What are the difference between conductor and insulator? ​

Physics
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
  • Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
  • Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
  • Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
  • Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.

A crate lies on a plane tilted at an angle θ = 22.5 ∘ to the horizontal, with μk = 0.19.
ValentinkaMS [17]

A) 2.03 m/s^2

Let's start by writing the equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the incline:

Parallel:

mg sin \theta - \mu_k R = ma (1)

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity

\theta=22.5^{\circ}

\mu_k = 0.19 is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

a is the acceleration

Perpendicular:

R-mg cos \theta =0 (2)

From (2) we find

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta = ma

Solving for a,

a=g sin \theta - \mu_k g cos \theta = (9.8)(sin 22.5)-(0.19)(9.8)(cos 22.5)=2.03 m/s^2

B) 5.94 m/s

We can solve this part by using the suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Here we have

v = ?

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=2.03 m/s^2

s = 8.70 m

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(2.03)(8.70)}=5.94 m/s

A penny has a mass of 2.50 g, a diameter of 19.55 mm, and a thickness of 1.55 mm. Calculate the density of the material from whi
Dmitry [639]
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)

We know the mass (2.5 g).  We need to find the volume.

The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.

Volume  =  (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (148.1 mm³)

             =        465.3 mm³

We know the volume now.  So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have.  Here it is:

         mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³  =  0.0054 g/mm³  .

Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.

                         (0.0054  g/mm³)  x  (10 mm / cm)³

                 =      (0.0054 x 1,000)  g/cm³

                 =          5.37  g/cm³  .

This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.

Two asteroids in outer space collide, and stick together. The mass of each asteroid, and the velocity of each asteroid before th
Naddik [55]

Answer: (2) Use the Momentum Principle.

Explanation:

In fact, it is called the <u>Conservation of linear momentum principle,</u> which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} of the asteroids before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision, no matter if the collision was elastic or inelastic (in which the kinetic energy is not conserved).

In this sense, the linear momentum p of a body is defined as:

p=mV

Where m is the mass and V the velocity.

Therefore, the useful approach in this situation is<u> option (2)</u>.
