Why are insulators important?

Physics

Answer:

An insulator opposes the flow of electricity. Insulators are important to keep us safe from electricity. The wire that carries electricity to your computer or television is covered with a rubber-like insulator that protects you from getting electrocuted. Good insulators include glass, the air, and paper.

A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl
Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

A small airplane takes on 302 l of fuel. If the density of the fuel is 0.821 g/ml, what mass of fuel has the airplane taken on?
ella [17]

To calculate the mass of the fuel, we use the formula

m = V \times  \rho

Here, m is the mass of fuel, V is the volume of the fuel and its value is V =302 \ L =  302 \ L \times \frac{10^{3}m L }{L} = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL and  \rho is the density and its value of  0.821 g/mL.

Substituting these values in above relation, we get  

m = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL \times 0.821 g/mL = 247942 g \\\\ m = 247. 94 \ kg

Thus, the mass of the fuel 247 .94 kg.

How can I answer question 19? please help me, I need the answer now
Crank
The spring starts out 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it.

Hanging 35 newtons of weight on it stretches the spring 1 meter.

Ellen is going to hang 250 grams of mass on the spring.
What's the weight of 250 grams of mass ?

   Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity in the place where the mass is) .

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
250 grams is 0.25 of a kilogram.

Weight of 250 grams  =  (0.25 kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²)

                                 =    (0.25 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                                 =        2.45 newtons .

2.45 newtons of weight is  (2.45 / 35) of 35 newtons,
so it'll stretch the spring  (2.45 / 35) of a meter.

   2.45/35 = 0.07 of a meter  =  7 centimeters.

The spring was 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it,
and the 250-gm weight stretched it 7 cm.
So with the weight hanging on it, it's (22 + 7) = 29 cm long.

A 140 kg load is attached to a crane, which moves the load vertically. Calculate the tension in the
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

A.) 1372 N

B.) 1316 N

C.) 1428 N

Explanation:

Given that a 140 kg load is attached to a crane, which moves the load vertically. Calculate the tension in the cable for the following cases:

a. The load moves downward at a constant velocity

At constant velocity, acceleration = 0

T - mg = ma

T - mg = 0

T = mg

T = 140 × 9.8

T = 1372N

b. The load accelerates downward at a rate 0.4 m/s??

Mg - T = ma

140 × 9.8 - T = 140 × 0.4

1372 - T = 56

-T = 56 - 1372

- T = - 1316

T = 1316N

C. The load accelerates upward at a rate 0.4 m/s??

T - mg = ma

T - 140 × 9.8 = 140 × 0.4

T - 1372 = 56

T = 56 + 1372

T = 1428N
