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 stone is dropped from the
ICE Princess25 [194]
  • Height=h=500m
  • Acceleration=g=10m/s^2
  • Initial velocity=u=0
  • Speed of sound=c=340m/s
  • TIME TAKEN BY STONE TO HIT WATER=t
  • Time taken by sound to hear back=T

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto h=0t+\dfrac{1}{2}10t^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 500=5t^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto t^2=100

\\ \sf\longmapsto t=10s

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto h=cT

\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{h}{c}

\\ \sf\longmapsto T=\dfrac{500}{340}

\\ \sf\longmapsto T=1.47\approx 1.5s

Total time:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto T_{net}=t+T=10+1.5=11.5s

What occurs when the pitch increases and the sound source is in motion? explain your answer.
Hoochie [10]
If you're listening to a sound that has a steady pitch, and suddenly the
pitch goes up, then you know that two things could have happened:

EITHER ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
raised the pitch of the sound being produced.

OR ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
started moving toward you.

OR ...

-- both.

Even if the pitch of the sound leaving the source doesn't change,
you would still hear it increase if the source starts moving toward
you.  That's the so-called "Doppler effect".
