How does an insulator stop the flow of an electric current? Question 2 options: insulator keeps the electrons in the insulator f

rom moving very much. Insulators convert electric energy to other forms of energy. Insulators have too many electrons. Insulators have a positive charge so they absorb electrons.

Electrons in an insulator do not move readily. This is because insulators are objects whose internal electric charges do not flow freely. They impede the flow of electrons from one atom to another atom, thus restricting the flow of electricity. Insulators are electrically inactive and the are used to stop the flow of electric current.

When Marie sees the red traffic light, Marie brakes to a halt from a speed of 70 m/s in just 2 seconds. What is her deceleration
SashulF [63]

Answer:

-35 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Deceleration is the complete opposite of acceleration and is calculated by adding a negative sign to the formula for finding acceleration.</u>

Since acceleration is calculated by diving the change in velocity with time, deceleration will become:

 Deceleration =   -Δv/t, where Δv = change in velocity and t = time

In this case, Δv = 70 m/s and t = 2 s, hence;

Deceleration = -70/2 = -35 m/s^2

<em>The deceleration is 35 </em>m/s^2<em>.</em>

A ball is dropped from a boat so that it strikes the surface of a lake with a speed of 16.5 ft/s. While in the water, the ball e
denis23 [38]
The initial velocity is
v(0) = 16.5 ft/s

While in the water, the acceleration is
a(t) = 10 - 0.\frac{dv}{dt} =10-0.8v \\\\  \frac{dv}{10-0.8v}=dt \\\\ \int_{16.5}^{v} \,  \frac{dv}{10-0.8v}  = \int_{0}^{t} dt \\\\ - \frac{1}{0.8} [ln(10-0.8v)]_{16.5}^{v}=t \\\\ ln \frac{10-0.8v}{-3.2}=-0.8t \\\\  \frac{0.8v -10}{3.2}  =e^{-0.8t} \\\\ 0.8v = 10 + 3.2e^{-0.8t} \\\\ v=12.5+4e^{-0.08t}

The velocity function is
v(t)=12.5+4e^{-0.8t}
It satisfies the condition that v(0) = 16.5 ft/s.
When t = 5.7s, obtain
v(5.7)=12.5+4e^{-0.8\times5.7} = 12.54 \, ft/s

The depth of the lake is
d=\int_{0}^{5.7} \, (12.5+4e^{-0.8t})dt \\\\ = 12.5(5.7)+ \frac{4}{(-0.8)}[e^{-0.8t}]_{0}^{5.7} \\\\ =71.25-5(0.0105-1) =76.198 \, ft

Answer:
The velocity at the bottom of the lake is 12.5 ft/s
The depth of the lake is 76.2 ft

Which of the following best describes a substance in which the temperature remains constant while at the same time it is experie
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

Explanation:

Latent Heat: Latent heat is the heat required to change the state of a substance without change in temperature. Latent heat is also known as hidden heat because the heat is not visible. The unit is Joules (J).

Latent heat is divided into two:

⇒ Latent Heat of fusion

⇒ Latent Heat of vaporization.

Latent Heat of fusion: This is the heat  energy required to convert a substance from its solid form to its liquid form without change in temperature. E.g (Ice) When ice is heated, its temperature rise steadily until a certain temperature is reached when the solid begins to melts.

Latent Heat of vaporization: This is the heat required to change a liquid substance to vapor without a change in temperature. The latent heat depend on the mass of the liquid and the nature of the liquid. E.g When water is heated from a known temperature  its boiling point (100°C) When more heat is supplied to its boiling temperature, it continue to boil without a change in temperature.

From The above, Latent heat brings about  a change of state of a substance at a steady temperature.

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

(a) The acceleration of the salt shaker is 1.18 m/s².

(b) The distance traveled by the baseball player before coming to rest is 204.1 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the salt shaker</h3>

The acceleration of the salt shaker at the given coefficient of kinetic friction is determined as follows;

a = μg

a = 0.12 x 9.8

a = 1.18 m/s²

Acceleration of the baseball player is calculated as follows;

a = μg

a = 0.4 x 9.8

a = 3.92 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled by the baseball player</h3>

The distance traveled by the baseball player before coming to rest is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 40² - 2(3.92)s

0 = 1600 - 7.84s

7.84s = 1600

s = 204.1 m

The complete question is below:

A baseball player slides into third base with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is 0.40, how far does the player slide before coming to rest?
