5. Why are ceramics and plastics good insulators?

Physics
1 answer:
jeka57 [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Here

Explanation:

They don't have free electrons moving around (delocalised electrons) so they can't conduct heat and electricity which gives them a property of good insulators. The insulators stop us having an electric shock because they don't conduct electricity as we use them to insulate metal wires and other metallic things. can i have brainliest now pls!

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 7.0 nC. Using insulatin
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Block A will have a final charge of 3.5nC.

Explanation:

This is because at the point of contact with Block B, which is electrically positive, the electrons in Block A will be attracted to the excess 'unpaired' protons in block B. Hence, the electrons will flow into Block B causing unpaired protons to remain in Block A.

This process is called Charging by Conduction.

This charging process will continue until the charges are evenly distributed between both objects.

In case you're wondering, "<em>how's all this possible within a few seconds</em>?", remember that electrons travel very fast and so, this process is a rather rapid one.

An astronaut on the moon places a package on a scale and finds its weight to be 10. N. () What would the weight of the package
jeka94

Answer:

(a) 61.25 N

(b) 6.25 kg

(c) 6.25 Kg

Explanation:

Weight on moon = 10 N

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2

Let m be the mass of the package.

(a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth

Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N

(b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon

10 = m x 1.6

m = 6.25 kg

(c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.

A single loop of nickel wire, lying flat in a plane, has an area of 7.40 cm^2 and a resistance of 2.40 Ω. A uniform magnetic fie
ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of nickel wire, A=7.4\ cm^2=7.4\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of the wire, R = 2.4 ohms

Initial value of magnetic field, B_1=0.5\ T

Final magnetic field, B_2=3\ T

Time, t = 1.12 s

Let I is the induced current in the loop of wire over this time. Te emf induced in the wire is given by Faraday's law as :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}

\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}

\epsilon=-A\dfrac{B_2-B_1}{t}

\epsilon=-7.4\times 10^{-4}\times \dfrac{3-0.5}{1.12}

\epsilon=1.65\times 10^{-3}\ V

Induced current in the loop of wire is given by :

I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

I=\dfrac{1.65\times 10^{-3}}{2.4}

I=6.87\times 10^{-4}\ A

So, the induced current in the loop of wire over this time is 6.87\times 10^{-4}\ A. Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the acceleration of a student riding his bicycle in a straight line that speeds up from 4 m/s to 6 m/s in 5 seconds.
solong [7]
Acceleration is equal to velocity final minus velocity initial divided by time. 6m/s minus 4m/s divided by 5 seconds is 0.4m/s^2.
