-- A shorter wire will allow electricity to  move through at a higher rate than a  longer wire . . . True, but "rate" is a poor way to say it. It should say "a higher current".  

-- A short, thick, cold wire is the best  conductor . . .  True

-- How well a material conducts current is an internal factor affecting resistance . . . True

-- If you double the length of a wire, you cut  the resistance in half . . . False. Double the length also means double the resistance.

-- If you double the thickness of a wire, you  cut the resistance in half . . . True

-- Superconductors have no measurable  resistance . . . True. They literally have NO resistance.

-- The higher the temperature of the  conductor, the lower the resistance . . . False. Higher temperature means higher resistance, for almost all conductors.

-- The resistance in a wire with less  thickness is less . . . False. We just said, up above  in Question-#5, "If you double the thickness of a wire, you  cut the resistance in half". Less thickness means more resistance. Just like a highway with fewer lanes.

-- Thickness, length, and temperature are  internal factors that affect resistance . . . False. They affect resistance, but they're external factors.

-- When a light is first switched on the light  bulb's filament has a lower resistance  than after it gives off light for awhile . . . True. Look back 3 questions from here, where it says "Higher temperature means higher resistance".

How does the sun transmit energy from millions of miles away into the Earth system? 'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but
Leona [35]

Answer:

  • Energy from sun travels to the earth by radiation of waves.
  • Energy is the capacity to do the work whereas power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
  • Energy always transforms from higher grade to a lower grade.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.

Explanation:

The energy from the sun travels a huge distance in vacuum and atmosphere.

  • The solar energy travels to the earth in the form of electromagnetic radiations which do not require any medium of transmission and are capable of travelling in vacuum by the mode called radiation. In this mode the packets of energy get directly transmitted from the source to its surroundings. This packet of energy is called quanta.
  • Energy is the capacity to do work. Everything that we see and feel around us is some sort of energy. Every matter is the condensed form of energy the other forms that we cannot touch or feel is the wave form of energy. The wave form of energy stays in two form either stored in a mass or it is in transition. Now the concept of power arises form the energy in motion, power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer. We usually use the term power for the energy in motion.
  • We can burn a gallon of fuel only once because it undergoes a chemical change and the chemical changes are mostly permanent in nature. There is a certain direction to which the energy can  flow spontaneously. When we burn the fuel then the stored chemical energy of the fuel gets converted into heat and light and the heat energy released during the combustion of the fuel is sufficient to further provide the heat of combustion of fuel.
  • Energy always transforms from high grade to the lower grade and the converse is not possible spontaneously.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.

Help plzzz!!! I only have 10 minutes to turn in

  • The mechanic did 5406 Joules of work pushing the car.

That's the energy he put into the car.  When he stops pushing, all the energy he put into the car is now the car's kinetic energy.

  • Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

And there we have it

  • The car's mass is 3,600 kg.
  • Its speed is 'v' m/s .
  • (1/2) (mass) (v²) =  5,406 Joules

(1/2) (3600 kg) (v²) = 5406 joules

1800 kg (v²) = 5406 joules

v² = (5406 joules) / (1800 kg)

v² = (5406/1800) (joules/kg)

= = = = = This section is just to work out the units of the answer:

  • v² = (5406/1800) (Newton-meter/kg)
  • v² = (5406/1800) (kg-m²/s²  /  kg)
  • v² = (5406/1800)  (m²/s²)

= = = = =

v = √(5406/1800)  m/s

<em>v = 1.733 m/s</em>

Suppose the Sun appeared to you 900 times dimmer than it does now. How far away from the Sun would you be? (A) 1/9 AU (B) 3 AU
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c': 30 AUs

Explanation:

For a spherical wave front emitted by sun with total energy 'E' the energy density over the surface when it is at a distance 'r' from the sun is given by

e=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}

This energy per unit area is sensed by observer as intensity of the sun.

Let the initial intensity of sun at a distance r_{1} be e_{1}

Thus if the sun becomes 900 times dimmer we have

e'=\frac{e_{1}}{900}\\\\\frac{E}{4\pi r_{2}^{2}}=\frac{1}{900}\times \frac{E}{4\pi r_{1}^{2}}\\\\\Rightarrow r_{2}^{2}={r_{1}^{2}}\times 900\\\\\therefore r_{2}={r_{1}}\times {30}

Thus the distance increases 30 times.
