Anestetic [448]2 years ago

Answer:

R = ρ L / A     where R is the resistance and ρ the resistivity:

R2 / R1 = (L2 / A2) / (L1 / A1) = L2 * A1 / (L1 * A2)

R2 / R1 =  (2 L * A) / (L * 2 A) = 1

Their resistances should be the same.

forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) V = 0.2 J (2) 0.05J

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

K = 160 N/m

x = 0.05 m

Now,

(1) we solve for the  initial potential energy stored

Thus,

V = 1/2 kx² = 0.5 * 160 * (0.05)²

Therefore V = 0.2 J

(2)Now, we solve for how much of the internal energy is produced as the toy springs up to its maximum height.

By using the energy conversion, we have the following

ΔV = mgh

=(0.1/9.8) * 9.8 * 1.5 = 0.15J

The internal energy = 0.2 -0.15

=0.05J

The average Intensity of the electromagnetic field due to sunlight at the surface of the earth is 1400 W/m^2. Calculate the maxi
Ann [662]

Answer:

1027 N/C

3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

I = Intensity of electromagnetic field = 1400 W/m²

E₀ = Maximum value of electric field

Intensity of electromagnetic field is given as

I = (0.5) ε₀ E₀² c

1400 =  (0.5) (8.85 x 10⁻¹²) (3 x 10⁸) E₀²

E₀ = 1027 N/C

B₀ = maximum value of magnetic field

using the equation

E₀ = B₀ c

1027 = B₀ (3 x 10⁸)

B₀ = 3.42 x 10⁻⁶ T

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

P=\rho.g.h

\rho=density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

  • And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.

Teeth are an example of which type of simple machine? lever wedge inclined plane pulley
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".
