Answer:

T=283^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given a material with temperature coefficient of resistance <em>c</em>, the equation that relates the resistance R_0 at temperature T_0 and the resistance R at temperature T is

\frac{R-R_0}{R_0}=c(T-T_0)

We want to double our resistance, so R=2R_0, thus having:

\frac{2R_0-R_0}{R_0}=\frac{R_0}{R_0}=1=c(T-T_0)

For this T must be:

1=cT-cT_0

T=\frac{1+cT_0}{c}

which for our values means (with T=20^{\circ}C=293^{\circ}K, remember to write temperature in S.I., and that for silver c=0.0038^{\circ}K^{-1}):

T=\frac{1+(0.0038^{\circ}K^{-1})(293^{\circ}K)}{(0.0038^{\circ}K^{-1})}=556^{\circ}K=283^{\circ}C

Explain Sound level intensity with mathematical steps?
yan [13]

Answer:

Sound intensity levels are quoted in decibels (dB) much more often than sound intensities in watts per meter squared. Decibels are the unit of choice in the scientific literature as well as in the popular media. The reasons for this choice of units are related to how we perceive sounds. How our ears perceive sound can be more accurately described by the logarithm of the intensity rather than directly to the intensity. The sound intensity level β in decibels of a sound having an intensity I in watts per meter squared is defined to be β(dB)=10log10(II0)β(dB)=10log10⁡(II0), where I0 = 10−12 W/m2 is a reference intensity. In particular, I0 is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz. Sound intensity level is not the same as intensity. Because β is defined in terms of a ratio, it is a unitless quantity telling you the level of the sound relative to a fixed standard (10−12 W/m2, in this case). The units of decibels (dB) are used to indicate this ratio is multiplied by 10 in its definition. The bel, upon which the decibel is based, is named for Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone.

An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. He then turns around and follows the path back to
Basile [38]
The displacement is zero. The most important concept to understand is the difference between displacement and total distance traveled. Total distance traveled would be tracking the length of the entire path the ant walked for the whole time (4.26m x 2). Displacement is how far from a designated origin (here, the food source) the ant ended up at the end of the time. Mathematically, the ant walked 4.26m from food source to nest (+4.26m) and then walked from the nest to food source (-4.26m), so the net displacement is [+4.26] + [-4.26] = 0m.

How does the location of the outer planets explain their composition and characteristics?
Elena-2011 [213]

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune collectively make up the group known as the jovian planets. The general structures of the jovian planets are opposite those of the terrestrial planets. Rather than having thin atmospheres around relatively large rocky bodies, the jovian planets have relatively small, dense cores surrounded by massive layers of gas. Made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, these planets do not have solid surfaces.

A watt is a measure of power (the rate of energy change) equal to 1 j&gt;s. (a) calculate the number of joules in a kilowatt- ho
GalinKa [24]
Before solving this, you must know the definition of these units of measurement. Watt is a measurement of power which is the amount of energy per unit time in seconds. Energy, on the other hand, is expressed through the SI unit Joules. Thus, power is the amount of energy in Joules per second.

From here, you can use the dimensional analysis technique. Also, you should know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and 24 hours is equal to 86,400 seconds. Then,

100 = Energy/86,400
Energy = 8,640,000 Joules
