Copper, because it has the lowest specific electrical resistance.

specific electrical resistance aka volume resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules
Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\  \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

Plain electromagnetic wave (in air) has a frequency of 1 MHz and its B-field amplitude is 9 nT a. What is the wavelength in air?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Part a)

\lambda = 300 m

Part b)

E = 2.7 N/C

Part c)

I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2

P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}

\lambda = 300 m

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

E = Bc

E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)

E = 2.7 N/C

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c

I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)

I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}

P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2
