The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver

age resistivity of the interior of the human body is 5.5 Ωm . Dry skin has a much higher resistivity, but skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. If skin resistance is neglected, what potential difference between the hands is needed for a lethal shock of 100 \rm mA across the chest? Your result shows that even small potential differences can produce dangerous currents when the skin is wet.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, \rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}

Resistivity is given by:

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

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

R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V

What factor affects sensation
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

D physiological condition

Explanation:

Sensation and perceptions are complimentary to each other but have different roles within the brain. Sensations are the process of experiencing the world with the five senses and sending that information to the brain. Perceptions are the way we interpret sensations.

How does state-dependence impact memory recall?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The state of the person under the influence of alcohol

The place in which the memory was initially encoded for the retrieval of information.

Retrieval of information is generally better given similar rather than different contextual cues Motivational and emotional factors

These are also likely to affect recall and forgetting.

Planet RMM-1 has a mass of 28,500 kg and the star it revolves around has
SOVA2 [1]

Gravitational force = G · (mass₁) · (mass₂) / (distance)

(distance²) = G · (mass₁) · (mass₂) / (Gravitational force)

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ n-m² / kg²  (the "gravitational constant")

Distance²  = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ n-m² / kg²) (28,500 kg) (2.2 x 10⁸ kg) / (39 N)

Distance² = (6.67 · 28,500 · 2.2 x 10⁻³ N-m²) / (39N)

Distance²  =  (418.209 N-m²) / (39N)

Distance²  =  10.72 m²

<em>Distance = 3.275 meters</em>

An absurd scenario, but that's by golly what the math says with the numbers provided.  I guess it's a teeny tiny planet orbiting 3.275 meters outside a teeny tiny black hole.

A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1080 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(a): The normal force on the car  from the track when the car's speed is v= 7.6 m/s  is  FN= -6696 N.

(b): The normal force on the car from the track when the car's speed is v= 17 m/s is FN= 8912.7 N.

Explanation:

m= 1080 kg

r= 16m

v1= 7.6 m/s

v2= 17 m/s

g= 9.81 m/s²

v1= w1*r

w1= v1/r

w1= 0.475 rad/s

ac1= w1² * r

ac1= 3.61 m/s²

FN= m * (ac1 - g)

FN= -6696 N    (a)

-----------------------------------------------------

v2= w2*r

w2= v2/r

w2= 1.06 rad/s

ac2= w2² * r

ac2= 18.06 m/s²

FN= m * (ac2 - g)

FN= 8912.7 N    (b)
