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 force F→=(cx-3.00x2)iˆ acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, with F→ in newtons, x in meters, and c a cons
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done = ∫Fdx

= ∫(cx-3.00x²)   dx

[ c x² / 2 - 3 x³ / 3 ]₀²

= change in kinetic energy

= 11-20

= - 9 J

[ c x² / 2 -  x³   ]₀² = - 9

c x 2² / 2 - 2³ = -9

2c - 8 = -9

2c = -1

c = - 1/2

In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch is 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s².

How many times stronger than gravity is this force? 2.79 x 10⁴ g.

Explanation:

given information:

s = 220 m

final speed, vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

he unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch

vf² = v₀²+2as, v₀ = 0

vf² = 2as

a =vf²/2s

  = (10970)²/(2x220)

  = 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s²

Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration

a/g = 2.7 x 10⁵/9.8

a/g = 2.79 x 10⁴

a = 2.79 x 10⁴ g

How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of for
muminat

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}

<u>η = 0.882 = 88.2 %</u>

Evaluating alternative options and choosing one option among them is called the theory of bounded rationality.
VikaD [51]

It is false, bounded rationality is the idea that rationality is limited when individuals make decisions. ... Limitations include the difficulty of the problem requiring a decision, the cognitive capability of the mind, and the time available to make the decision.

But one thing, NEXT TIME TELL US THE QUESTION FIRST AND DON'T JUST LEAVE BLINDLY ASKING SOMETHING.
