Explain why gases are good insulators?

Physics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:Gases do not conduct heat as well as liquids and are therefore good insulators. Gases consist of widely spread out particles, and it takes contact to conduct heat. ... They are insulators if they are not ionized and there are no free charged particles there that can carry electric current.

A freight train leaves the train station 4hrs before a passenger train. The two trains are traveling in the same direction on pa
enot [183]
It can be said that most of the required information's are already given in the question. 
Let us assume the speed of the passenger train = x
Speed of the freight train = y
x = y + 40
The second equation will be 
6 * x = 10 * y
6x = 10y
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
3x = 5y
x = 5y/3
Putting the value of "x" in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
5y/3 = y + 40
5y = 3y + 120
5y - 3y = 120
2y = 120
y = 60 mph
Putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
   = 60 + 40
   = 100 mph
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the passenger train is traveling at 100 mph and the freight train is traveling at 60 mph.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

This can be part of your paragraph.

Explanation:

From the cornea, the light passes through the pupil. The iris, or the colored part of your eye, controls the amount of light passing through. From there, it then hits the lens. This is the clear structure inside the eye that focuses light rays onto the retina.

What happens to a circuit's resistance (R), voltage (V), and current (1) when
hammer [34]

Answer:

D.

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = \frac{(Resistivity)(L)}{A}

It is clear from this formula that resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire. So, when length of wire is increased, <u>the resistance of circuit increases</u>.

The <u>voltage in the circuit will be constant</u> as the voltage source remains same and it is not changed.

Now, we can use Ohm Law:

V = IR

at constant V:

I ∝ 1/R

it means that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Hence, the increase of resistance causes <u>the current in circuit to decrease.</u>

Therefore, the correct option will be:

<u>D.</u>

<u>R increases </u>

<u>V is constant </u>

<u>I decreases</u>

Which substances in the simulation have particles that are only atoms?
Travka [436]

All matter is made of particles; these can be single atoms or atoms chemically joined to make molecules. Using this fact, matter can be classified into three broad groups: elements, compounds and mixtures. In an element, all the atoms are of the same type. If more than one type of atom is chemically joined, then a compound has been formed. If more than one type of atom or molecule is contained in the same substance, and the particles aren't chemically joined, this is a mixture.
