Salt water offers the least electrical resistance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Least electrical resistance indicates that any material which readily allows the electric current through itself, and shows more conductivity.

Here pure water doesn't contain any ions, so it is a bad conductor.

Wood and glass are also bad conductors of electricity.

Salt water contains ions, which conducts electricity which means it shows least electrical resistance.

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

A well-insulated bucket of negligible heat capacity contains 129 g of ice at 0°C.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The final equilibrium temperature of the system is $T = 12.48^oC$

For the ice it would melt completely the mass that would remain is Zero

Explanation:

In the following question we are provided with

Mass of the ice $M_{i}$ = 129 g = 0.129 kg

Mass of the steam $M_s$ = 19 g = 0.019 kg

Initial temperature is $T_i$ = 0°C

Temperature of steam $T_s$ = 100°C

Following the change of state of water in the question

The energy required by ice to change to water is mathematically given as

$Q_A = M_iL_f$

Where $L_f$ is a constant known as heat of fusion and the value is $334*10^3 J/kg$

$Q_A = 0.129 *334 *10^3 = 43086 J$

The energy been released when the steam changes to water is mathematically given as

$Q_B = M_s * L_v$

Where $L_v$ is a constant known as heat of vaporization and the value is $2256*10^3J/kg$

$Q_B = 0.019 * 2256*10^3 = 42864J$

The energy released when the temperature of water decrease from 100°C to 0°C is

$Q_C = M_s *C_water ($ 100°C)

Where $C_{water}$ is the specific heat of water which has a value $4186J/kg \cdot K$

$Q_C = 0.019 *4186*100 = 7953.4$

Looking at the values we obtained we noticed that ]

$Q_B + Q_C > Q_A$

What this means is that the ice will melt

bearing in mind the conservation of energy

looking the way at which water at different temperature were mixed according to the question

Heat lossed by the vapor = heat gained by ice

$Q_B + M_s *C_{water}(100-T) = Q_A + M_i C_{water} T$

$T = \frac{Q_B+M_s *C_{water}(100^oC)-Q_A}{(M_s *C_{water})+(M_i*C_{water})}$

$T = \frac{42864+7953.4-43086}{(0.019+0.129)(4186)}$

$T = 12.48^oC$
