A person notices a mild shock if the current along a path through the thumb and index finger exceeds 77 μA. Compare the maximum

possible voltage without shock across the thumb and index finger with a dry-skin resistance of 4.4 ✕ 105 Ω and a wet-skin resistance of 1,750 Ω.

Answer:

Maximum possible voltage without shock across the thumb and index finger with a dry-skin = 33.88 V

Maximum possible voltage without shock across the thumb and index finger with a wet-skin = 0.135 V

Explanation:

From Ohm's law

V = IR

For the maximum possible voltage without shock for dry skin, the

R = 4.4 × 10⁵ Ω

I ≤ 77 μA

I ≤ 77 × 10⁻⁶ A

V ≤ 4.4 × 10⁵ × 77 × 10⁻⁶ = 33.88 V

For the maximum possible voltage without shock for dry skin, the

R = 1750 Ω

I ≤ 77 μA

I ≤ 77 × 10⁻⁶ A

V ≤ 1750 × 77 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.13475 V

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

What is the source of the radioactivity?
Nataly_w [17]
The Earth itself is a source of terrestrial radiation. Radioactive materials including uranium, thorium, and radium exist naturally in soil and rock. Essentially all air contains radon<span> , which is responsible for most of the dose that Americans receive each year from natural background sources.</span>

What does it mean to say that science is a “systematic” process?
Maurinko [17]
Systematic is just a certain way of doing something. So science being systematic may just refer to the scientific method or how theories are proved in science by repeating the scientific method over and over again.
