Explain, in terms of electrons, the difference between conductors and insulators

Physics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago

The most common difference between the two is that while conductors allow free flow of electrons from one atom to another, insulators restrict free flow of electrons. Conductors allow electrical energy to pass through them, whereas insulators do not allow electrical energy to pass through them.

A body has an initial velocity of 12 m s^-1 and is brought to rest over a distance of 45 m. What is the acceleration of the body
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

-1.46 m/s^2

Explanation:

Write down what is given first:

v0 = 12 m/s

vf = 0 m/s

d = 45 m

We are trying to find acceleration, so we will use the equation vf^2 = v0^2 + 2ad

Plug in the values we have:

0^2 = 12^2 + (2 x 45 x a)

a = - 1.46 m/s^2

Note that this acceleration is negative because the body is slowing down, so the acceleration with be negative, because the change in velocity is negative.

A positively charged particle initially at rest on the ground accelerates upward to 160 m/s in 2.90 s . The particle has a charg
Ksju [112]

Answer:

E = 5.5 10² N /C

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

the force is electric

        F = q E

we substitute

        q E = m a

         E = \frac{m}{q} \ a               (1)

the acceleration can be found with kinematics,

        v = v₀ + a t

as the particle starts from rest v₀ = 0

        a = v / t

        a = 160 / 2.90

        a = 55.17 m / s²

 

the relationship

        q / m = 0.100 C / kg

        m / q = 10 kg / C

we use equation 1

        E = 10  55.17

        E = 551.7 N / C

        E = 5.517 10² N / C

ask for the result with two significant figures

         E = 5.5 10² N /C

A thin 1.5 mm coating of glycerine has been placed between two microscope slides of width 0.8 cm and length 3.9 cm . Find the fo
Radda [10]

The  force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

<h3>Force required to pull one end at a constant speed</h3>

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F = ma

where;

  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.

F = m x 0

F = 0

Thus, the  force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.
