Which is the best insulator? metal, glass, plastic, or Styrofoam?

Answer:

Styrofoam would be the best insulator because it traps the air in small pockets, blocking the flow of heat energy.

Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved
ipn [44]

Answer:

1. Elastic collision

2. Inelastic collision    

Explanation:

Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision

the collision is described by the equation bellow

m1U1+ m2U2= m1V1+m2V2

Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity

the collision is described by the equation bellow

m1U1+ m2U2= V(m1+m2)

Three charges lie along the x axis. The positive charge q1 = 15 μC is at x= 2.0 m and the positive charge q2 = 6.0μC is at the o
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x = 0.775m

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

In the attached figure we see the locations of the charges. We place the charge q₃ at a distance x from the origin. The forces F₂₃ and F₁₃ are attractive forces because the charges have an opposite sign, and these forces must be equal so that the net force on the charge q₃ is zero.

We apply Coulomb's law to calculate the electrical forces on q₃:

F_{23} = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_{3}}{x^2} (Electric force of q₂ over q₃)

F_{13} = \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3}}{(2-x)^2} (Electric force of q₁ over q₃)

Known data

q₁ = 15 μC = 15*10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = 6 μC = 6*10⁻⁶ C

Problem development

F₂₃ = F₁₃

\frac{k*q_{2}*q_{3}}{x^2} = \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3}}{(2-x)^2} (We cancel k and q₃)

\frac{q_2}{x^2}=\frac{q_1}{(2-x)^2}

q₂(2-x)² = q₁x²

6×10⁻⁶(2-x)² = 15×10⁻⁶(x)² (We cancel 10⁻⁶)

6(2-x)² = 15(x)²

6(4-4x+x²) = 15x²

24 - 24x + 6x² = 15x²

9x² + 24x - 24 = 0

The solution of the quadratic equation is:

x₁ = 0.775m

x₂ = -3.44m

x₁ meets the conditions for the forces to cancel in q₃

x₂ does not meet the conditions because the forces would remain in the same direction and would not cancel

The negative charge q₃ must be placed on x = 0.775 so that the net force is equal to zero.

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m
