What materials in a torch are conductors and insulators?

1 answer:

8 0

Are you sure you weren't given any options? Basically the electrical components, e.g wires and bulbs will be conductors, and the part comprising the outer casing, e.g plastic, glass, will be insulators

a) $2.82(10)^{21} kg$

b) $1410 J$

c) $36.62 m/s$

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density $\rho$ is defined as a relation between mass $m$ and volume $V$ :

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho=2720 kg/m^{3}$ is the average density of the continent

$m$ is the mass of the continent

$V$ is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

$V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}$

Finding the mass:

$m=\rho V$ (2)

$m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3})$ (3)

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy $K$ is given by the following equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ (5)

Where:

$m=2.82(10)^{21} kg$ is the mass of the continent

$v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s$ is the velocity of the continent

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2}$ (6)

$K=1410 J$ (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass $m=77 kg$ and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent $1413 J$ , we can find its velocity by isolating $v$ from (5):

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}}$ (6)

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}$

Finally:

$v=36.62 m/s$ This is the speed of the jogger

When NASA was communicating with astronauts on the Moon, the time from sending on the Earth to receiving on the moon was 1.33 s.

frez [133]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of movement description, which determine the velocity, such as the displacement of a particle as a function of time, that is to say

$v = \frac{x}{t}\rightarrow x = v*t$

Where,

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

t = Time

Our values are given as,

$v=3*10^8m/s$

$t = 1.33 s$

Replacing we have that,

$x=v*t$

$x=(3*10^8)(1.33)$

$x = 399'000.000m$

Therefore the distance from Earth to the Moon is 399.000 km

Which statement describes the magnetic field inside a bar magnet?

kakasveta [241]

The statement that describes the magnetic field inside a bar magnet is as follows: it points from north to south.

<h3>What is a bar magnet?</h3>

A bar magnet is a permanent magnet of rectangular shape.

A magnet generally possess a magnetic field, which is a condition in the space around a magnet which there is a detectable magnetic force and the presence of two magnetic poles.

A bar magnet like every other magnet possesses a magnetic field that points from the north pole to the south pole.

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is $m=230\ kg$

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of $u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s$

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of $45^{\circ}$

Height of the hill is $h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m$

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

$\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ$
