The reciprocal of resistance or measure of a devices ability to conduct is called Conductance. Conductance is the ability of material that allows electricity to pass through it. The unit of conductance is seimens. It can also be represented by "mho" , inverse of "ohm" which is unit of resistance. Best example of conductive metals are silver and copper. Materials that allows conductivity are called Conductor. Material that partially allows conductivity are called Semi-conductor. Material that does not allow conductivity are called Insulator.

Conductance can also be defined as ability to flow. The term conductance is not only used for electrical conductivity, but it is also used for thermal conductivity and fluid conductivity.

A car travels due east 14 miles in 18 minutes. Then, the car turns around and returns to its starting point, taking an additiona
N76 [4]

Answer:

(a) The average speed is 0.85 milles/minute

(b) The average velocity is zero

Explanation:

In order to answer part (a) and (b) you have to apply the formulas for average speed and average velocity which are:

<em>-Average speed formula:</em>

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the total distance traveled and t is the tota time

Replacing the given values:

v=\frac{14+14}{18+15}\\v=\frac{28}{33} \\v=0.85 milles/minute

Notice that you have to replace the total distance, which is 14 milles for the go plus 14 milles for the return. The same for the total time.

<em>-Average velocity formula:</em>

V = Δx/Δt

Where V is the velocity vector, Δx is the displacement and Δt is the change in time

V= \frac{X2-X1}{t2-t1}

Where X2 is the final position and X1 is the initial position

In this case X1= 0 i and X2=0 i (i is the unit vector in the x direction). So, the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the average velocity is:

V= 0 i [milles/minute]

A solar cell, 3.0 cm square, has an output of 350 mA at 0.80 V when exposed to full sunlight. A solar panel that delivers close
Vesna [10]

Answer:

You will need 450 cells (3 cm each) to meet the voltage/current requirement.

The panel must be 3 cells in one side, by 150 cell in another side. 1350 cm^2 or 0.135 m^2. They must be connected 3 in row in parallel (to add current), then each of the former group must be connected in series to meet the voltage, so it would be 150 rows of connected in series.

The panel can be optimized using a voltage inverter, to convert current to voltage. In this way, less cells can be used achieving the same output specs.

Explanation:

To meet the voltage:

120 [v] required voltage

0.8 [v] voltage of each cell

\frac{120}{0.8} =150[v]\\

So we need 150 cells in series for the voltage.

To meet the current

1.0 [A]      Required current

350[mA]=0.35[A] cell current

1/0.35=3 cell So we need 3 cells in parallel to add the currents and meet the requirement.

Car A is traveling west at 40 mi/h and car B is traveling north at 40 mi/h. Both are headed for the intersection of the two road
Gwar [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

    \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h,     \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h

The negative sign indicates that x and y are decreasing.

We have to find \frac{dz}{dt}. Equation for the given variables according to the Pythagoras theorem is as follows.

              z^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}

Now, we will differentiate each side w.r.t 't' as follows.

        2z\frac{dz}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

or,          \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

So, when x = 4 mi, and y = 3 mi then z = 5 mi.

As,       \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

                       = \frac{1}{5}(4 \times (-40) + 3 \times (-40))

                       = \frac{-140 - 120}{5}

                       = 52

Thus, we can conclude that the cars are approaching at a rate of 52 mi/h.
