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 jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds. The jogger starts at the origin and runs in the positive direction

Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) 25 m

(b) 75 m

Explanation:

Given that the jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds.

So, the speed of the jogger,

$v=\frac{10}{2}=5m/s\;\cdots(i)$

Let d be the distance covered by him in time, t s.

As distance=(speed) x (time)

So, $d=vt$

From equation (i)

$\Rightarrow d=5t\;\cdots(ii)$

As the jogger starts from origin, so, the distance, $d$ , also represents the position of the jogger at the time $t$ s.

The position-time graph has been shown.

(a) From equation (ii), for t=5.0 s

$d=5\times 5=25 m$

So, the jogger is at a distance of 25 m from the origin.

(b) Similarly, for t=15.0 s

$d=5\times 15=75 m$

So, the jogger is at a distance of 75 m from the origin.

can somebody help me answer this question? A car went from 110 m/s to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car

gogolik [260]

Answer:

-1.5m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be thought of as [Change in Velocity]/[Change in time]. To find these changes, you simply subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity.

So for this question you have:

V_i = 110m/s
V_f = 80m/s
t_i = 0s
t_f = 20s

which means that the acceleration = (80-110)/(20-0)[m/s²] = (-30/20)m/s² = -1.5m/s²

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of gla

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Complete Question

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of glass dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. As it is being inserted,

A :

a force repels the glass out of the capacitor.

B :

a force attracts the glass into the capacitor.

C :

no force acts on the glass.

D :

a net charge appears on the glass.

E :

the glass makes the plates repel each other.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Generally when the glass dielectric is slowly inserted between the plated,

The positive plate of the capacitor will induce a negative charge on the glass while the negative plate of the capacitor will induce a positive charge on glass which a electric field that posses an electric force that will attract the glass
