A material through which a current does not move easily is a(n) _____.

1 answer:

6 0

<span>A material through which a current does not move easily is called
an insulator.

Technically, charges CAN move through an insulator, but they lose
a lot of energy doing it, so the current that flows through the insulator
is very very small, usually too small to even measure.

Another way to look at it: Insulators have high resistance.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}$

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2$

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is $a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}$ .

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference $C=2\pi r$ and the period T, then we have:

$v=\frac{C}{T}=2\pi r f$

Putting all together:

$a_{cp}=\frac{(2\pi r f)^2}{r}=4 \pi^2f^2r=4 \pi^2(0.75Hz)^2(0.35m)=7.77m/s^2$

A swimming pool measures 5.0 m long x 4.0 m wide x 3.0 mdeep.

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 588,000 N

b) 294000 N

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water = 1000kg/m3

(g) = 9.8m/s2

volume is given as (V)= 5m*4m*3m

a) force will be equal to weight of water

$W = mg = \rho g V = 1000\times 9.8 \times (5*4*3) = 588,000 kg m/s^2$

b) at either end

$P = \frac{F}{A} = P_o + \rho gh$

$dF = PdA$

$dF = \rho g w \int h dh$

$F = \rho g w \frac{h^2}{2}$

$F = \rho g A \frac{h}{2}$ [A = wh]

$F = 1000\times 9.8 \times 5\times 4 \times\frac{3}{2}$

F = 294000 N
