Answer:

Explanation:

The electric field inside a conductor is always zero if the charges inside the conductor are not moving.

Since the electron are not moving then they must be in electrostatic equilibrium which means the electric field inside the conductor is zero. if the electric field existed inside the conductor then there will be net force on all the electrons and the electrons will accelerate.

Irina18 [472]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is A. Chemical energy to heat energy to kinetic energy to electrical energy.

Let's check the energy conversion given in the statement:

Chemical energy: Chemical energy is usually obtained from a natural resource combustion. For this particular case is the result of natural gas combustion.

Heat energy: Heat energy comes from chemical reactions such as natural gas combustions.

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is obtained by turbines transforming the pressurized steam on mechanical movement. Turbines are formed by a turbine that absorbs the heat energy to do mechanical work and transmit it to an output rotating shaft.

Electrical energy: Electrical energy is generated by gas turbines when the rotating output shaft is connected to an electrical generator. Electrical generators use mechanical energy to generate electrical energy by using electromagnetic induction. Electrical generators are basically formed by a rotor and a stator.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

$Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}$

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

How do you know the Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.

SP: Calculate the moment

ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, $F=80\ N$

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, $d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m$

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

$M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}$

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a) R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²) , b) ρ₀ = V / I π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

Explanation:

a) The resistance of a material is given by

R = ρ l / A

where ρ is the resistivity, l is the length and A is the area

the length is l = L and the resistivity is ρ = ρ₀

the area is the area of the cylindrical shell

A = π r_b² - π r_a²

A = π (r_b² - r_a²)

we substitute

R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²)

b) The potential difference is related to current and resistance by ohm's law

V = i R

we subsist the expression of resistance

V = I ρ₀ L /π (r_b² - R_a²)

ρ₀ = V / I π (r_b² - R_a²) / L
