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.

The distance between two stations is 180 km. A train takes 2 hours to cover this distance. The speed of the train in m/sec is...

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Av = 25 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed, which is defined as the relationship between distance over time. for this case we have.

$Av=\frac{distance}{time}$

where:

Av = speed [km/h] or [m/s]

distance = 180 [km]

time = 2 [hr]

Therefore the speed is equal to:

$Av = \frac{180}{2} \\Av = 90 [km/h]$

Now we must convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second

$90[\frac{km}{h}]*1000[\frac{m}{1km}]*1[\frac{h}{3600s} ]= 25 [m/s]$

You have a 3.00-liter container filled with N₂ at 25°C and 4.45 atm pressure connected to a 2.00-liter container filled with Ar

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer : The final pressure in the two containers is, 2.62 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Thus, the expression for final pressure in the two containers will be:

$PV=P_1V_1+P_2V_2$

$P=\frac{P_1V_1+P_2V_2}{V}$

where,

$P_1$ = pressure of N₂ gas = 4.45 atm

$P_2$ = pressure of Ar gas = 2.75 atm

$V_1$ = volume of N₂ gas = 3.00 L

$V_2$ = volume of Ar gas = 2.00 L

P = final pressure of gas = ?

V = final volume of gas = (4.45 + 2.75) L = 7.2 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$P=\frac{(4.45atm)\times (3.00L)+(2.75atm)\times (2.00L)}{7.2L}$

$P=2.62atm$

Thus, the final pressure in the two containers is, 2.62 atm

Before starting this problem, review Conceptual Example 3 in your text. Suppose that the hail described there comes straight dow

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is related to its change in momentum by:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force exerted

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be rewritten as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

So the formula can be rewritten as

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

In this problem we have:

$\frac{m}{\Delta t}=0.030 kg/s$ is the mass rate

$u=-15 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$v=+15 m/s$ is the final velocity

Therefore, the force exerted by the hail on the roof is:

$F=(0.030)(+15-(-15))=0.9 N$

A spring with a mass on the end of it hangs in equilibrium a distance of 0.4200 m above the floor. The mass is pulled down a dis

den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.48 m

Explanation:

I'm assuming that this takes place in an ideal situation, where we neglect a host of factors such as friction, weight of the spring and others

If the mass is hanging from equilibrium at 0.42 m above the floor, from the question, and it is then pulled 0.06 m below that particular position. This pulling is a means of adding more energy into the spring, when it is released, the weight compresses the spring and equals its distance (i.e, 0.06 m) above the height.

0.42 m + 0.06 m = 0.48 m

At the highest point thus, the height is 0.48 m above the ground.
