The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

Answer:

Its initial position was 471 m.

Explanation:

We have,

Final position of the object is 327 m

Displacement of the object is -144 m

It is required to find its initial position. The difference of final and initial position is equal to the displacement of the object. So,

$d=\text{final position}-\text{initial position}\\\\-144=327-\text{initial position}\\\\\text{initial position}=327+144\\\\\text{initial position}=471\ m$

So, its initial position was 471 m.

A car engine changes chemical potential energy into the blank energy of the moving car

kap26 [50]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Kinetic energy

A car engine changes chemical potential energy into the <u>kinetic energy</u> of the moving car.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

A car engine converts potential chemical energy stored in gasoline into thermal energy and then into kinetic mechanical energy.
When gasoline undergoes combustion it reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor.Gasoline is a mixture of octane and similar hydrocarbons and contains potential chemical energy.
The hot exhaust gases from the combustion of gasoline that are produced within the cylinder expand and exert pressure, moving the piston in the cylinder outward then inward as the gas is exhausted. Kinetic mechanical energy of the moving pistons is transferred to the drive shaft and eventually to the wheels, giving the car kinetic mechanical energy.

When the temperature of 2.35 m^3 of a liquid is increased by 48.5 degrees Celsius, it expands by 0.0920 m^3. What is its coeffic

alexandr1967 [171]

Coefficient of volume expansion is 8.1 ×10⁻⁴ C⁻¹.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The volume expansion of a liquid is given by ΔV,

ΔV = α V₀ ΔT

ΔT = change in temperature = 48.5° C

α = coefficient of volume expansion =?

V₀ = initial volume = 2.35 m³

We need to find α , by plugin the given values in the equation and by rearranging the equation as,

$\alpha=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}_{0} \Delta \mathrm{T}}=\frac{0.0920}{2.35 \times 48.5}=0.00081$

= 8.1 ×10⁻⁴ C⁻¹.
