R = 0.407Ω.

The resistance  R of a particular conductor is related to the resistivity ρ of the material by  the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the material resistivity, L is the length of the material and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the material.

To calculate the resistance R of a wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m, the length of the wire is 2.5m and its diameter is 0.50mm.

We have to use the equation R = ρL/A but first we have to calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire which is a circle. So, the area of a circle is given by A = πr², with r = d/2. The cross-sectional area of the wire is A = πd²/4.  Then:

R =[(3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m)(2.5m)]/[π(0.5x10⁻³m)²/4]

R = 8x10⁻⁸Ω.m²/1.96x10⁻⁷m²

R = 0.407Ω

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 195 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an
ddd [48]

Answer:

Al's mass is 102.92  kg  

Explanation:

As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:

F_{net} = 0

As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

F_{net} = \frac{dp_{horizontal}}{dt} = 0

p_{horizontal_i }= p_{horizontal_f}

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.

The initial momentum will be:

p_{horizontal_}i = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_i} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_i}

But, as they are at rest, initially

p_{horizontal_i} = m_{Al} * 0 + m_{Jo} * 0

p_{horizontal_i} = 0

So, this means:

p_{horizontal_f} = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_f} = 0

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:

m_{total} = m_{Al} + m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg.

so:

m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg - m_{Al}.

m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + (195 \ kg - m_{Al}) \ v_{Jo_f} = 0

m_{Al} \  v_{Al_f} - m_{Al} \  v_{Jo_f}= - 195 \ kg \  v_{Jo_f}

m_{Al} \ (v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f})= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}

m_{Al} = \frac{ - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } {  v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f} }

m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg  \ v_{Jo_f} } {    v_{Jo_f} - v_{Al_f} }

Now, we can use the values:

v_{Al_f}= 10.2 \frac{m}{s}

v_{Jo_f}= - 11.4 \frac{m}{s}

where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions

m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg  ( - 11.4 \frac{m}{s} ) } {   (- 11.4 \frac{m}{s}) - 10.2 \frac{m}{s} }

m_{Al} = 102.92 \ kg

and this is the Al's mass.

When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.
