Why are conductors and insulators both required to construct the electrical wiring in our home

Physics
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
8 0
Conductors are materials with many free electrons, so they allow electrical current to flow through them. Therefore, conductors are required in order to bring electricity to every room of the house.

Insulators, instead, are materials with few or no free electrons, so electrical currents do not flow through them. In the electrical wiring of the houses, they are used in order to isolate the conductive elements of the wire from other conductive materials (in fact, if the conductive elements touch other conductive elements of the house, part of the current would be dissipated)

A halfback on an apparent breakaway for a touchdown is tackled from behind. If the halfback has a mass of 98 kg and was moving a
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle is 4.80 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of halfback = 98 kg

Speed of halfback= 4.2 m/s

Mass of corner back = 85 kg

Speed of corner back = 5.5 m/s

We need to calculate their mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle

Using conservation of momentum

m_{h}v_{h}+m_{c}v_{c}=m_{h+c}v_{h+c}

Where, m_{h}= mass of halfback

m_{c}=mass of corner back

v_{h}= velocity of halfback

v_{c}= velocity of corner back

Put the value into the formula

98\times4.2+85\times5.5=(98+85)\times v

v=\dfrac{98\times4.2+85\times5.5}{98+85}

v=4.80\ m/s

Hence, The mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle is 4.80 m/s
