Answer:

The temperature of silver at this given resistivity is 2971.1 ⁰C

Explanation:

The resistivity of silver is calculated as follows;

R_t = R_o[1 + \alpha(T-T_o)]\\\\

where;

Rt is the resistivity of silver at the given temperature

Ro is the resistivity of silver at room temperature

α is the temperature coefficient of resistance

To is the room temperature

T is the temperature at which the resistivity of silver will be two times the resistivity of iron at room temperature

R_t = R_o[1 + \alpha(T-T_o)]\\\\\R_t = 1.59*10^{-8}[1 + 0.0038(T-20)]

Resistivity of iron at room temperature = 9.71 x 10⁻⁸ ohm.m

When silver's resistivity becomes 2 times the resistivity of iron, we will have the following equations;

R_t,_{silver} = 2R_o,_{iron}\\\\1.59*10^{-8}[1 + 0.0038(T-20)] =(2 *9.71*10^{-8})\\\\\ \ (divide \ through \ by \ 1.59*10^{-8})\\\\1 + 0.0038(T-20) = 12.214\\\\1 + 0.0038T - 0.076 = 12.214\\\\0.0038T +0.924 = 12.214\\\\0.0038T  = 12.214 - 0.924\\\\0.0038T = 11.29\\\\T = \frac{11.29}{0.0038} \\\\T = 2971.1 \ ^0C

Therefore, the temperature of silver at this given resistivity is 2971.1 ⁰C

Option B is the correct answer.

MKS system gives the following units:

Distance ----- meters

Mass ----- Kilograms

Time ----- seconds

meter is basic unit for length measurement. smaller units are centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, bigger units are kilometer and so on.

kilogram is the basic unit for mass. smaller unit is gram.

second is the basic unit for time. Greater units are minutes, hours, smallest unit are micro second and so on.

An object with a mass of 2000 kg accelerates 8.3 m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of the force?
exis [7]

Answer:

<h2>16,600 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 2000 × 8.3

We have the final answer as

<h3>16,600 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
