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 small car with mass m and speed 2v and a large car with mass 2m and speed v both travel the same circular section of an unbank
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

(D) F/2

Explanation:

Since the circular section is unbanked, the centripedal acceleration acting on each of the cars is

a_s = \frac{v_s^2}{r} = \frac{(2v)^2}{r} = \frac{4v^2}{r}

a_l = \frac{v_l^2}{r} = \frac{v^2}{r}

Therefore the centripetal force on each car

F_s = m_sa_s = \frac{4mv^2}{r}

F_l = m_la_l = \frac{2mv^2}{r}

Since F_s = 2F_l this means the friction force required to keep the large car on the road is only half of the friction force required to keep the small car on road

So (D) F/2 is the correct answer

Which best compares radiation and conduction?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The statements that best compares radiation and conduction are the following: both transfer thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects and both can transfer energy through matter. The difference is that conduction is through direct heat transfer; whereas, radiation transfers heat through waves.
