Answer: c) they don’t have free electrons.

Explanation:  Wood, plastic, rubber, and air are good insulators because, obviously, they are bad conductors.

This is because the do not have a lot of free electrons, so when you apply an electric field, the total flow of electrons (or electricity) is almost zero.

In the same case, when charges try to flow into these materials (by connecting a wire to a piece of wood or something like that), there are no free electrons inside of the material, so the electrons that try to move inside the material see a lot more of obstacles against their movement.

Then the correct option is option c: they don’t have free electrons.

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?
Fed [463]

To explain how transverse and longitudinal waves work, let us give two examples for each particular case.

In the case of transverse waves, the displacement of the medium is PERPENDICULAR to the direction of the wave. One way to visualize this effect is when you have a rope and between two people the rope is shaken horizontally. The shift is done from top to bottom. This phenomenon is common to see it in solids but rarely in liquids and gases. A common application usually occurs in electromagnetic radiation.

On the other hand in the longitudinal waves the displacement of the medium is PARALLEL to the direction of propagation of the wave. A clear example of this phenomenon is when a Slinky is pushed along a table where each of the rings will also move. From practice, sound waves enclose the definition of longitudinal wave displacement.

Therefore the correct answer is:

C. In transverse waves the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, while in longitudinal waves the displacement is parallel to the direction of propagation.

A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente
inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Where, m is the mass of the ball, v is the speed and r is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}

and, v^2 = 13.16

Thus, v = 3.63 m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = \frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}} = \frac{12.56}{3.63} = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.
