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.

The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H  (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 7.00×10−10 m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

mass of proton, m_p = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron, m_e = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2}

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9*10^9)(1.602*10^{-19})(1.602*10^{-19})}{(7*10^{-10})^2} \\\\F = 4.714 *10^{-10} \ N

Acceleration of proton is given by;

F = ma

F = m_pa_p\\\\a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}\\\\a_p = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a_p = 2.823 *10^{17} \ m/s^2

Acceleration of the electron is given by;

F = m_ea_e\\\\a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{9.11*10^{-31}}\\\\a_e = 5.175 *10^{20} \ m/s^2
