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.

g A lighter ball A with momentum PA=5.0 kg∙m/s in positive x-direction approaches a heavier ball B at rest before the collision.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

7kgm/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Let P1A and P1B be the initial momentum of the bodies A and B respectively

Let P2A and P2B be the final momentum of the bodies A and B respectively after collision.

Based on the law:

P1A+P2A = P1B + P2B

Given P1A = 5kgm/s

P2A = 0kgm/s(ball B at rest before collision)

P2A = -2.0kgm/s (negative because it moves in the negative x direction)

P2B = ?

Substituting the values in the equation gives;

5+0 = -2+P2B

5+2 = P2B

P2B = 7kgm/s

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2

Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%
