Answer:

D. It has a low resistance and allows charges to move freely.

Explanation:

The high conductivity of copper allow charges to move freely without the need of too much force. The conductivity decreases with increase in resistance. Low resistance also means less heating of the conductors. This property of copper makes it ideal for use in the manufacture of electric cables and conductors for various gadgets.

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

<h3>Force required to pull one end at a constant speed</h3>

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F = ma

where;

m is mass
a is acceleration

At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.

F = m x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

Answer: (x - 4)² + (y - 7)² = 9

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where

(h, k) is the center
r is the radius

Given: (h, k) = (4, 7)

Find the intersection of the given equation and the perpendicular passing through (4, 7).

3x - 4y = -1

-4y = -3x - 1

$y=\dfrac{3}{4}x-1$

$m=\dfrac{3}{4}$ --> $m_{\perp}=-\dfrac{4}{3}$

$y-y_1=m_{\perp}(x-x_1)\\\\y-7=-\dfrac{4}{3}(x-4)\\\\\\y=-\dfrac{4}{3}x+\dfrac{16}{3}+7\\\\\\y=-\dfrac{4}{3}x+\dfrac{37}{3}$

Use substitution to find the point of intersection:

$x=\dfrac{29}{5}=5.8,\qquad y=\dfrac{23}{5}=4.6$

Use the distance formula to find the distance from (4, 7) to (5.8, 4.6) = radius

$r=\sqrt{(5.8-4)^2+(4.6-7)^2}\\\\r=\sqrt{3.24+5.76}\\\\r=\sqrt9\\\\r=3$

Input h = 4, k = 7, and r = 3 into the circle equation:

(x - 4)² + (y - 7)² = 3²

(x - 4)² + (y - 7)² = 9

How much time does it take a power drill accelerating at 64.3 rad/s2 to achieve

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer;

= 0.244 seconds

Explanation;

500 rpm is equivalent to; 1500 × 2π radians per minute

= 9424.8 rad/minute

To get revolutions per second we divide by 60

= 9424.8/60

= 157.08 radians per second.

Then we divide by 64.3 rad/s^2 to get time;

= 157.08/64.3

= 0.244 seconds.

Particles of charge +65, +48, and ?95 ?C are placed in a line (Figure 1) . The center one is L = 40cm from each of the others.

torisob [31]

Answer:

A. - 0.017N. It acts to the left.

B. - 0.043N. It acts to the left.

C. 0.060N. It acts to the right.

Explanation:

A. For the +65μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the two other charges are on the +x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [KQ(1)Q(2)]/(r^2) + [KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2)

Where K = Coloumbs constant =

Q(1) = charge on the leftmost side.

Q(2) = charge in the middle.

Q(3) = charge on the rightmost side.

F = [(8.988 × 10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(48×10^-6)]/(40^2) + [(8.988 × 10^9)×(-95×10^-6)×(65×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = 0.01753 - 0.03469

F = -0.017N

It has a negative sign, hence, it acts to the left.

B. For the +48μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the leftmost charge is on the - x axis and the rightmost charge is on the +x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [-KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2) + [KQ(2)Q(3)]/(r^2)

F = [-(8.988×10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(48×10^-6)]/(40^2) + [(8.988 × 10^9)×(48×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = -0.017 - 0.02562

F = - 0.043N

It has a negative sign, hence, it acts to the left.

C. For the -95μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the two other charges are on the - x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [-KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2) - [KQ(2)Q(3)]/(r^2)

F = [-(8.988×10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2) - [(8.988 × 10^9)×(48×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = +0.03469 + 0.02562

F = +0.060N

It has a positive sign, hence, it acts to the right.

If 56.5 m3 of a gas are collected at a pressure of 455 mm Hg, what volume will the gas occupy if the pressure is changed to 632

ExtremeBDS [4]

Assuming ideal conditions, Boyle's law says that

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

where P₁ and V₁ are the initial pressure and temperature, respectively, and P₂ and V₂ are the final pressure and temperature.

So you have

(455 mm Hg) (56.5 m³) = (632 mm Hg) V₂

==> V₂ = (455 mm Hg) (56.5 m³) / (632 mm Hg) ≈ 40.7 m³
