Explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home

Conductors (something that allows electricity to flow easily) allow for electricity to flow easily. This would be the wires. If you don't have conductors, then you cannot have electricity flow.

Insulators (something that doesn't allow electricity to flow through it) is important because it allows us to be able to touch the cables or place them next to one another and not shock ourselves.

Name 2 forces acting on an object at rest Only need 1 got gravity
mote1985 [20]

You mean like a box sitting on a table.

One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.

Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating.  But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.

The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box.  It's called
the "normal force".
