Leona [35]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: conductors are substances that allow heat or electricity to pass through . It deals with only the flow of electrons.

Eg. water, copper wire, iron rod, some ceramic materials, metallic nail.

Insulators are materials that do not allow heat or electricity to pass through.

Eg. Book, plastic, rubber, glass, paper

The six statements below represent Newton's three laws of motion and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Match each stateme
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton

2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out  equal areas in equal times - Kepler

3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton .

4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton

5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus  - Kepler.

6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.

Explanation:

The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

  1. The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
  3. The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.

The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:

  1. The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
  2. The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
  3. The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately.  Which  means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.  

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:

<h2>The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that <u>we </u><u>can see</u></h2>

Extreme-sports enthusiasts have been known to jump off the top of El Capitan, a sheer granite cliff of height 910 m in Yosemite
german

Answer:

The jumper is in freefall for 12.447 seconds.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating how far the jumper falls.

Initial height (on cliff) = 910 m

Final height after freefall = 150 m

Distance the jumper falls in freefall = 910 - 150 = 760 m

We can now use the equation of motion below to solve for the time:

s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

here. acceleration = 9.81 m/s   (due to gravity)

initial speed (u) = 0 m/s    (because vertical speed is 0 at the start)

and distance (s) = 760 meters (as calculated above)

So for speed we get:

760=0*t+0.5(9.81*t^2)

760=4.905t^2

t = 12.447 seconds
