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

Physics

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.

A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.241/min. if the initial concentration of a is 0.859 m, what is the concentration
nordsb [41]

Answer: 0.077 M

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.241minute^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 10 minutes

a = initial amount of the reactant= 0.859 M

a - x = amount left after decay process =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.241 minutes^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{10.0}\log\frac{0.859}{a-x}

(a-x)=0.077M

Thus the concentration of a after 10.0 minutes is 0.077 M.

A car company wants to ensure its newest model can stop in less than 450 ft when traveling at 60 mph. If we assume constant dece
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .
