Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

A) 330 N

Explanation: Her weight must be evenly distributed between the chains (assuming they are at an even level), so you divide 660 by 2 and get 330

A 0.46-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.2 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

Kryger [21]

Answer:

T = 6.0 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cord = 0.46 Kg

length of the supports = 7.2 m

time taken to travel = 0.74 s

tension in the chord = ?

using formula for tension calculation

$T = \dfrac{v^2.m}{l}$

$v = \dfrac{l}{s}$

$v = \dfrac{7.2}{0.74}$

v = 9.73 m/s

now, calculation of tension

$T = \dfrac{9.73^2\times 0.46}{7.2}$

T = 6.0 N

The tension in the cord is equal to 6.0 N.

liraira [26]

Answer: 8 meters per second

Explanation: If you add 60 to 20 you get 80 meters and since he ran those 80 meters in 10 seconds you divide 80 by ten and get 8 and then you get 8m/s
