C. Thick wire and cold temperature.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by: R = (ρL)/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the wire, A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

From the formula, we see that the thicker the wire, the larger A, therefore the smaller the resistivity. so, a thick wire will have lower resistivity.

Moreover, the resistance of a wire increases with the temperature. In fact, high temperatures mean more motion of the atoms/electrons inside the wire, so more resistance to the flow of current through it. Therefore, colder temperature means lower resistance.

So, the correct option is thick wire and cold temperature.

State the 3 laws of motion

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion:

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Newton's second law:

The net force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.

Newton's third law:

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.

What is the energy per photon absorbed during the transition from n = 2 to n = 3 in the hydrogen atom?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the wavelength of hydrogen atom.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = 10973731.6 m⁻¹

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = 3

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(10973731.6)\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )$

$\lambda=6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Now we have to calculate the energy.

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = $6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Putting the values, in this formula, we get:

$E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{6.56\times 10^{-7}m}$

$E=3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Therefore, the energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

The gas in a balloon has T=280 K and V=0.0279 m^3. if the temperature increases to 320 K at constant pressure, what is the new v

victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.0319 m³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Since P, n, and R are held constant:

n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂

Which means:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

Plugging in:

0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K

V = 0.0319 m³

Below is the solution:

Heat soda=heat melon
m1*cp1*(t-t1)=m2*cp2*(t2-t); cp2=cpwater 
12*0.35*3800*(t-5)=6.5*4200*(27-t) 
15960(t-5)=27300(27-t) 
15960t-136500=737100-27300t 
43260t=873600 
t=873600/43260 
t=20.19 deg celcius
