Explanation:

Because where there is water, energy is conducted, and <u>moves </u>the electrons.
They also move excess electrons because pure water is a poor conductor

Object A has 27 J of kinetic energy. Object B has one-quarter the mass of object A.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

the final speed of object A changed by a factor of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = 0.58

the final speed of object B changed by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 1.29

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of object A, = 27 J

let the mass of object A = $m_A$

then, the mass of object B = $m_B = \frac{m_A}{4}$

work done on object A = -18 J

work done on object B = -18 J

let $v_i$ be the initial speed

let $v_f$ be the final speed

For object A;

$K.E_A = 27\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = 27\\\\m_A v_i^2 = 54\\\\m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} ----Equation \ (1)\\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem;\\\\\delta K.E_A = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A ( v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 )\ =- 18\\\\v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 = -\frac{36}{m_A} ---Equation \ (2)\\\\v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 = -\frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 \ =v_i^2 - \frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2 -36v_i^2 }{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{18v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{v_i^2}{3} \\\\$

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{v_i^2}{3} }\\\\v_f = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \ v_i\\\\$

Thus, the final speed of object A changed by a factor of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = 0.58

To obtain the change in the final speed of object B, apply the following equations.

$K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2\\\\m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2\\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{m_Av_i^2}{8} \\\\But, \ m_Av_i^2 = 54 \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{54}{8} \\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem ;\\\\\delta K.E = -18\\\\K.E_f -K.E_i = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}m_Bv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2 = -18\\\\Recall \ m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\$

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 = \frac{8}{m_A} \times 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144}{m_A} \\\\But , m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} \\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = v_i^2 - \frac{144v_i^2}{54}\\\\v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2-144v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{-90v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{-5v_i^2}{3} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5v_i^2}{3}} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \ v_i$

Thus, the final speed of object B changed by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 1.29

Recessed incandescent luminaires not marked type ic and those marked for installing directly in ___________ must not have insula

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Recessed incandescent luminaires not marked type ic and those marked for installing directly in insulated ceilings must not have insulation over the top of the luminaire.

Explanation:

Depending on how they interact with insulation, lighting fixtures are rated at various levels. Non-IC rated lighting fixtures can accommodate higher wattage bulbs, but they also pose the greatest fire risk when used with the incorrect insulation.

In locations with insulation, light fixtures that are not IC rated may be installed. But there is a condition. The distance between the fixture and any insulation should be 3 inches. But the 3 inch gap in the insulation would negate the goal of insulation by producing a lot of uninsulated space, so this defies logic. Building a box-style cover to cover the fixture on the attic side is one option to fix this. Drywall or foil-faced foam insulation can be used to create this box. After the cover is put in place, insulation can be added for maximum effectiveness.

Which statement describes how the photoelectric effect causes an electric

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. Light acts as particles, causing electrons on the surface it strikes to be destroyed.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light shined onto a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from that metal. It was observed that only certain frequencies of light are able to cause the ejection of electrons.
