What is the difference between conductor and insulator

1 answer:

ladessa [460]3 years ago

5 0

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

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

$l_o =52 \ m$

b

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the spaceship is $v = 0.800c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

The length is $l = 31.2 \ m$

The distance of the star for earth is $d = 145 \ light \ years$

The speed is $v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}$

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

$l = l_o \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Now the when at rest the length is $l_o$

So

$l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }$

$l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }$

$l_o=52 \ m$

Considering b

Applying above equation

$l =l_o \sqrt{1 - [\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Here $l_o =145 \ LY(light \ years )$

So

$l=145 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }$

$l =145 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

A Carnot air conditioner operates between an indoor temperature of 20°C and an outdoor temperature of 39°C. How much energy does

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

D. 130 J

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance for a machine that is being used to cool, is given by:

$COP=\frac{Q_C}{W}=\frac{T_C}{T_H-T_C}$

Here $Q_C$ is the heat removed from the cold reservoir, W is the work required, that is, the energy required to remove the heat from the interior of the house, $T_C$ is the cold temperature and $T_H$ is the hot temperature. Recall use absolutes temperatures( $273.15+^\circ C$ ). Replacing and solving for W:

$W=Q_c\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}\\W=2000J\frac{312.15K-293.15K}{293.15K}\\W=129.63J$
