You plug in an extension cord and have to be very careful around the electrical outlet. However, you can handle the extension co

rd without worry of being shocked by the electrical charge. Which statement best explains why you can do this?
(A) The cord is made of a combination of materials which are both good conductors of electricity. The combination of two conductors directs the flow of electricity away from you and down the cord.
(B) The extension cord is made of plastic which only conducts electricity for a certain period of time. If you handle the cord, the electricity passes through it so fast that you are not in danger of being shocked.
(C) The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
(D) The cord has a plastic cover which is a good conductor of electricity so it carries the electrical current away from your hand which is an insulator

I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

observer bias

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question the thing that should concern us the most about Sandi's observations is Observer Bias. This term refers to the tendency of a researcher to see what they want as opposed to what is actually happening. This can be said because of Sandi's belief that McDonald clients are all overweight, by having this belief before actually having come to this conclusion with a series of tests, it might lead her to believe this to be true regardless of what she observes during the experiment.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
lbvjy [14]
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

A force of 20.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 4.00 seconds. Calculate the impulse experienced by the object.​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Impulse = 80Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 3kg

Force = 20N

Time = 4 seconds

To find the impulse experienced by the object;

Impulse = force * time

Impulse = 20*4

Impulse = 80Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the object is 80 Newton-seconds.
