A bicyclist rides 1.86 km due east, while the resistive force from the air has a magnitude of 5.12 N and points due west. The ri

der then turns around and rides 1.86 km due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 5.12 N and points due east. Find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip.

Answer:

-19.0 kJ

Explanation:

Let's keep in mind that the direction of the resistive force is always opposite to the displacement of the bicyclist.

- In the first part of the ride:

Displacement: d = 1.86 km = 1860 m

Resistive force: F = 5.12 N

Angle between the direction of the force and the displacement: $\theta=180^{\circ}$

So, the work done by the resistive force is

$W=Fdcos \theta =(5.12 N)(1860 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-9523 J$

- Similarly, in the second part of the ride:

Displacement: d = 1.86 km = 1860 m

Resistive force: F = 5.12 N

Angle between the direction of the force and the displacement: $\theta=180^{\circ}$

So, the work done by the resistive force is

$W=Fdcos \theta =(5.12 N)(1860 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-9523 J$

Therefore, the total work done by the resistive force during the round trip is

$W=-9523 J+(-9523 J)=-19046 J=-19.0 kJ$

A 1.60 m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

bija089 [108]

1.

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}$

Part b)

$\alpha = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Part a)

Length of the rod is 1.60 m

diameter = 0.550 cm

now if the current in the ammeter is given as

$i = 18.7 A$

V = 17.0 volts

now we will have

$V = I R$

$17.0 = 18.7 R$

R = 0.91 ohm

now we know that

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

$0.91 = \rho \frac{1.60}{\pi(0.275\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$\rho = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}$

Part b)

Now at higher temperature we have

$V = I R$

$17.0 = 17.3 R$

R = 0.98 ohm

now we know that

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

$0.98 = \rho' \frac{1.60}{\pi(0.275\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$\rho' = 1.46 \times 10^{-5}$

so we will have

$\rho' = \rho(1 + \alpha \Delta T)$

$1.46 \times 10^{-5} = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}(1 + \alpha (92 - 20))$

$\alpha = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}$

2.

Answer:

Part a)

$i = 1.55 A$

Part b)

$v_d = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that current density is defined as

$j = \frac{i}{A}$

now we have

$i = jA$

Now we have

$j = 1.90 \times 10^6 A/m^2$

$A = \pi(\frac{1.02 \times 10^{-3}}{2})^2$

so we will have

$i = 1.55 A$

Part b)

now we have

$j = nev_d$

so we have

$n = 8.5 \times 10^{28}$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

so we have

$1.90 \times 10^6 = (8.5 \times 10^{28})(1.6 \times 10^{-19})v_d$

$v_d = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} m/s$

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.
