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.

10. According to Newton's First Lawy , if a box is pushed with no external resistance, what will the action of the box be ?

kati45 [8]

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.

A basketball leaves a player's hands at a height of 2.00 m above the floor. The basket is 3.05 m above the floor. The player lik

shutvik [7]

Answer:(10.69, 11.436)

Explanation:

Given

initial height of ball is 2 m

height of basket is 3.05 m

Launching angle $=40^{\circ}$

$x =12\pm 0.27$

y=1.05

equation of trajectory of ball is given by

$y=xtan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta }$

for x=12.27

$1.05=12.27\times tan40-\frac{g12.27^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=10.69

for x=11.73

$1.05=11.73\times tan40-\frac{g11.73^2}{2u^2cos^{2}40 }$

u=11.436 m/s

Thus range of speed is (10.69, 11.436)

You are on a boat which is crossing the prime meridian. the altitude of polaris is 50Âº.explain how you know the boat's location

Lerok [7]

The definition for the prime meridian is: The prime meridian with 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich. Polaris is the north star <span>at 50 degrees above the horizon, which means 50 degrees latitude.
</span>If you observe Polaris at 50 degrees of altitude, you are at latitude 50 North. You that's why you know that your boat's location is <span>50Âº north latitude and 0Âº longitude.</span>
