Define conductor and insulator, including how the resistance is different in the two, and give at least one example of each.

Physics
1 answer:
Ratling [72]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Those substances which can conduct electricity are called conductors, while those substances which don't conduct electricity are called insulators.

Resistance is the obstruction provided by the material through which the current passes,so since conductors conduct electricity and insulators don't,so the obstruction i.e resistance provided by the conductor must be less,while insulators being unable to conduct electricity,has very high resistance.

Example of conductor is copper

Example of insulator is plastic

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the
salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}

=42 mph

On return trip

=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph

1) Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.
Anton [14]

Answer:

The order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given:

Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.

From the formula of energy in terms of frequency.

  E = hf

Where h = planck constant, f = frequency of light.

From above formula we can conclude that higher frequency means higher energy.

In our case ultraviolet has higher frequency and microwave has lower frequency.

So ultraviolet has higher energy and microwave has lower energy.

microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet

Therefore, the order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

A force of 10N is required to stretch a spring from 20cm to 25cm. What is the spring constant in N/m2 Be careful of unit
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m
