Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An insulator is a substance which causes high resistance to the flow of free electrons. This means that an insulator does not allow the flow of electrons or electric charges through it.

For example, rubber, plastics, and styrofoam etc are all insulators.

On the other hand, a conductor is defined as a substance through which an electric current is able to flow freely without causing any resistance due to the availability of free electrons.

For example, silver, copper, gold etc are all good conductors of electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that an insulator stop the flow of an electric current because insulators do not allow electrons to move easily through them.

___ acceleration occurs when an object speeds up
AleksandrR [38]

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

When there is an increment or increase in the magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as positive acceleration.

Whereas when there is a decrease in magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as negative acceleration.

Thus, we can conclude that positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up.

What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?
marta [7]
 <span>You can start with the equations you know 

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2 

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km 
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds 
Latitude = 44.4 degrees 

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r. 

r=Rcos(44.4) 
r=6378.1cos(44.4) 
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m 

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above... 

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9 
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>

A rescue airplane is diving at an angle of 37º below the horizontal with a speed of 250 m/s. It releases a survival package when
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is 1.  720 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

When an object is launched in free air (no friction) with an initial speed vo at an angle \theta, it describes a curve which has two components: one in the horizontal direction and the other in the vertical direction. The data provided gives us the initial conditions of the survival package's launch.

\displaystyle V_o=250\ m/s

\displaystyle \theta =-37^o

The initial velocity has these components in the x and y coordinates respectively:

\displaystyle V_{ox}=250\ cos(-37^o)=199.7\ m/s

\displaystyle V_{oy}=250\ sin(-37^o)=-150.5\ m/s

And we know the plane has an altitude of 600 m, so the package will reach ground level when:

\displaystyle y=-600\ m

The vertical distance traveled is given by:

\displaystyle y=V_{oy}\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=-600

We'll set up an equation to find the time when the package lands

\displaystyle -150.5t-4.9\ t^2=-600

\displaystyle -4.9\ t^2-150.5\ t+600=0

Solving for t, we find only one positive solution:

\displaystyle t=3.6\ sec

The horizontal distance is:

\displaystyle x=V_{ox}.t=199.7\times3.6=720\ m

The correct option is 1.  720 m
