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 thrown horizontally from the top of a building and strikes the sidewalk after 2.8 s. How tall is the building? Neglect

Brut [27]

Answer:

h = 38.41 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building and strikes the sidewalk after 2.8 s.

We need to find the height of the building. Let it is h.

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Using second equation of motion to find h as follows :

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\\text{Put u = 0 and a = g}\\\\h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 2.8^2\\\\=38.41\ m$

So, the building is 38.41 m tall.

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 above the ground . Your physics professor, who is 1.80 tall, is walking alongs

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

3.6m

Explanation:

if you are at a building that is 46m above the ground, and the professor is 1.80m, the egg must fall:

46m - 1.80m = 44.2m

the egg must fall for 44.2m to land on the head of the professor.

Now, how many time this takes?

we have to use the following free fall equation:

$h=v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where $h$ is the height, $v_{0}$ is the initial velocity, in this case $v_{0}=0$ . $g$ is the acceleration of gravity: $g=9.81m/s$ and $t$ is time, thus:
