An oceanographer is studying how the ion concentration in seawater depends on depth. She makes a measurement by lowering into th

e water a pair of concentric metallic cylinders at the end of a cable and taking data to determine the resistance between these electrodes as a function of depth. The water between the two cylinders forms a cylindrical shell of inner radius r_a, outer radius r_b, and length L much larger than r_b. The scientist applies a potential difference Delta V between the inner and outer surfaces, producing an outward radial current I. Let rho represent the resistivity of the water.
(a) Find the resistance of the water between the cylinders in terms of L, rho, r_a, and r_b.
(b) Express the resistivity of the water in terms of the measured quantities L, r_a, r_b, Delta V and I.

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

A block of mass m slides with a speed vo on a frictionless surface and collides with another mass M which is initially at rest.
Rudik [331]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum can be defined as the product between mass and velocity. We will depart to facilitate the understanding of the demonstration, considering the initial and final momentum separately, but for conservation, they will be later matched. Thus we will obtain the value of the mass. Our values will be defined as

m_1 = m

m_2 = M

v_{1i} =v_0

v_{2i} = 0

Initial momentum will be

P_i = m_iv_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}

P_i = mv_0

After collision

v_{1f} = v_{2f} = \frac{v_0}{3}

Final momentum

P_f = (m_1+m_2)(\frac{v_0}{3})

P_f = (m+M)(\frac{v_0}{3})

From conservation of momentum

P_f = P_i

Replacing,

(m+M)(\frac{v_0}{3})=mv_0

(m+M)\frac{1}{3} = m

m+M=3m

M=3m-m

M=2m

Using a refracting telescope, you observe the planet Mars when it is 1.99×1011 m from Earth. The diameter of the telescope's obj
Rudik [331]

The minimum feature size, in kilometers, on the surface of Mars that your telescope can resolve for you is  140km.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

Telescope is device through which we can see the distant objects very clearly as it seems like they are some meters away.

Distance of the Mars from the Earth D = 1.99 x 10¹¹ m

Diameter of telescope's objective lens d = 0.977 m

The wavelength of light λ in m, λ = 563nm = 563 x 10⁻⁹ m

The distance y or the minimum feature size  =1.22λD/d

Substitute the value, we get

y = 1.22 x 563 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.99 x 10¹¹ /0.977

y = 140 km (approximately)

Thus, the minimum feature size, in kilometers, on the surface of Mars that your telescope can resolve for you is  140km.

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.
