Answer:

5.93 m

Explanation:

The carbon rod has a radius of 2.1 mm; it can be converted to meter by

1 m = 1000 mm

1 m ÷1000 = 1 mm

2.1 mm = 2.1 × 1 mm = 2.1 ×1÷1000 m = 0.0021 m

using the formula for resistance of a wire

R = ρl÷A, where R is the resistance of the carbon rod in ohms, ρ is resistivity in ohms.m, l is the length of the rod and A is the cross sectional area in m².

A = π r²

Make l the subject of the formula by cross multiplying

RA = ρl

divide both side by ρ

RA÷ρ = ρl÷ρ

RA÷ρ = l

substitute the values in

13.7 × 0.0021 × 0.0021 × 3.142 ÷ 3.2 × 10^-5 = 5.93 m

When you look at green dots with a red filter what color did you see?
Dimas [21]
-- Looking at the dots casually, they look green because they absorb all other
colors of light, and only green light is left to proceed to your eyes. (In order for
this to work, there has to be some green in the light shining on the dots.
Daylight and most light bulbs work fine.)

-- The filter looks red because it absorbs all other colors of light, and only
the red light is left to pass through the filter and come out on the other side.

-- When the green light from the dots hits the red filter, it's absorbed in the
filter, and there's no light left to come out on the other side.

If you're looking through the filter at the dots, they look <em>black</em>.

HELP
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The velocity is 60 km/hr.

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given:</u></h3>

Displacement (d) = 480 km = 48000 m

Time (t) = 8 Hours = 480 minute

Velocity (v) = ?

Now,

Velocity = Displacement ÷ Time

v = d/t

v = 480/8

v = 60 km/hr

Thus, The velocity is 60 km/hr.

A proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

a snail can move approximately 0.30 meters per minute.How many meters can the snail cover in 15 minutes ?
hichkok12 [17]
Sometimes if you have the word per, you need to multiply. In this problem, they are asking you to find the amount of meters a snail can travel per minute.They are giving you the amount of minutes, so in this case you multiply 15 times 0.30. The answer is 4.5 meters.
