Answer and Explanation:

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCY ON ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF METALS : Metals are good conductors of electricity but when we increase the temperature the free electrons of metals collide with each other due to heat.There collision become very fast and so the resistance increases and so the electrical conductivity of metals decreases on increasing temperature.

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCY ON ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF SEMICONDUCTOR : The electrical conductivity of semiconductor is mainly sue to presence of impurities and defects as the temperature increases the impurities and defects also increases so the electrical conductivity of semiconductor increases on increasing temperature.

garri49 [273]

The largest tensile force that can be applied to the cables given a rod with diameter 1.5 is 2013.15lb

<h3>The static equilibrium is given as:</h3>

F = P (Normal force)

Formula for moment at section

M = P(4 + 1.5/2)

= 4.75p

Solve for the cross sectional area

Area = $\frac{\pi d^{2} }{4}$

d = 1.5

$\frac{\pi *1.5^{2} }{4}$

= 1.767 inches²

<h3>Solve for inertia</h3>

$\frac{\pi *0.75^4}{4}$

= 0.2485inches⁴

Solve for the tensile force from here

$\frac{F}{A} +\frac{Mc}{I}$

30x10³ = $\frac{P}{1.767} +\frac{4.75p*0.75}{0.2485} \\\\$

30000 = 14.902 p

divide through by 14.902

2013.15 = P

The nuclear reactions resulting from thermal neutron absorption in boron and cadmium are 10B5 + 1 n0 ï 7Li3 + 4He2 113Cd48 + 1

kirill115 [55]

Solution :

The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

$^{10}\textrm{B}_5 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{7}\textrm{Li}_3 + ^{4}\textrm{He}_2$

And the reaction for Cadmium is :

$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$

We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Option A, B and D

Explanation:

Jack can easily convince boss if he focus around two major aspects of the company

a) Revenue enhancement - Jack must outline the benefits of his research that can be used to improvise customer offerings and hence can be further used to devise more energy-efficient options to customer

b) Reduction in mistakes - Issues such as poor implementation can be avoided with better approach and understanding.

Hence, option A, B and D are correct

A large steel tower is to be supported by a series of steel wires; it is estimated that the load on each wire will be 19,000N. D

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

11.6 mm

Explanation:

With a factor of safety of 5 and a yield strength of 900 MPa the admissible stress is:

σadm = strength / fos

σadm = 900 / 5 = 180 MPa

The stress is the load divided by the section:

σ = P / A

σ = 4*P / (π*d^2)

Rearranging:

d^2 = 4*P / (π*σ)

$d = \sqrt{4*P / (\pi*\sigma)}$

$d = \sqrt{4*19000 / (\pi*180*10^6)} = 0.0116 m = 11.6 mm$

Explanation:

There's even a equation if you wanted to check this out but, if they are the same generator same model and all and made the same precise noise it wouldn't increase more then 3db.
