Vectors are quantities described by a number and a direction, thus giving them a line value. these include acceleration, velocity and weight
Scalar quantities only have a magnitude and include things like volume, distance and temperature. Because density uses volume and mass, it is considered a scalar.

Given the resistivities below, which material is best described as an insulator?
koban [17]

Answer: D) 3.2 × 10^8

Explanation: Insulators are best described as materials which are poor conductors of electricity and hence do not allow passage of electricity through them. Resistivity are hence used to describe property or characteristic of a material which does not allow the flow or passage of electric current.

In summary, materials which high resistivity values are referred to as Insulators. Conversely, those with low resistivity or high conductivity values are called conductors while those with intermediate values are named semiconductors.

In the question given above, the material with a resistivity value of 3.2 × 10^8 - - - has a very high resistivity value (320000000Ω), the other options given have very low resistivity values ; 0.0000000017, etc and are most likely to be conductors due to their excessively low resistivity values.

How much time does it take for a spinning baseball with an angular speed of 38 rad/s to rotate through 15 degrees
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

the time of motion of the ball is 6.89 ms.

Explanation:

Given;

angular speed, ω = 38 rad/s

angular distance, θ = 15 degrees

Angular distance in radian;

\theta = 15^0 \times\frac{2\pi \ rad}{360^0} = 0.2618 \ rad

Time of motion is calculated as;

time = \frac{angular \ distance}{angular \ speed} \\\\t= \frac{\theta}{\omega} = \frac{0.2618 \ rad}{38 \ rad/s} \\\\t = 6.89 \ \times 10^{-3} \ s\\\\t = 6.89 \ ms

Therefore, the time of motion of the ball is 6.89 ms.

A book with mass 2.3 kg sits on a table. What is the normal force on the
natita [175]

Explanation:

The table is level and there are no other forces on the book, so the normal force is equal to the weight.

N = mg

N = (2.3 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

N = 22.5 N

a 2-kg object is dropped from a height of 1000 m. What is the force of air resistance on the object when it reaches terminal vel
strojnjashka [21]
It stops accelerating when the air resistance is equal to its weight.
That's (m•g)

= (2 kg) • (9.8 m/s^2)

= 19.6 newtons
