aniked [119]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because it's an insulator derived from oil and natural gas

Explanation:

Styrofoam is a foamed plastic material. The material is manufactured from polystyrene compounds. This is a thermoplastic polymer obtained from the polymerization of styrene monomer.

Styrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon of formula C8H8, which is formed by a benzene ring with an ethylene substitute.

Suppose you have a 34.9 m length of copper wire. If the wire is wrapped into a solenoid 0.240 m long and having a radius of 0.05
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

the strength of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 6.278 x 10⁻³ T.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, = 34.9 m

length of solenoid, L = 0.24 m

radius of the solenoid, r = 0.051 m

current in the solenoid, I = 11.0 A

The number of turns of the wire is calculated as follow;

N = \frac{34.9}{2\pi \times 0.051} = 109 \ turns

The strength of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is calculated as follows;

B = \mu_0 (\frac{N}{L} )I\\\\B = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times (\frac{109}{0.24} )\times 11.0 \\\\B = 6.278 \times 10^{-3} \ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 6.278 x 10⁻³ T.

An object in circular motion has velocity that is constantly changing. The direction of the acceleration is
Keith_Richards [23]
<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.  

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say \vec{V} is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory, therefore   the acceleration \vec{a} is directed toward the center of the circumference.

Stars seen in the night sky appear to move ____ relative to polaris.
Fed [463]

The answer is counter clockwise relative to the polaris. The polaris, also known as northern star would seem a bit more stable on the night sky as the point of vision is up north, the stars however around this would look as if it was rotating, left to right but since the earth is round in shape it follows a circular pattern.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 20º to 30ºC. The specific heat of copper is 390 J/kgºC.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

7800 J

Explanation:

Heat needed = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x change in temperature  

Change in temperature = 30ºC - 20ºC = 10ºC

Specific heat of copper = 390 J/kgºC

Mass of copper = 2 Kg

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get –  

Heat needed = 2 Kg x 390 J/kgºC x 10ºC

= 7800 J
