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

1 answer:

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)

In a novel from 1866 the author describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon with a speed of about 11.000 m/s. The spac

Answer:

$a=0.284\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the spaceship was at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the spaceship, v = 11 m/s

Distance accelerated by the spaceship, d = 213 m

We need to find the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch. It is a concept based on the equation of kinematics. Using the third equation of motion to find acceleration.

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(11)^2-(0)^2}{2\times 213}\\\\a=0.284\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship is $0.284\ m/s^2$ .

A wheel decelerates from 13.5 rad s−1 to 6.0 rad s−1 in 7 s. Calculate the angular displacement

Igoryamba

Answer:

<em>Angular displacement=68.25 rad</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

If the angular speed varies from ωo to ωf in a time t, then the angular acceleration is given by:

$\displaystyle \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_o}{t}$

The angular displacement is given by:

$\displaystyle \theta=\omega_o.t+\frac{\alpha.t^2}{2}$

The wheel decelerates from ωo=13.5 rad/s to ωf=6 rad/s in t=7 s, thus:

$\displaystyle \alpha=\frac{6-13.5}{7}$

$\displaystyle \alpha=\frac{-7.5}{7}$

$\displaystyle \alpha=-1.071 \ rad/s^2$

Thus, the angular displacement is:

$\displaystyle \theta=13.5*7+\frac{-1.071*7^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle \theta=94.5-26.25$

$\boxed{\displaystyle \theta=68.25\ rad}$

Angular displacement=68.25 rad

What direction does centripetal acceleration point?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)
