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

How many electrons are in the third energy level?<br><br> 2<br> 8<br> 18<br> 20
Blababa [14]

Answer:

B)8

Explanation:

In the first energy level you can have, at most, 2. Every energy level after that wants to have 8 electrons. Valence electrons I believe.

Hope this helps, have a nice day! (^-^)

What combines to form bonds in compounds?
Mila [183]
A chemical compound consists of 2 or more chemical elements. They can be separated into simpler substances. Atoms of elements can be combined to form compounds. Molecules are groups of 2 or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Minerals are chemical compound that can be found in nature. Valence is a measure of the combining power of an element.Answer: A. Atoms of elements.

You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 27.0 m/s. as you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tr
Bezzdna [24]

speed of the car = 27 m/s

speed of truck ahead = 10 m/s

relative speed of car with respect to truck

v_r = 27 - 10 = 17 m/s

relative deceleration of car

a_r = -7 m/s^2

now the distance before they stop with respect to each other is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 17^2 = 2 *(-7)*d

d = 20.6 m

so it will come at the same speed of truck after 20.6 m distance and hence it will not hit the truck as the distance of the truck is 25 m from car

Part b)

Distance traveled by car before it stops is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

0^2  - 27^2 = 2 * (-7)* s

s = 52.1 m

so it will stop after it will cover total 52.1 m distance

Part c)

time taken by the car to stop

v_f - v_i = at

0 - 27 = (-7) * t

t = 3.86 s

now the distance covered by truck in same time

d = 3.86 * 10 = 38.6 m

now after the car will stop its distance from the truck is

D = 25 + 38.6 - 52.1 = 11.5 m

<em>so the distance between them is 11.5 m</em>

In your own words, explain how the red shift in the spectrum of objects in space provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory.
kondaur [170]
The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift<span> of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.</span>
