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.

A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50

laila [671]

Answer:

The ball is dropped at a height of 9.71 m above the top of the window.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Height of the window=1.5 m
Time taken by ball to cover the window height=0.15

Now using equation of motion in one dimension we have

$s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Let u be the velocity of the ball when it reaches the top of the window

then

$1.5=0.15u+\dfrac{9.8\times0.15^2}{2}\\u=3.96\ \rm m/s\\$

Now u is the final velocity of the ball with respect to the top of the building

so let t be the time taken for it to reach the top of the window with this velocity

$3.96=gt\\t=0.4\ \rm s\\$

Let h be the height above the top of the window

$h=\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\\\h=\dfrac{9.8\times 0.4^2}{2}\\h=9.71\ \rm m$

How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.

Many web sites describe how to add wires to your clothing to keep you warm while riding your motorcycle. The wires are added to

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$P=42.075W$

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ .

The resistance of a wire is given by:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: $\rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m$ .

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Putting all together:

$P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}$

Which for our values is:

$P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W$

A tub of water is placed in a small room and heat is removed from the room. What will most likely occur if enough heat is remove

NARA [144]

Answer:

(A)The water will freeze.

Explanation:

Heat is the energy that when transferred causes change in temperature. If heat is added to a body by some process the bodies temperature increases and if heat is removed from a body by some process the temperature reduces.

In this case if enough heat is removed from the room the internal movement of the water particles will slow down causing the water to form crystal lattice thus forming ice. So, the water will freeze.
