A scientist in a lab would like to determine if an object conducts electricity. How could he test this ?

A. <u>Place the object on a source of heat</u>, and measure the time it take to heat up.  <em>No.  This would  tell him how well the object conducts heat, but not electricity. </em>

B. <u>Float the object in water.</u>  <em>No.  This would tell him the object's density, and also maybe how well it can absorb water, but nothing about conducting electricity. </em>

<em>C. Include the object in a circuit,</em> and check to see if the circuit still works.  <em>YES !</em><em>  If the circuit still works, then the object conducts electricity.  If it doesn't then it doesn't. </em>

D. <u>Weight the object</u> before and after refrigeration.  <em>No.  This doesn't tell him much of anything ... there's no reason why the object should weigh more or weigh less when it's warm or cold.​</em>

Assuming that 70 percent of the Earth’s surface
Aneli [31]
We need to find the volume of a spherical shell with a radius of
6.37 million meters and a thickness of 0.95 mile.

The technically correct way to do this is to find the volume of the
outside of the shell, then find the volume of the inside of the shell,
and subtract the inside volume from the outside volume.  That's
the REAL way to do it.

But look.  This 'shell' (the 0.95 mile of water) is only about  1530 meters thick,
on a sphere with a radius of 6.37 million meters.  The depth of the water is like
0.024 percent of the radius !  There's not a whole lot of difference between the
sphere outside the water and the sphere inside it.

So I want to do this problem the easier way ... Let's say that the volume
of the water is going to be

                  (the surface area that it covers on the Earth)
         times
                  (the thickness of the coating of water) .

The area of a sphere is  4 pi Radius² .
That's
                         (4 pi) x (6.37 x 10⁶ m)²

                   =    (4 pi) x (40.58 x 10¹² m²)

We're only interested in 70% of the total surface area.

                   =   (0.7) x (4 pi) x (40.58 x 10¹²) m²

                   =            3.57 x 10¹⁴  square meters of Earth's surface.

The volume of the water covering that area is

               (the area) times (average depth of 0.95 mile) .

We have to change that 0.95 mile to meters.
The question reminds us that                         1 mile = 1609 meters .    
So the volume of the water is

                      (the area) times (0.95 x 1609 meters).

But we're not there yet.  The question isn't asking for the volume.
It's asking for the mass of the water. 
We're ready to get the volume in cubic meters.
We're supposed to know that each cubic meter is 1,000 liters,
   and the mass of 1 liter of water is 1 kilogram.
So each cubic meter of volume is 1,000 kilograms of mass.

Now we're ready to dump all the numbers into the machine and
turn the crank.  The mass of all this water will be

         (the surface area) x (0.95 x 1609 meters) x (1,000 kg/m³)   

  =    (3.57 x 10¹⁴  m²)  x   (1528.6 m)  x  (1,000 kg/m³)

  =            5.457 x 10²⁰ kilograms .

This is my answer, and I'm stickin to it.

But ... just like all the other problems you get in high school, the
answer doesn't matter.  The teacher doesn't need the answer,
and YOU don't need the answer.  The reason you got this problem
for an assignment is to give you practice in HOW TO FIND the
answer ... how to plan what you're going to do with the problem,
and then how to carry it out.

I don't know how much effort you put into this problem, but somewhere
along the way, you chickened out and posted it on Brainly.  So far, the
result of that decision was:  The person who got all the practice was ME.
I got the good stuff, and all YOU got was the answer.

I hope my work is clear enough that you can go through it, and pick up
some of the good stuff for yourself.

Two parallel wires are separated by 6.10 cm, each carrying 2.85 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The force per unit length is 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

Explanation:

The current carrying by each wires = 2.85 A

The current in both wires flows in same direction.

The gap between the wires = 6.10 cm

Now we will use the below expression for the force per unit length. Moreover, before using the below formula we have to change the unit centimetre into meter. So, we just divide the centimetre with 100.

F/l = \frac{\mu _0i_1 i_2}{2\pi d} \\i_1 = 2.85 \\i_ 2 = 2.85  \\\mu _0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \\d = 0.061 \\F/l = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2.85 \times 2.85}{2 \pi \times 0.061} \\= 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

Explanation:

Use distance formula

\displaystyle d=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

u= \text{\sf  initial velocity}\\d= \text{\sf  distance}\\a= \text{\sf  acceleration}\\t= \text{\sf  time taken}

\displaystyle 18=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^2

If the v – t graph of a particle is parallel to the t – axis the body has (a) uniform velocity (b) uniform acceleration (c) zero
maxonik [38]

Answer:

zero  velocity

Explanation:

if the v-t graph is parallel to the time axis its mean body has covered no path in other words the body is at rest so the velocity of the body should be zero
