Answer: Wood is an insulator.

Explanation: Conductors are those substances which allow heat and electricity to pass through them.Example: Metals

Insulators are those substances which do not allow heat and electricity to pass through them. Example: wood

Pots and pans should be made of conducting material as the heat needs to be transferred from the burner to the pot and then to the food for cooking.

But the handles should be made from insulators so that they do not become hot and thus we can hold the utensil using the handles without getting burnt.

. A 1.00 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The ball travels up

Liula [17]

Answer:

p = -8 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 8 m/s

Mass of the rock, m = 1 kg

The ball travels up to a maximum height, then returns to the ground.

We need to find the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground. Let v be the final speed of the rock. Its final speed is as same as initial speed i.e. 8 m/s but in negative direction. So

p = mv

p = 1 kg × (-8 m/s)

= -8 kg-m/s

So, the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground is (-8 kg-m/s).

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in

Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

$T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}$

$\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}$

Given:-

${T}_{1} = 275 \; K$

${T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)$

${V}_{1} = V$

${V}_{2} = 6V$

$\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;$ (the gas is monoatomic)

$\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}$

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}$

T = 275 $\times$ 0.30

T = 83 K.

If 1 meter = 3.28 feet, what is the height of the Washington Monument in meters?

jasenka [17]

Since you didn't provide how tall the Monument was, I took the liberty to find it and it is 555 feet tall. So to convert to meters we must divide 555 by 3.28 or multiply it by 0.3048 (this is the method I used).
555 x 0.3048 = 169.164 meters

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum

skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.
