

Let's write the Bernoulli equation

         P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Index 1 is for tank and index 2 for exit

We can calculate the pressure in the tank with the equation

        P = F / A

Where the area of ​​a circle is

       A = π r²

E radius is half the diameter

      r = d / 2

      A = π d² / 4

We replace

    P = F 4 / π d²2

    P₁ = 397 4 /π  0.058²

    P₁ = 1.50 10⁵ Pa

The water velocity in the tank is zero because it is at rest (v1 = 0)

The outlet pressure, being open to the atmosphere is P1 = 1.13 105 Pa

Since the pipe is horizontal y₁ = y₂

We replace on the first occasion

   P₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²

  v₂ = √ (P1-P2) 2 / ρ

  v₂ = √ [(1.50-1.013) 10⁵ 2/1000]

  v₂ = 97.4 m / s

Withe light becomes a spectrum of seven colored lights after passing through a prism
Fiesta28 [93]

True. The 7 colors, also called a rainbow, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This rainbow is formed because the prism bends the white light and spreads it out into the colors it was made of. If there is more you were looking for, comment here.
