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!

Y=mx+b if y=8.18 m=1.31 b=17.2 then find x
Dafna1 [17]

Plug in the corresponding values into y = mx + b

8.18 in for y

1.31 in for m

17.2 in for b

8.18 = 1.31x + 17.2

Now bring 17.2 to the left side by subtracting 17.2 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 17.2 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

8.18 - 17.2 = 1.31x

-9.02 = 1.31x

Then divide 1.31 to both sides to isolate x. Since 1.31 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 1.31 out (in this case it will make 1.31 one) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

-9.02/1.31 = 1.31x/1.31

x ≈ -6.8855

x is roughly -6.89

Hope this helped!

German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position (Δx) to the uncertainty in its velocity (Δ???
fredd [130]

Answer:

\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m

Explanation:

As we know by the principle of uncertainty that the product of uncertainty in position and uncertainty in momentum is given as

\Delta x \times \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}

so here we know that

\Delta v = 0.01 \times 10^6 m/s

m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

so we have

\Delta x \times (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(0.01 \times 10^6) = \frac{6.26 \times 10^{-34}}{4\pi}

\Delta x = 5.47 \times 10^{-9} m

Define and describe the following terms: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, tension.
maw [93]

Answer:

Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second

Period—time it takes for one wave cycle to complete

wavelength λ - the distance between adjacent identical parts of a wave, parallel to the direction of propagation.

Tension - described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object

PolarNik [594]

Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The  largest total area of the oil slick  A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The volume of oil the escaped is  V  = 18000 \ L

    The refractive index of oil is n_o = 1.1

     The refractive index of water is n_w = 1.33

      The wavelength of the light  is \lambda = 485 \ nm =  485 * 10^{-9} \ m

         

Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

          d = m *\frac{\lambda}{2n_w}

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n

It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question

substituting value

      d = 1 * \frac{485 *10^{-9}}{2 * 1.1}    

      d = 218 nm    

The are can be mathematically evaluated as

        A = \frac{V}{d}

Substituting values

        A = \frac{18000}{218*10^{-8}}

        A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

Two capacitors have the same size of plates and the same distance 4 mm between the plates The potentials of the two plates in ca
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

    E = -4000 N / C

Explanation:

The potential and electric field are related

         V = - E s

          E = - V / s

we reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          s = 4 mm (1 m / 1000 mm) = 0.004 m

we calculate

          E = - 16 /0.004

          E = -4000 N / C
