Explanation:

Insulator: An object that does not conduct the electricity. Its conductivity is very low. It is also known as the poor conductor of electricity.  For example, wood, rubber etc.

Conductor: An object that conducts the electricity. Its conductivity is very high. It is also known as the good conductor of electricity. For example, aluminium, copper etc.

Semiconductor: An object that's conductivity lies between the insulator and conductor. Its conductivity is moderate. For example, silicon and germanium.

if a 5-kg bowling ball is projected upward witha velocity of 2.0 m/s, then what is the recoil velocity of the Earth(mass=6.0×10^
vitfil [10]

by the concept of momentum conservation we can say

if net force on a system of mass is ZERO then its momentum will remain conserved

Here a ball is projected upwards so if we take Ball + Earth as a system then total momentum of the system will remain conserved

Initially when ball is on the surface of earth the system has zero momentum and hence we can say after throwing the ball momentum of earth + ball must be zero

now using same equation we can say

P_{ball} + P_{earth} = 0

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2= 0

given that

m_1 = 5 kg

v_1 = 2 m/s

m_2 = 6 * 10^{24} kg

from above equation velocity of earth will be

v_2 = \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_2}

v_2 = \frac{5*2}{6 * 10^{24}}

v_2 = 1.67 * 10^{-24} m/s

so above will be the recoil speed of earth

a basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s What is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release poi
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.275 m

Explanation:

Let the maximum height reached be h.

Here initial velocity, u = 5 m/s

Final velocity, V = 0

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

0 = 25 - 2 × 9.8 × h

h = 25/19.6 = 1.275 m
