Answer:

8\cdot 10^{-4} V

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the cross-sectional area of the copper wire. The radius of the wire half the diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.28 cm}{2}=0.64 cm=6.4\cdot 10^{-3} m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (6.4\cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=1.29\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

Now we can calculate the resistance of the piece of copper wire between the bird's feet, with the formula:

R=\rho \frac{L}{A}

where

\rho=1.68\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m is the resistivity of copper

L=4.12 cm=4.12 \cdot 10^{-2} m is the length of the piece of wire

A=1.29\cdot 10^{-4} m^2 is the cross-sectional area

Substituting, we find

R=(1.68\cdot 10^{-8} m^2)\frac{4.12\cdot 10^{-2} m}{1.29\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}=5.4\cdot 10^{-6} \Omega

And since we know the current in the wire, I=149 A, we can now find the potential difference across the body of the bird, by using Ohm's law:

V=IR=(149 A)(5.4\cdot 10^{-6} \Omega)=8\cdot 10^{-4} V

You are playing a speed-based card game with your 64-year-old grandfather. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards as
Masteriza [31]

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.

A cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium, He, at room temperature. More helium was added to the cylinder and t
Katen [24]

Answer:

0.358g

Explanation:

Density of Helium = 0.179g/L

ρ=m/v

m=ρv

when the volume was 2L

m1= 0.179*2

m1=0.358g

when the volume increased to 4L

m2= 0.179*4

m2=0.716g

gram of helium added = 0.716g-0.358g

=0.358g
