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

Physics

shutvik [7]3 years ago

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

A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) t = 20 [s]

b) Can't land

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations, it is of great importance to note that when the plane lands it slows down until it reaches rest, ie the final speed will be zero.

a)

v_{f}=v_{i}-(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the aircraft slows down as it stops.

0 = 100 - 5*t

5*t = 100

t = 20 [s]

b)

Now we can find the distance using the following kinematics equation.

x -x_{o}=(v_{o}*t)+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}

x - xo = distance [m]

x -xo = (0*20) + (0.5*5*20^2)

x - xo =  1000 [m]

1000 [m] = 1 [km]

And the runaway is 0.8 [km], therefore the jetplane needs 1 [km] to land. So the jetpalne can't land

Doc Brown has calculated his Delorean can accelerate at a rate of 2.52 m/s/s. How
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

304.89m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration a = 2.52m/s²

final speed v = 39.2m/s

initial speed = 0m/s (car accelerates from rest)

Using the equation of motion below to get the distance of Doc brown from Marty;

v² = u²+2as

substitute the given parameters

39.2² = 0²+2(2.52)s

1536.64 = 0+5.04s

divide both sides by 5.04

1536.64/5.04 = 5.04s/5.04

rearrange the equation

5.04s/5.04 = 1536.64/5.04

s = 304.89m

Hence He and Marty must stand at 304.89m to allow the car to accelerate from rest to a speed  of 39.2 m/s?

Water has a specific heat of 4.184
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Water.

Explanation:

This means:

1) For the temperature of water to raise at any point to the next degree by 1°C, will require a specific heat capacity of  4.184  J/Kg°C

2) For the temperature of wood to raise at any point to the next degree by 1°C, will require a specific heat capacity of  1.760  J/Kg°C

Note that: specific heat is directly proportional to energy, therefore the higher the heat capacity, the higher the energy.

4.184  J/Kg°C is higher than 1.760  J/Kg°C, hence WATER needs more energy.
