Determine the ratio of the resistivity of pure water to silver?

1 answer:

3 0

Silver is a very good conductor, this means its resistivity is very low (from table, we can check the precise value, which is $\rho_s = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ ).

Pure water, instead, is a very bad conductor, this means its resistivity is very high, of order of $k \Omega \cdot m$ ( $10^3 \Omega m$ ). Even without knowing the precise value of the pure water resistivity, we can estimate the ratio between the pure water resistivity and the silver resistivity by comparing the two orders of magnitude:
$r= \frac{10^3 \Omega m}{10^{-8} \Omega m} \sim 10^{11}$

Therefore, we can say that the correct answer is
$3 \cdot 10^{11} : 1$

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub

aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse ( $F \times t$ ). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

$s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$ .

Thus, impulse

$= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

From Newton`s second law,

$F =mg$

Therefore, impulse

$= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}$

Given, $m = 7.3 kg$ and $s = 2.0 m$

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse

$= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns$ .

A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 38 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 66 km/h. Calculate the a

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Average speed will be 48.23 km/h

Explanation:

Let the distance up to hill is = d km

Speed when car goes to hill = 38 km/h

So time required $t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{d}{38}hour$

Speed when car return from hill = 66 km/h

So time required to return fro hill $t=\frac{d}{66}h$

Total time $t_{total}=\frac{t}{38}+\frac{t}{66}$

Total distance = d+d =2d

So average speed $=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time}=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{38}+\frac{d}{66}}=48.23km/h$

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00

vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

$v$ = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

$\theta$ = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel

$y$ = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

$y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}$

$- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2$

$t$ = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity along horizontal direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel = 1.22 sec

$x$ = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

$x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}$

$x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2$

$x$ = 7.5 m
