Answer:

A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.

A bus slows with constant acceleration from 24.0 m/s to 16.0 m/s and moves 50.0 m in the process. (a) How much further does it t

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) Bus will traveled further a distance of 40 m

(b) It will take 7.5 sec to stop the bus

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity of the bus u = 24 m/sec

And final velocity v = 16 m/sec

Distance traveled in this process s = 50 m

From third equation of motion we know that $v^2=u^2+2as$

$16^2=24^2+2\times a\times 50$

$a=-3.2m/sec^2$

(a) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

So $v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=24^2-2\times 3.2\times s$

s= 90 m

So further distance traveled by bus = 90-50 =40 m

(b) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v= 0 m/sec

Initial velocity u = 24 m/sec

Acceleration $a=-3.2m/sec^2$

So time $t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-24}{-3.2}=7.5sec$

A ball moving at positive 3.0 m per s along a table rolls off a table and lands on the ground 2.0 m away. How high was the table

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s

X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m

a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²

t = time taken to land = ?

using the kinematics equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²

t = 2/3

consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s

Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h

a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²

t = time taken to land = 2/3

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²

h = 2.2 m
