The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.20 kΩ (when it is wet). The maximum

safe current is about 4.90 mA. At 10.0 mA or above, muscle contractions can occur that may be fatal.
(a) What is the largest potential difference that a person can safely touch if his body is wet?
(b) Is this result within the range of common household voltages?

Answer:

a) The maximum potential difference the wet human body can take = 5.88 V

b) This value is very much lower than the normal voltage of household outlets (120 V) and isn't in the same range at all.

This means one should be very careful operating electrical appliances (even at home) while the body is wet.

Explanation:

From Ohm's law, V = IR

The resistance of the body when the body is wet = 1.2 kΩ = 1200 Ω

Maximum safe current that the body can withstand = 4.90 mA = 0.0049 A

Maximum voltage the body can withstand while wet = (Maximum safe current that the body can withstand) × (Resistance of the body when the body is wet) = 0.0049 × 1200 = 5.88 V

b) This value is still very much lower than the normal voltage of household outlets (120 V) and isn't in the same range at all.

This means one should be very careful operating electrical appliances (even at home) while the body is wet.

Serga [27]

Answer:

q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C

Explanation:

Deflection in the drop is due to electric field force

so we will have

F = qE

acceleration of the drop is given as

a = \frac{qE}{m}

a = \frac{q(7.75 \times 10^4)}{1.00 \times 10^{-11}}

a = 7.75 \times 10^{15} q

now we know that time to cross the plates is given as

t = \frac{D}{v}

t = \frac{0.02}{18}

t = 1.11 \times 10^{-3} s

now the deflection is given as

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

0.310 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{1}{2}(7.75 \times 10^{15} q)(1.11 \times 10^{-3})^2

0.310 \times 10^{-3} = 4.78 \times 10^9 q

q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 144144 ft per​ sec, then its height in feet after
Liula [17]

Answer:

4.5 s, 324 ft

Explanation:

The object is projected upward with an initial velocity of

v_0 = 144 ft/s

The equation that describes its height at time t is

s(t) = -16t^2 + 144 t (1)

where t, the time, is measured in seconds.

In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the maximum height, we must find an expression for its velocity at time t, which can be found by calculating the derivative of the position, s(t):

v(t) = s'(t) = -32t +144 (2)

At the maximum heigth, the vertical velocity is zero:

v(t) = 0

Substituting into the equation above, we find the corresponding time at which the object reaches the maximum height:

0=-32t+144\\t=\frac{144}{32}=4.5 s

And by substituting this value into eq.(1), we also find the maximum height:

s(t) = -16(4.5)^2+144(4.5)=324 ft

In odd nuclei, what determines the final spin of the nucleus?
Katen [24]

Answer:

In odd nuclei, the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin of the nucleus.

Explanation:

The meaning of odd nuclei is atomic mass is odd.

A=odd number.

A=Z+n

Here, Z is proton either it will odd or n will odd which is neutron.

Now according to the shell model the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin and parity.

For example,

Take the case of isotope of nitrogen-15.

Here Z is 7, and n is 8 will not contribute in spin.

Now, for Z=7.

1S^{2} _{\frac{1}{2} }, 1P^{4} _{\frac{3}{2} }, 1P^{1} _{\frac{1}{2} }

Here,

j=\frac{1}{2}

and, L=1.

Fort parity,

(-1)^{L}

Put the value of L.

Parity will be -1.

Now, spin will be

S=(\frac{1}{2} )^{-1}.
