You plug in an extension cord and have to be very careful around the electrical outlet. however, you can handle the extension cord without worry of being shocked by the electrical charge. which statement best explains why you can do this?

(a) the cord is made of a combination of materials which are both good conductors of electricity. the combination of two conductors directs the flow of electricity away from you and down the cord.
(b) the extension cord is made of plastic which only conducts electricity for a certain period of time. if you handle the cord, the electricity passes through it so fast that you are not in danger of being shocked.
(c) the extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
(d) the cord has a plastic cover which is a good conductor of electricity so it carries the electrical current away from your hand which is an insulator

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
