Answer:

  1. Fibreglass - Insulator
  2. piece of paper - Insulator
  3. copper - Conductor
  4. Stone - Insulator
  5. Aluminium - Conductor
  6. plastic spoon - Insulator
  7. Iron - Conductor
  8. Wood - Insulator
  9. Ruler - Conductor/Insulator
  10. Plastic straw - Insulator
  11. Glass - Insulator
  12. Brass - Conductor
  13. Gold - Conductor
  14. Cotton bud - Insulator
  15. Silver - Conductor

Explanation:

Conductors are substances that can conduct electricity/heat. Usually, metals are good conductors as they have free electrons — electrons that are loosely held by the nucleus and are free to travel across the surface<em>(they stay on the surface and are not free to <u>escape</u><u> </u><u>into the</u><u> </u><u>surrounding</u><u> </u></em><em><u>space</u></em><em>)</em><em>.</em>

These free electrons help in the conduction of heat/electricity. Hence, substances containing these free particles are conductors.

Insulators do not allow heat/electricity to flow through them. Mostly, they are made up of molecules that are held together by strong intermolecular forces<em>(eg: Plastic )</em>.

[Note#9: Metal rulers are conductors whereas wooden rulers are insulators so, "ruler" comes under the category of both insulator as well as conductor].

The group number of on the periodic table corresponds to which characteristics of the elements of that group ?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier published a list of 33 chemical elements. Although Lavoisier grouped the elements into gases, metals, non-metals, and earths, chemists spent the following century searching for a more precise classification scheme. In 1829, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner observed that many of the elements could be grouped into triads (groups of three) based on their chemical properties. Lithium, sodium, and potassium, for example, were grouped together as being soft, reactive metals. Döbereiner also observed that, when arranged by atomic weight, the second member of each triad was roughly the average of the first and the third.[19] This became known as the Law of Triads.[20] German chemist Leopold Gmelin worked with this system, and by 1843 he had identified ten triads, three groups of four, and one group of five. Jean Baptiste Dumas published work in 1857 describing relationships between various groups of metals. Although various chemists were able to identify relationships between small groups of elements, they had yet to build one scheme that encompassed them all.[19]

A spring hangs from the ceiling with an unstretched length of x 0 = 0.35 m . A m 1 = 6.3 kg block is hung from the spring, causi
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

x₂=0.44m

Explanation:

First, we calculate the length the spring is stretch when the first block is hung from it:

\Delta x_1=0.50m-0.35m=0.15m

Now, since the stretched spring is in equilibrium, we have that the spring restoring force must be equal to the weight of the block:

k\Delta x_1=m_1g

Solving for the spring constant k, we get:

k=\frac{m_1g}{\Delta x_1}\\\\k=\frac{(6.3kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{0.15m}=410\frac{N}{m}

Next, we use the same relationship, but for the second block, to find the value of the stretched length:

k\Delta x_2=m_2g\\\\\Delta x_2=\frac{m_2g}{k}\\\\\implies \Delta x_2=\frac{(3.7kg)(9.8m/s^{2})}{410N/m}=0.088m

Finally, we sum this to the unstretched length to obtain the length of the spring:

x_2=0.35m+0.088m=0.44m

In words, the length of the spring when the second block is hung from it, is 0.44m.
