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.

A 300 cm rope under a tension of 120 N is set into oscillation. The mass density of the rope is 120 g/cm. What is the frequency
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

f = \sqrt{T/(m/L)} / 2L

T = 120 N

L = 3.00 m

(m/L) = 120 g/cm(100 cm/m / 1000 g/kg) = 12 kg/m

                                                  (wow that's massive for a "rope")

f = \sqrt{120/12} /(2(3)))

f = \sqrt{10\\}/6 = 0.527 Hz

This is a completely silly exercise unless this "rope" is in space somewhere as the weight of the rope (353 N on earth) far exceeds the tension applied.

A much more reasonable linear density would be 120 g/m resulting in a frequency of √1000/6 = 5.27 Hz on a rope that weighs only 3.5 N

Under certain conditions, it is possible to get more work out of a machine than you put into it.
Iteru [2.4K]
IF that were true, then you could take some of the work from the output,
put it back into the input to keep the machine running, and use the rest
to run the lights and the hot water heater in your house.  That way, you'd
never need to buy energy from the electric company.

You NEVER get more work out of a machine than you put into it.
Never never never.

(Unless there's a battery or a tiny gasoline engine or a hamster
on a treadmill inside.)

6. f = 128.62 s^{-1} , T= 0.0077775 s

7. f  = 2.2 * 10^{4} s^{-1}, T = 4.545 * 10^{-5} s

8. 32.64 s^{-1}

9. 3.29 * 10^{14} s^{-1}

Explanation:

Step 1:

6.

For light and sound v = fλ

where v represents the velocity

f represents the frequency

λ represents the wavelength

λ = 2.69 m

v = 346 m/s

f = v/λ = 346/2.69 = 128.62 s^{-1}

Time period is the reciprocal of frequency

T = 1/128.62 = 0.0077775 s

Step 2:

7.

λ = 110 cm = 1.1 m

v = 2.42*10^{4} m/s

f = 2.42*10^{4}/1.1 = 2.2 * 10^{4} s^{-1}

T = 1/(2.2*10^{4}) = 4.545 * 10^{-5} s

Step 3:

8.

λ = 10.6 m

v = 346 m/s

f = v/λ = 346/10.6 = 32.64 s^{-1}

Step 4:

9.

λ = 5.89 * 10^{-7} m

v = 1.94 * 10^{8} m/s

f = v/λ = 3.29 * 10^{14} s^{-1}

Which process is associated with an increase in kinetic energy, and what experimental evidence supports this?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Option B: the period during which a solid is not changing state; its temperature is increasing

Explanation:

The temperature is defined as a measurement of the speed at which particles of matter are moving (their kinetic energy)

Therefore for an increase of kinetic energy to take place, and increase of temperature has to occur.
