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 crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$

$F = \frac{6*600}{21}$

$F= 171.42 lb$

So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb

For which length of wire are the readings of resistance the most precise

levacccp [35]

The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. That is the longer the length of the wire, the higher the resistance and the shorter the length of the wire, the smaller the resistance.

When water is boiled under a pressure of 2.00atm, the heat of vaporization is 2.20×106J/kg and the boiling point is 120∘C. At th

Vikki [24]

Answer:

2033219.05 J

Explanation:

V = Volume

P = Pressure = 2 atm

m = Mass of water = 1 kg

$L_v$ = Heat of vaporization = $2.2\times 10^6\ J/kg$
