Jayden was given a marshmallow and a syringe in class to experiment with. She placed the marshmallow in the syringe and sealed t

he end. When she depressed the plunger of the syringe what happened to the marshmallow and why? A) The increased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink. B) The decreased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink. C) The increased pressure, allowed the molecules to spread apart, and caused the marshmallow to grow larger.

I what is the resistance of
Lynna [10]
The resistance of a conductor is given by:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where
\rho is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the conductor
A is its cross-sectional area

We can use this formula to solve both parts of the problem.

a) The length of the copper wire is L=1.0 m. Its diameter is d=0.50 mm, so its radius is 
r= \frac{d}{2}=0.25 mm=0.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m
And its cross-sectional area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.25 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 = 1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2
The copper resistivity is \rho=1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(1.0 m)}{1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2}=  8.57 \cdot 10^{-2} \Omega

b) The length of this piece of iron is L=10 cm=0.10 m. Its cross-sectional size is L=1.0 mm=0.001 m, so its cross-sectional area is
A=L^2 = (0.001 m)^2 =1 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2
The iron resistivity is \rho = 9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(0.10 m)}{1.0 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=9.71 \cdot 10^{-3} \Omega

A train travelling at 20 m/s has 2 000 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of<br> the train?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<h2>10,000 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the train can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} }  \\

k is the kinetic energy

v is the velocity

From the question we have

m \frac{2(2000000)}{ {20}^{2} }  =  \frac{4000000}{400}  =  \frac{40000}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10,000 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
