Answer:The correct answers are:

1. They trap heat in the spaces.  

2. They puts gaps between the particles to slow down conduction.

3.The make the material thicker so energy has to travel a further distance.

Explanation:

Insulating materials are those substance which opposes the flow of current through them and makes up bad conductor. There are air spaces present between these substances which :

  • Traps the heat in the spaces so that movement of energy can be prevented.
  • These spaces put gap between the particles of substance so that conduction of heat can be prevented.
  • Makes the material thick so that energy has to travel longer distance so that energy get lost or distributed in an insulator.

Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where l
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms

Explanation:

The simple formula of the distance covered in uniform motion can be used to find the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear.

\Delta s = v\Delta t\\\\\Delta t = \frac{\Delta s}{v}

where,

Δt = required time interval = ?

Δs = distance between ears = 18 cm = 0.18 m

v = speed of sound = 340 m/s

Therefore,

\Delta t = \frac{0.18\ m}{340\ m/s}

<u>Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms</u>

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2

A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

K.E\geq P.E

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq  G\dfrac{Mm}{R}

where m is the mass of the asteroid, R= 24,000,000\:m is its distance form earth's center, M = 5.9*10^{24}kg is the mass of the earth, and G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2 is the gravitational constant.

Solving for v we get:

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }

putting in numerical values gives

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }

\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}

in kilometers this is

v\geq5.7395m/s.

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

A circular dartboard has a radius of 2 meters and a red circle in the center. Assume you hit the target at a random point. For w
Sati [7]

Answer:

1.549 m

Explanation:

Given:

The radius of the circular board, r = 2 m

The probability of hitting the red is given as 0.6

Now, this probability of hitting the red can be conclude as

0.6 = (Area of red)/ (Total area of the board)

Total area of the board = πr² = π × 2²

let the radius of the red area be R

thus, area of red circle, = πR²

on substituting the value of the area, we have

0.6 = (πR²)/ (π × 2²)

or

R² = 2.4

or

R = 1.549 m

Thus, the radius of the red circle is 1.549 m

What are disadvantages of using fossil fuels to generate electricity? Check all that apply.
laila [671]
Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and create greenhouse gases.  While cheaper now to  burn fossil fuels, within fifty years we will run out and have to turn to other sources of energy.  Hope this helps!!!
