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.

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) E=mgh

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) \phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})

Which of the following is responsible for the overall integration of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

D. hypothalamus

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a component of the peripheral nervous system that is in charge of the involuntary functions, this means it regulates the flight-or-fight response, heart and respiratory rate, sexual arousal, urination, etc.<em> The hypothalamus is the integrator of these functions, it receives the information from the nervous system and responds to it.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
