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.

The first-order rearrangement of CH3NC is measured to have a rate constant of 3.61 × 10–15 s–1 at 298 K and a rate constant of 8
netineya [11]

Answer:

The activation energy for this reaction, Ea = 159.98 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using the Arrhenius equation as:

ln\frac {K_2}{K_1}=-\frac {E_a}{R}\times (\frac {1}{T_2}-\frac {1}{T_1})

Where, Ea is the activation energy.

R is the gas constant having value 8.314 J/K.mol

K₂ and K₁ are the rate constants

T₂ and T₁ are the temperature values in kelvin.

Given:

K₂ = 8.66×10⁻⁷ s⁻¹ , T₂ = 425 K

K₁ = 3.61×10⁻¹⁵ s⁻¹ , T₁ = 298 K

Applying in the equation as:

ln\frac {8.66\times 10^{-7}}{3.61\times 10^{-15}}=-\frac {E_a}{8.314}\times (\frac {1}{425}-\frac {1}{298})

Solving for Ea as:

Ea = 159982.23 J /mol

1 J/mol = 10⁻³ kJ/mol

Ea = 159.98 kJ/mol

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.60 m/s. How
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Efriction = 768.23 [kJ]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Where it tells us that the energy of a system plus the work applied or performed by that system, will be equal to the energy in the final state. We have two states the initial at the time of the balloon jump and the final state when the parachutist lands.

We must identify the types of energy in each state, in the initial state there is only potential energy, since the reference level is in the ground, at the reference point the potential energy is zero. At the time of landing the parachutist will only have potential energy, since it reaches the reference level.

The friction force acts in the opposite direction to the movement, therefore it will have a negative sign.

E_{pot}-E_{friction}=E_{kin}

where:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

m = mass = 56 [kg]

h = elevation = 1400 [m]

v = velocity = 5.6 [m/s]

(56*9.81*1400)-E_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}*56*(5.6)^{2}\\769104 -E_{friction}= 878.08 \\E_{friction}=769104-878.08\\E_{friction}=768226[J] = 768.23 [kJ]

A hydraulic press has one piston of diameter 4.0 cm and the other piston of diameter 8.0 cm. What force must be applied to the s
yan [13]

Answer:

The  force is F_1  = 400.8 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first  diameter is  d_1 =  4.0 \ cm =  0.04 \ m

   The second diameter is  d_2  =  8.0 \ cm  = 0.08 \  m

   

Generally the first area is  

         A_1  =  \pi  * \frac{d^2_1 }{4}

=>      A_1  = 3.142  * \frac{0.04^2}{4}

=>       A_1  =  0.00126 \ m^2

The  second area is  

     A_2 =  \pi  * \frac{d^2_2 }{4}

     A_2  = 3.142  * \frac{0.08^2}{4}

     A_2  =  0.00503 \ m^2

For a hydraulic press the pressure at both end must be equal .

Generally  pressure is mathematically represented as

    P =  \frac{F}{A}

=>  

   \frac{F_1}{A_1 }  =  \frac{F_2}{A_2 }

=>   F_1  =  \frac{1600}{0.00503}  *  0.00126

=>    F_1  = 400.8 \  N

What are the sign and magnitude of a point charge that produces an electric potential of −2.36 V at a distance of 2.93 mm?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

q = -7.691 × 10^{-13} C

so magnitude of charge is 7.691 × 10^{-13} C

and negative sign mean charge is negative potential

Explanation:

given data

electric potential = −2.36 V

distance = 2.93 mm = 2.93 × 10^{-3} m

to find out

What are the sign and magnitude of a point charge

solution

we know here that electric potential due to charge is

V = k\frac{q}{r}       ..............................1

here k is coulomb force that is 8.99 ×10^{9} Nm²/C² and r is distance and q is charge  and V is electric potential

put here all value we get q  in equation 1

V = k\frac{q}{r}

-2.36 = 8.99*10^{9} \frac{q}{2.93*10^{-3}}

q = -7.691 × 10^{-13} C

so magnitude of charge is 7.691 × 10^{-13} C

and negative sign mean charge is negative potential
