Answer:

A. Air

Explanation:

A thermal insulator is a material that does not let the heat trasmitting through it, or it transmits heat not very efficiently.

Generally, the lower the density of the material, the better insulator the material is: this is because in materials with very low density, particles are very spread apart, so they cannot collide with each other, and so the vibrations of the particles (which determine how hot a substance is) cannot be transmitted very efficiently.

In the options listed in this problem, air is the material with lowest density, therefore it is the best thermal insulator among them.

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s. How far will the ball go before hit
tia_tia [17]

The distance travelled by the ball that is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s is 5.34 m

s = ut + 1 / 2 at²

s = Distance

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

Vertically,

s = 15.4 m

u = 0

a = 9.8 m / s²

15.4 = 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 9.8 * t² )

t² = 3.14

t = 1.77 s

Horizontally,

u = 3.01 m / s

a = 0 ( Since there is no external force )

s = ( 3.01 * 1.77 ) + 0

s = 5.34 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground is 5.34 m

When three identical bulbs of 60W,200V rating are connected in series at a 200V supply the power drawn by them will be?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]

.A particle starts on the origin. It is pushed back to -5.7 m in 2.1 s. Then it is pushed
harina [27]

Answer: The average velocity is -0.965m/s

Explanation: The first step is to calculate the two velocities is both directions. A velocity is a distance per unit time.

V=d/ t

=-5.7/2.1

=-2.7m/s

For the other direction the velocity is

V=7.3/9.5

=0.77m/s

The average velocity the add the velocities and divide them by 2.

V=-2.7+0.77/2

V= 0.965m/s

On a drive from one city to? another, victor averaged 39 mph. if he had been able to average 72 ?mph, he would have reached his
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Let the unknown distance be xmiles
x/39-x/72=11hr
72x-39x/2808=11hr
33x/2808=11
33x= 30888
x=936miles
U can substitue back to check
at speed of 72mph, he would need 936/72=13hrs
at speed of 39mph, he would need 936/39=24hr
the difference is 24-13=11
