Answer:

PCBs have high electrical resistance and are excellent insulating materials.

Explanation:

Polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs] are industrial chemical compounds made by man, which contains carbon, hydrogen and chlorine atoms. They can be used in the production of paints and dyes, heat transfer, etc.

There has been the ban on the use of these compounds because they are said to be very stable, and yield slowly to degradation by nature. They have low and not high electrical resistance.

you and your friend left a bus terminal at the same time and traveled in opposite directions. Your bus was in heavy traffic and
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The rate at which bus 1 is going is 55 mph

The rate at which bus 1 is going is 35 mph

Explanation:

As per the question:

Suppose, the distance traveled by Bus 1 be 'd' at the rate R after a time, t = 3h

Thus  

Suppose, the distance traveled by Bus 1 be 'd'' at the rate, R'20 mph slower than the rate of Bus 1 after the same time.

R' = R - 20

The distance is given as the product of rate and time:

d = Rt         (1)

Now, the total distance given is 270 miles:

d + d' = 270

Now, using eqn (1):

Rt + R't = 270

3(R + R - 20) = 270

6R = 270 + 60

R = 55 mph

R' = R - 20 = 55 - 20 = 35 mph

Does light slow down or speed up when it passes from the air into the cornea? How do you know this?
Georgia [21]
Light slows down when it passes from the air to the cornea because the cornea supply’s two thirds of the power of the eye. The speed of light changes significantly when traveling from air into the cornea.

What does a plant use in photosynthesis and what are the products? <br><br> PLEASE HELP:)
LenaWriter [7]

During photosynthesis: Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a green substance found in chloroplasts in some plant cells and algae. Absorbed light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide (from the air) and water (from the soil) into a sugar called glucose. Oxygen is released as a by-product.
