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 constant-volume perfect gas thermometer indicates a pressure of 6.69 kPa at the triple point temperature of water (273.16 K).

mina [271]

Answer:

(a) ΔP=0.0245 kPa

(b) P=9.14 kPa

(c)ΔP=0.0245 kPa

Explanation:

(a) As it is perfect gas we can use

(P₁V₁)/T₁=(P₂V₂)/T₂

Since this constant volume so

P₁/T₁=P₂/T₂

T₂ is change in temperature

T₂=1.00+273.16

T₂=274.16 K

$P_{2}=(\frac{6.69}{273.16} )*274.16\\P_{2}=6.71449 kPa$

ΔP=6.71449-6.69

ΔP=0.0245 kPa

(b) As

$P_{2}=(\frac{6.69}{273.16} )*373.16\\P_{2}=9.14 kPa$

(c) Same steps as in part (a)

$P_{2}=(\frac{9.14}{373.16} )*374.16\\P_{2}=9.164kPa$

ΔP=9.164-9.14

ΔP=0.0245kPa

A spring with spring constant 31 N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.5-cm-diameter, 1.5 kg metal cylinder is attached to its

aalyn [17]

Answer:

0.315758099469 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of cylinder = 1.5 kg

$\rho$ = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V = Volume = Ah

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

k = Spring constant = 31 N/m

x = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Here the forces are conserved

Weight of cylinder = Buoyant force + Spring force

$mg=\rho Vg+kx\\\Rightarrow mg=\rho Ahg+kx\\\Rightarrow 1.5\times 9.81=1000\times \pi(2.25\times 10^{-2})^2x\times 9.81+31x\\\Rightarrow 1.5\times 9.81=46.60213x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.5\times 9.81}{46.60213}\\\Rightarrow x=0.315758099469\ m$

The length of the submerged cylinder is 0.315758099469 m

A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15000 rpm in 330 s . Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?

eduard

Answer:

The number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is 8250 revolutions.

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolution per minutes, ω = 15000 rpm

time of motion, t = 330 s = 5.5 minutes

The number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is given by;

$N = \frac{1500 \ Rev}{minutes} *5.5 \ minutes\\\\N = 8250 \ revolutions$

Therefore, the number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is 8250 revolutions.
