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 bullet fired into a fixed target loses half of its velocity after penetrating 3 cm. How much further it will penetrate before

Darina [25.2K]

${\mathfrak{\underline{\purple{\:\:\: Given:-\:\:\:}}}} \\ \\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{First \: penetrating \: length\:(s_{1}) = 3 \: cm}$

$\\$

${\mathfrak{\underline{\purple{\:\:\:To \:Find:-\:\:\:}}}} \\ \\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{Let \: Initial \: velocity = v\:m/s} \\\\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{Left \: velocity \: after \: s_{1} \: penetration = \dfrac{v}{2} \:m/s} \\\\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{s_{1} = \dfrac{3}{100} = 0.03 \: m}$

$\\$

☯ As we know that,

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2as }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ \bigg(\dfrac{v}{2} \bigg)^{2} = {v}^{2} + 2a s_{1}}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2} }{4} = {v}^{2} + 2 \times a \times 0.03 }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2} }{4} - {v}^{2} = 0.06 \times a }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{\dfrac{ - 3{v}^{2} }{4} = 0.06 \times a }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{a = \dfrac{ - 3 {v}^{2} }{4 \times 0.06} }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ a = \dfrac{ - 25 {v}^{2} }{2}\:m/s^{2} ......(1) }$

$\\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{ Initial\:velocity=v\:m/s} \\\\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{ Final \: velocity = 0 \: m/s }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{{0}^{2} = {v}^{2} + 2 \times \dfrac{ - 25 {v}^{2} }{2} \times s }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ - {v}^{2} = - 25 {v}^{2} \times s }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ s = \dfrac{ - {v}^{2} }{ - 25 {v}^{2} }}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ s = \dfrac{1}{25} }$

☯ For left penetration (s₂)

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{s = s_{1} + s_{2} }$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ 0.04 = 0.03 + s_{2}}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{ s_{2} = 0.04 - 0.03 }$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{s_{2} = 0.01 \: m = {\boxed{\sf{\purple{1 \: cm }}} }}$

What two motions combine to produce an orbit?

Ivenika [448]

I'm pretty sure it's Inertia and Gravity

Inertia deals with an object's tendency to stay in motion at a constant speed.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.
