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

snow_lady [41]

Answer: Option 2

Explanation:

Option 1 is wrong because there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in nucleus.

Option 3 is wrong because there are two electrons moving around nucleus.

Option 4 is wrong because electrons are negatively charged and are moving around the nucleus.

Option 5 is wrong because there equal amount of protons and electrons with 2 each.

The mass of a golf ball is 45.9
Tema [17]
The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is: 
<span>λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], </span>
<span>where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: </span>
<span>λ = h/mv. </span>
<span>Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): </span>
<span>λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.</span>

A girl weighing 50 kgf wears sandals of pencil heel of area of cross section 1 cm^2, stands on the floor.An elephant weighing 20
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\boxed{{\boxed{\blue{ 12.5}}}}

Explanation:

Given, for girl : Weight or force;

\rm \: F_1 = 50 \: kgf

Area of both heels;

\rm \: A_1 =  \; 2 ×1 \;  cm^2 = 2  \: cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_1  =  \cfrac{F_1}{ A_1 }  =  \dfrac{50 \: kgf}{2 \: cm {}^{2} }  = 25 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 1}

For elephant, Weight = Force \rm F_2 = 2000 kg•f

Area of 4 feet;

\rm \: A_2  = \; 4 \times 250 \;  cm^2 = 1000 \:  cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_2 = {F_2}/{A_2} \;  = \cfrac{2 \cancel{0 00 }\:  kgf}{1 \cancel{000} \: cm^2} =  2 \: kgf \: { \:cm}^{- 1}

Now;

\rm  = \dfrac{Pressure \:  Exerted  \: by  \: the \:  Girl}{Pressure  \: exerted  \: by \:  the  \: elephant}

=  \rm \: P_1/P_2

\implies    \rm\cfrac{25 \: kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2} }{2 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2} } =  \rm\cfrac{25 \:  \cancel{kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2}} }{2 \: \cancel{ kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2}} } = \boxed{12.5}

Thus, the girl's pointed heel sandals exert 12.5 times more pressure P than the pressure P exerted by the elephant.

I aspire this helps!
