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.

Answer:

d = 1.24 kg/m³

v = 0.81 m³/kg

Explanation:

To do this, we need to analyze the given data and know the expressions we need to use here to do calculations.

We have a pressure of 1.05 atm and 300 K of temperature. To determine the density, we need to use a similar expression of an ideal gas. In this case, instead of using moles, we will use density:

P = dRT

d = P/RT  (1)

Where:

R: universal constant of gases

d: density.

From here we can determine the specific volume by using the following expression:

v = 1/d   (2)

Now, as we are looking for density, we need to convert the units of pressure in atm to Pascal (or N/m) and the conversion is the following:

P = 1.05 atm * 1.013x10⁵ N/m atm = 106,365 N/m

Now, using R as 287 the density would be:

d = 106,365 / (287 * 300)

<h2>d = 1.24 kg/m³</h2>

Finally the specific volume:

v = 1 / 1.41

<h2>v = 0.81 m³/kg</h2>

Hope this helps
