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.

Answer: D meteoroid

Explanation:

Meteoroid is the smallest among them. It is a tiny asteroid or the broken-off crumb of comets and sometimes planets. It ranges in size from a grain of sand to boulders 3 feet (1 meter) wide. When meteoroids collide with a planet's atmosphere, they become meteors. If those meteors survive the atmosphere and hit the planet's surface, their remains are called meteorites

An object has a horizontal velocity component of 6 m/s and a vertical velocity component of 4 m/s.

taurus [48]

For the object that has a horizontal velocity component of 6 m/s and a vertical velocity component of 4 m/s we have:

1. The velocity of the object is 7.21 m/s.

2. The angle it makes with the horizontal is 33.7°.

1. The velocity of the object can be found as follows:

$v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y}^{2}}$
