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

Answer:

Using Faraday's law;

ε= -N ∆ψ(B)/ ∆t;

∆t= -N ∆ψ(B)/ ε

Explanation:

Using Faraday's law; Faraday's law state that the induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of time of magnetic flux

ε= -N ∆ψ(B)/ ∆t;

Where ε= induced EMF, ∆ψ(B)/ ∆t is the rate of change of magnetic flux, ψ(B) = BA cos θ

θ= the angle between the magnetic field B and the normal surface area.

We can also calculate the direction of induced magnetic flux. At first, the field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop,the loop can rotate about either an horizontal or vertical axis passing through the mid point

Well, isn’t v=d/t, then by making subject d, d=vt, turn 3 hours into seconds, 1hr=3600sec, hence 3hr=x, cross multiply and you would have converted it into seconds, then put it into your equation of d=vt

Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.
