Answer:

Electrical resistivity and its inverse, electrical conductivity, is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly it resists or conducts electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ.

Answer:

Each material is capable of carrying current. The capacity and quantity of that current is what we call electrical conductivity.

This type of property is called intrinsic property and will depend on the atomic and molecular structure of the material.

A good example of a material with electrical conductivity is metal.

Answer:

a)32.34 N/m

b)10cm

c)1.6 Hz

Explanation:

Let 'k' represent spring constant

'm' mass of the object= 330g =>0.33kg

a) in order to find spring constant 'k', we apply Newton's second law to the equilibrium position 10cm below the release point.

ΣF=kx-mg=0

k=mg / x

k= (0.33 x 9.8)/ 0.1

k= 32.34 N/m

b) The amplitude, A, is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point (end points). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object.

Therefore, amplitude of the oscillation is 10cm

c)frequency of the oscillation can be determined by,

f= 1/2π $\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$
