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.

Why is sustainable use important?

marusya05 [52]

To make sure that we have enough resourses to sustain ourselves. You see, if we use up, say, all water on earth, then obviously we won't have any more and we'll die.

A tube of water is open on one end to the environment while the other end is closed. The height of the water relative to the bas

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1.06 atm

Explanation:

On the open end of the tube, the pressure will be the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the height of water

The pressure due to a height of water = ρgh

where ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the height of the water column

The height of water column on the open end = 100 cm = 1 m

pressure on this end = ρgh = 1000 x 9.81 x 1 = 9810 Pa

Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

The total pressure on the open end = 101325 Pa + 9810 Pa = 111135 Pa

The pressure due to the water column on the closed end = ρgh

The height of the water in the closed end = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The pressure due to this column of water = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = 3924 Pa

The resultant pressure on the water on the top of the closed end of the tube = 111135 Pa - 3924 Pa = 107211 Pa

In atm unit, this pressure = 107211/101325 = 1.06 atm

What is the relationship between the masses of the objects and the gravitational force between them

irga5000 [103]

The relationship between the masses of the object and the gravitational force between them is a direct relationship

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

We observe that:

- The gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the two objects, m1 and m2, so if the masses increase, the force will increase as well (so, this is a direct relationship)

- The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the objects, so if the distance is increased, the force will decrease (so, this is an inverse relationship)

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light

larisa [96]

The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h
