Does a good insulator prevent energy from getting through it, or slow its passage

1 answer:

8 0

A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.

A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.

The mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg . A 11 kg bowling ball initially at rest is dropped from a height of 2.63 m. The acceler

jekas [21]

Answer:

v = 7.18_m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of the earth towards the ball is = velocity of the ball moving towards earth

For object in free fall, we have

Where

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

S = height of ball above ground

v^2 = u^2 - 2×g×(-S)

= 0 + 2×9.8×2.63 = 51.55_m^2/s^2

Velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is

v = 7.18_m/s

PLEASE HELP

Anvisha [2.4K]

The speed of the rock at 20 m is 34.3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the rock, sum of its potential energy + its kinetic energy) must be conserved in absence of air resistance. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where :

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy

$U_f$ is the final potential energy

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy

The equation can also be rewritten as follows:

$mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where:

m = 100 kg is the mass of the rock

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 80$ is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial speed (the rock starts at rest)

$h_f = 20 m$ is the final height of the rock

v is the final speed when h = 20 m

And solving for v, we find:

$v=\sqrt{2g(h_i-h_f)}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(80-20)}=34.3 m/s$

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTSexplain properties and importance of light and how it separates into colors

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

It is not a property of light. It is your eyes and brain.

Specifically, the three kinds of cone cells in our eye that are sensitive to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The fact that there are three means that color is three dimensional, and is the reason the pure colors form a circle even though the spectrum of wavelengths is linear.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths are distinguished as colors by the human eye. A prism can separate the colors of white light (dispersion) because different frequencies of light have different refractive indices for a given material.

What fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? water at 37°c has

mart [117]

The fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant when water at 37°c has a latent heat of vaporization of lv = 580 kcal/kg is 2.58 times 10 to the minus 3.

Vaporization is the process by which a substance is transformed from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state. Boiling is the term for the vaporization process when conditions permit the creation of vapour bubbles within a liquid. Sublimation is the process of directly converting a solid to a liquid.

Boiling and evaporation are the two processes that cause vaporization. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid body's surface changes from a liquid to a gas, as in the case of a drop of water on hot concrete evaporating into a gas. A liquid is said to be boiling when it is heated to the point at which it begins to give off steam, as when you boil water on a stove. The process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state is known as vaporization.
