The conductors carry current which is required to power appliances and lights. The insulators are around the conductors to keep them from touching each other, from touching the house, or any other thing besides what they are powering. Without insulators, houses would be likely to burn down

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

0.011 m.

Explanation:

Energy stored in the spring = Energy of the projectile.

1/2ke² = mgh ................ Equation 1

Where k = spring constant, e = extension or compression, m = mass of the projectile, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

make e the subject of the equation

e = √(2mgh/k)............................. Equation 2

Given: k = 12 N/cm = 1200 N/m, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg, h = 5.0 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

e = √(2×0.015×5/1200)

e = √(0.15/1200)

e = √(0.000125)

e = 0.011 m.
