Silver is best conductor with copper close behind.

best insulator depends on application. Teflon is best for very small currents, ceramic is probably best for high voltage, although a vacuum is also very good.

A truck is moving at 25.0 m/s and sees a barrier in the road 100 m ahead. The truck can decelerate at 4 m/s2. Will the truck hit
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

No, the truck will not cross the barrier.

The closeness of the truck to the barrier is of 21.875 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the truck, v = 25.0 m/s

Acceleration of the truck, a = - 4 m/s^{2}

Now,

Since, the barrier at a distance of 100 m. Thus in order to check whether the truck hit the barrier or not, we will see the distance, d it covers by using the kinematic eqn:

v'^{2} = v^{2} + 2ad

Final velocity, v' = 0 m/s

Initial velocity = v

Now,

0^{2} = 25^{2} + 2\times -4d

- 8d = - 625

d = 78.125 m

Thus the truck will not cross the barrier.

Distance between the barrier and the truck:

100 - 78.125 = 21.875 m

The layers that make up the upper mantle are the following.

  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
  • The rocky outer part of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
  • It is very rigid, solid, and it is not as hot as the other parts.
  • According to scientists, its thickness is about 90 to 100 kilometers from the surface of the earth.
  • The layer of the Earth that moves the lithospheric plates is called the asthenosphere.
  • Lithospheric plates are 60 miles long on average and are composed of continental crust.

We conclude that the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle. The new lithosphere is being created at oceanic ridges due to plate tectonics. Yes, planet Earth is getting larger constantly.

What do we call the average motion of moving atoms and molecules in the atmosphere?

Kinetic and potential energies are found in all objects. If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object.

A car parked on level pavement exerts a force of 10,000 newtons on the ground. What force does the pavement exert back on the ca
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Normal force of 10,000N

Explanation:

From the question, the weight the car exerts on the pavement is 10,000N.

The pavement exerts upward and perpendicular contact force called normal force on the car to support its weight. Also, the normal force is equal and opposite to the weigh of the car.

Hence the pavement exerts normal force of 10,000N back on the car to prevent it from passing through it.
