The parents of a young child carefully placed plastic plug protectors in all the electrical outlets in their house. Which statem

ent best describes the role of the plastic protectors?
a. Electricity is transported through wires, which are good conductors of electricity. To prevent the flow of electricity into other objects, a material that will prevent the flow of electricity from escaping the wires needs to be used. Certain types of plastics, which are good conductors, are one of many materials that can be used.

b. Electrical outlets contain metal wires that are good conductors of electricity. In order to promote electrical safety, the parents covered the outlets with plastic, an insulator that prevents electrical current from flowing to another object.

c. Plastic is a good conductor of electricity. Placing plastic covers over the electrical outlets allows the electrical current to be redirected back to the plug and ensures the safety of those around the outlets.

d. Plastics and metals are good conductors. This is why plastics can be used to prevent the flow of electricity from materials, like metal wires, to other objects. By preventing the flow of electricity, these help keep people safe.

The answer is B since A, C and D all say that plastic is a good conductor but it isn't. It is an insulator that is there to stop the electrical current being passed on to other items so nobody gets electricuted so B must be correct.

What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mmmm below the center of the bottom surface of the plate
Aleksandr [31]

Complete Question

A thin, horizontal, 12-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to 4.4 nC . Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on the surface. What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mm above the center of the top surface of the plate?

Answer:

The  values is  E =248.2 \  N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  diameter is  d =  12 \  cm  =  0.12 \ m

    The charge  is  Q =  4.4 nC  =  4.4 *10^{-9} \  C

    The  distance from the center  is  k =  0.1 \ mm   =  1*10^{-4} \  m

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as

        r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>     r =  \frac{0.12}{2}

=>       r =  0.06 \  m

Generally electric field is mathematically represented as  

       E =  \frac{Q}{ 2\epsilon_o } [1 - \frac{k}{\sqrt{r^2 +  k^2 } } ]

substituting values  

      E =  \frac{4.4 *10^{-9}}{ 2* (8.85*10^{-12}) } [1 - \frac{(1.00 *10^{-4})}{\sqrt{(0.06)^2 +  (1.0*10^{-4})^2 } } ]

     E =248.2 \  N/C

An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.07 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outd
Damm [24]

Answer:

1069.38 gallons

Explanation:

Let V₀ = 1.07 × 10³ be the initial volume of the gasoline at temperature θ₁ = 52 °F. Let V₁ be the volume at θ₂ = 97 °F.

V₁ = V₀(1 + βΔθ)  β = coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline = 9.6 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹

Δθ = (5/9)(97°F -52°F) °C = 25 °C.

Let V₂ be its final volume when it cools to 52°F in the tank is

V₂ = V₁(1 - βΔθ) = V₀(1 + βΔθ)(1 - βΔθ) = V₀(1 - [βΔθ]²)

    = 1.07 × 10³(1 - [9.6 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹ × 25 °C]²)

    = 1.07 × 10³(1 - [0.024]²)

    =  1.07 × 10³(1 - 0.000576)

    = 1.07 × 10³(0.999424)

    = 1069.38 gallons

Which one of the following statements is false?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

d) False. If the angular momentum is zero, it implies in electro without turning, which would create a collapse towards the nucleus, so in both models the moment must be different from zero

Explanation:

Affirmations

a) true. The orbits are accurate in the Bohr model and probabilistic in quantum mechanics

b) True. If both give the same results and use the same quantum number (n)

c) True. If in angular momentum it is quantized, in the Bohr model too but it does not justify it

d) False. If the angular momentum is zero, it implies in electro without turning, which would create a collapse towards the nucleus, so in both models the moment must be different from zero
