You are given a copper bar of dimensions 3 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm and asked to attach leads to it in order to make a resistor. (a) If

you want to achieve the SMALLEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure A) 3 cm × 5 cm. B) 3 cm × 8 cm. C) 5 cm × 8 cm. D) Any pair of faces produces the same resistance. (b) If you want to achieve the LARGEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure A) 3 cm × 5 cm. B) 3 cm × 8 cm. C) 5 cm × 8 cm. D) Any pair of faces produces the same resistance.

Answer:

A) If you want to achieve the SMALLEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure b) 5 cm by 8 cm.

B) If you want to achieve the LARGEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure a) 3 cm × 5 cm

Explanation:

Resistivity is directly proportional to lenght and inversely properly to cross sectional area.

For the first case, 5 cm by 8 cm gives the largest area and leave 3 cm as the lenght. The resistivity of the metal will be smallest in these dimensions.

For the second case, 3 cm by 5 cm gives the smallest area, leaving 8 cm as the lenght. This is the maximum arrangement that can give the largest resistance possible.

I need ideas of what kind of simple motor i can build and how i can build it. The simple motor MUST spin without using your own
Alborosie

See for yourself how the forces of electricity and magnetism can work together by building a simple DC electric motor using simple materials you can find in any hardware store!

Electricity and magnetism are both forces caused by the movement of tiny charged particles that make up atoms, the building blocks of all matter. When a wire is hooked up to a battery, current flows through the wire because negatively charged electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery toward the positive terminal of the battery because opposite charges attract each other, while similar charges repel each other. This flow of electrons through the wire is an electric current, and it produces a magnetic field.

In a magnet, atoms are lined up so that the negatively charged electrons are all spinning in the same direction. Like an electric current, the movement of the electrons creates a magnetic force. The area around the magnet where the force is active is called a magnetic field. Metal objects and other magnets that enter this field will be pulled toward the magnet.

The way the atoms are lined up creates two different poles in the magnet, a north pole and a south pole. As with electrical charges, opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other.

Learn about electromagnetism and its many uses here.

Now let's watch it work as we build a motor.

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega

Capacitance, C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

\tau=R\times C

\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}

\tau=0.105\ s

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg

A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?
Fofino [41]

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m

<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
