A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow  of electricity.

  • A rubber is an insulator.
  • Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
  • The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
  • When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
  • Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 96 ft/s. What is the height of the cliff? (Use 32 ft/s2 for t
nadezda [96]
The initial velocity of the stone is 0 ft/s. Given the initial velocity (Vi), final velocity (Vf), and acceleration due to gravity (g), the distance may be calculated through the equation,
                                     d = ((Vf)² - (Vi)²) / 2g
Substituting the known values,
                                     d = ((96 ft/s)² - 0))/ (2x32.2)
The value of d is 143.10 ft.

What area of the earth contains semi-solid rock and lava
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

mantle

Explanation:

Below the crust lies a layer of very hot, almost solid rock called the mantle. Beneath the mantle lies the core. The outer core is a liquid mix of iron and nickel, but the inner core is solid metal. Sometimes, hot molten rock, called magma, bursts through Earth's surface in the form of a volcano.

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radiu
IrinaK [193]
The centripetal force is:
 F = mv² / R
 Where:
 m: mass of the object
 v: object speed
 R: radius of the curve.
 We have to:
 m = 2000kg
 v = 25 m / s
 R = 80 meters.
 Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
 F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
 F = 15625 N
