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

A 70.0Kg cyclist Rides a 15.0kg
Inessa [10]

Answer:

1275     kg*m/s

Explanation:

We'll use the momentum equation:

p=mv

where:

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Since we're doing the magnitude of momentum of the system, we'll add the mass of the cyclist and the mountain bike together:

70.0 kg + 15.0kg=85.0 kg

Given that, we can now substitute our given values into the momentum equation:

p=mv\\p=85.0kg*15.0m/s

Our final answer is:

p= 1275 kg*m/s

A 120-V rms voltage at 60.0 Hz is applied across an inductor, a capacitor, and a resistor in series. If the rms value of the cur
klemol [59]

Answer:

The impedance of this circuit is 200 ohm.

Explanation:

Given that,

rms voltage = 120 v

Frequency = 60.0 Hz

rms current = 0.600 A

We need to calculate the impedance

Using formula of impedance

Z=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{I_{rms}}

Where, V_{rms} = rms voltage

I_{rms} = rms current

Z= impedance

Put the value into the formula

Z=\dfrac{120}{0.600}

Z=200\ Omega

Hence, The impedance of this circuit is 200 ohm.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Static friction

Explanation:

When there is contact between two surfaces and there is no movement, there is static friction. So, if we have a book that rests on a wooden table, we have an example of Static friction, where this force avoids the movement of the book.
