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.

Elza [17]

Answer:

Identify the object to be analyzed. For some systems in equilibrium, it may be necessary to consider more than one object. Identify all forces acting on the object. Identify the questions you need to answer. Identify the information given in the problem. In realistic problems, some key information may be implicit in the situation rather than provided explicitly.

A student measures the volume of a gas sample at several different temperatures. The results are tabulated as follows:Temperatur
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

<u><em /></u>

  • <u><em>a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume</em></u>
  • <u><em>b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.</em></u>

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K)     Volume of gas (L)

     298                                     4.55

     315                                      4.81

     325                                     4.96

     335                                        ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

  • 298 / 4.55 = 65.5
  • 315 / 4.81 = 65.5
  • 325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a <u><em>constant temperature-to-volume ratio</em></u>, which may be expressed in a formula as:

  • Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

  • The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and
  • The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).
