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.

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.146 kg baseball crashing through the pane
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Impulse, |J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s

Force, F = 63.35 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.146 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 15.3 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 10.7 m/s

To find,

(a) The magnitude of this impulse.

(b) The magnitude of the average force of the glass on the ball.

Solution,

(a) Impulse of an object is equal to the change in its momentum. It is given by :

J=m(v-u)

J=0.146\ kg(10.7-15.3)\ m/s

J = -0.6716 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s

(b) Another definition of impulse is given by the product of force and time of contact.

t = 0.0106 s

J=F\times \Delta t

F=\dfrac{J}{\Delta t}

F=\dfrac{0.6716\ kg-m/s}{0.0106\ s}

F = 63.35 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 5.0 ml at a pressure of 1.50 atm. what is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume
olchik [2.2K]

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 5.0 ml at a pressure of 1.50 atm. what is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume increases to 30.0 ml, at constant temperature is 0.25atm.

On constant temperature, the pressure and volume relation become constant before and after the change in quantitities have occurred.

According to Boyle's Law,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

where, P₁ is pressure exerted by the gas initially

V₁ is the volume of gas initially

P₂ is pressure exerted by the gas finally

V₂ is the volume of gas finally

Given,

P₁ = 1.5 atm

V₁ = 5 ml

V₂ = 30 ml

P₂ =?

On substituting the given values in the above equation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.5 atm × 5 ml = P₂ × 30 ml

P₂ = 0.25 atm

Hence, pressure exerted by the gas is 0.25atm.

The potential difference between the surface of a 3.0-cm-diameter power line and a point 1.0 m distant is 3.9 kV. Find the line
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

The potential difference between two cylinders, is given as

V = (λ/2πε)ln(b/a)

where;

λ is the line charge density on the power line.

b is the distance between the power line = 1 m

a is the radius of the wire = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

ε is the permittivity of free space = 8.9 X 10⁻¹² C

V*2πε = λ* ln(b/a)

3900 *(2π*8.9 x10⁻¹²)= λ *ln(1/0.015)

2.1812 X 10⁻⁷ = 4.1997* λ

λ = 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Forces that act on an object but are not equal in size
mezya [45]
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction and do not cause a change in an object's movement are called balanced forces.

forces that aren't equal in size and do cause a change in movement (what it seems like you're asking for) are called UNBALANCED FORCES

so answer (in case that wasn't clear, as I'm tired) : unbalanced forces

how is it that an electric bulb lights up as soon as we turn the switch on if the drift speed is 1mm /s^2
galben [10]
Two analogies: 
1. The wires are like hoses full of water. As soon as you turn on the water, water is pushed out the end of the hose. 
2. Although the electrons only move at 1mm/s, the electomagnetic pulse travels through the circuit at near speed of light (varies btw .1c to .9c). It is this pulse that provides the pressure to push the electrons out the end of the wire into the light
