Answer:

There are three types of material as per the condition of charge flow

1) Conductor

2) Insulator

3) Semiconductor

1) Conductors

As we know that conductors are those which offer very small resistance to the flow of charge

Resistivity of the conductors are very small

2) Insulators

These type of materials offer large resistance to the flow of charges and it will not pass the current through it

So resistivity of the insulators are large as compared to conductors

If I want to calculate the normal force of an object on two legs but the weight of the object is not uniform throughout, how do

RoseWind [281]

Use the right equation. To calculate the normal force of an object at an angle, you need to use the formula: N = m * g * cos (x) For this equation, N refers to the normal force, m refers to the object's mass, g refers to the acceleration of gravity, and x refers to the angle of incline.

An Iowa class warship holds the record for the fastest warship. If the ship accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.15 m/s² for 2 m

Mumz [18]

The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration

Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:

0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?

dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

$I = MR^2$
