Explain what makes some materials better than others in how they insulate.

Physics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

They are not conductors of heat.

Explanation:

Metals, like steel, are good conductors because of the particles they are made of. Materials like rubber are good insulators, because they don't pick up heat easily. Vacuums(not vacuum cleaners, matter-less voids) are good insulators.

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6100 rpm. When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in
MissTica

Answer:

<em>155.80rad/s</em>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion to find the angular acceleration:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

\omega_f is the final angular velocity in rad/s

\omega_i  is the initial angular velocity in rad/s

\alpha is the angular acceleration

t is the time taken

Given the following

\omega_f = 6100rpm

Time = 4.1secs

Convert the angular velocity to rad/s

1rpm = 0.10472rad/s

6100rpm = x

x = 6100 * 0.10472

x  = 638.792rad/s

\omega_f = 638.792rad/s\\

Get the angular acceleration:

Recall that:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

638.792 = 0 + ∝(4.1)

4.1∝ = 638.792

∝ = 638.792/4.1

∝ = 155.80rad/s

<em>Hence the angular acceleration as the blades slow down is 155.80rad/s</em>

A boat is traveling at 80 km/hr. How many hours will it take for the boat to cover a distance of 115 km?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 115 km

r = 80 km/hr

t = ?

Equation

d = r*T

Solution

115 = 80 * t    Divide by 80

115/80 = t

t = 1.4375 hours.

A cannon at rest fires a 32.5 kg cannonball forward at 388 m/s. After firing, the cannon recoils at 7.42 m/s. What is the mass o
Bond [772]

Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg
