Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance of the tungsten wire

R = resistivity x length / cross sectional area

= \frac{5.25\times10^{-8}\times16\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(.5\times10^{-3})^2}

= 107 x 10⁻⁴ ohm

Resistance at 120 degree can be obtained from the following formula

R_t = R_0( 1 + \alpha\times t )

R_t = 107\times10^{-4}( 1 + .0045\times 100)

= 155.15 x 10⁻⁴ ohm

= 160 x 10⁻⁴ ohm ( rounding off to two syg fig )

current = 12.5

potential diff = 12.5 x 155.15 x 10⁻⁴ V

=  0 .1939 V

= .19 V

required electric field = potential diff / length of wire

= .1939 / 16 x 10⁻²

= 1.2 N / C

Answer:

a) maximum electric field in this filament is 1.26 V/m

b) resistance with that field is 0.016 ohms (using two significant figures).

c) 0.2016 V is the maximum potential drop over the full length of the filament.

Explanation:

a)

E max is at higher temperature

p(120) = p(20)(1+α(T-T₀))

p(120) = 7.61x10⁻⁸

E = pJ = p(i/A)

  ⇒7.61×10⁻⁸ (13 / 3.14×0.0005²) = 1.26 V/m

b)

R = pL/A ⇒ pL/πr²

R = [7.61×10⁻⁸×0.16] ÷ [3.14×0.5²×10⁻⁶] = 0.0155 ohm

c)

V = Ed

⇒ 1.26 × 0.16 = 0.2016 V

How large a force F is needed in the figure to pull out the 6.0 kg block with an acceleration of 1.50m/s^2 if the coefficient of
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

32.52 N

Explanation:

F-F' = ma.................. Equation 1

Where F = Force needed to pull the block, m = mass of the block, a = acceleration of the block, F' = Frictional force of the surface acting on the blcok

F = ma+F'

But,

F' = μmg

Where g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of static friction

F = ma+μmg.................... Equation 2

Given: m = 6.0 kg, a = 1.5 m/s², μ = 0.40

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

F = 6(1.5)+6(9.8)(0.4)

F = 9+23.52

F = 32.52 N

Which of these is most likely a characteristic of a parent isotope before it releases radioactive particles?
velikii [3]
The correct option is D.
Isotopic substances typically have unstable nuclei and that is why they disintegrate in order to become stable. During the process of disintegration, the nucleus of the unstable substance will be split into two smaller fragments, which are more stable that the parent isotope. This disintegration may also be accompanied by radiations.

Which radioisotope is used in dating geological formations?
ziro4ka [17]
<h2>Answer: U-238</h2>

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that for radioactive geological dating (also called radioisotope dating) in which radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when the fossil materials were formed, it is very useful to compare it with a naturally occurring radioisotope having a known half-life.

Now, taking into account that the <u>fossils are millions and millions of years old, radioisotopes are needed that exceed this measure. </u>

To understand it better:

The longer the half-life of a radioisotope, the greater its utility for estimating fossil ages or geological formations.

In this sense, uranium-238 (U238) has a half-life of 4,470 million years, therefore, it is among the most commonly used radioisotopes for fossil and geological dating.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

0.1531

Explanation:

a=1.5m/s^2

if you look at the image above let's assume that the object is on an inclined plane.

but because this object is on the ground, the angle is 0

a=g(sin0-ucos0)

a= -ug

-1.5= -u× 9.8

coefficient of friction= 1.5/9.8=0.1531
