Answer:

rubber and plastic are insulators and are bad conductors of electricity

Answer:

Rubber or plastic covers are bad conductors of electricity. So they do not allow the electric current to pass through it.

Explanation:

Rubber and plastic are bad conductors of electricity, therefore when handling a tool with a rubber handle, the electricity will not pass through it.

Which sentence provides evidence that heat travels from Earth’s mantle up to its crust?
olasank [31]

B. Earth’s outer surface is cooler than its interior layers.

Explanation:

  • The option given above is showing us that the temperature in the interior of the earth is higher than the temperature in the outer layer.
  • There is travel of heat from the inner core of the earth to the earth's crust. Due to the loss of heat when it reaches the outer layer, there arises a temperature difference.
  • The heat loss is due to the absorption of heat during its transfer. Hence, option B is the answer.

Transverse waves are sent along a 4.50 m long string with a speed of 85.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 20.00 N. What i
frutty [35]

Answer:

m = 0.0125 kg

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula for the speed of a wave on a string that is under tension:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu} }

where F = tension force

μ = mass per unit length

Mass per unit length is given as:

μ  = m / l

where m = mass of the string

l = length of the string

This implies that:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/l} }\\ \\v = \sqrt{\frac{F * l}{m} }

Let us make mass, m, the subject of the formula:

v^2 = \frac{F * l}{m}\\\\m = \frac{F * l}{v^2}

From the question:

F = 20 N

l = 4.50 m

v = 85 m/s

Therefore:

m = \frac{20 * 4.5}{85^2}\\\\m = \frac{90}{7225}\\ \\m = 0.0125 kg

The Cosmoclock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama City, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 60

= .10467 rad / s

linear velocity v = ω R

=  .10467 x 50

= 5.23 m / s

centripetal force = m v² / R

= mg v² / gR

= 834 x 5.23² / 9.8 x 50

= 46.55 N

B )

apparent weight

= mg - centripetal force

= 834 - 46.55

= 787.45 N

C ) apparent weight

= mg + centripetal force

= 834 + 46.55

= 880.55 N.

D )

For apparent weight to be zero

centripetal force = mg

mg = mv² / R

v² = gR

= 9.8 x 50

= 490

v = 22.13 m /s

time period of revolution

= 2π R /v

2 x 3.14 x 50 / 22.13

= 14.19 s

1. Plot the following graphs:
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

(a) The distance-time graph for an object with uniform speed is giving by a straight line sloped graph with a constant positive or negative gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(b) The distance-time graph for an object with non-uniform speed is giving by a curved line sloped graph with varying gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(c) The velocity-time graph for a car with uniform motion is giving by a horizontal line graph at the speed of constant motion with a zero gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(d) The velocity-time graph for a car moving with uniform acceleration is giving by a straight line sloped graph with a constant positive or negative gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(e) The velocity-time graph for a car moving with non-uniform acceleration is giving by a curved line sloped graph with varying gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(f) According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest with no motion unless acted by a force, an therefore, will have no motion with time
