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.

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.  

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface

In a recent experiment, anti-bacterial hand sanitizer was compared to hand soap. Students washed their hands using the sanitizer
Elden [556K]
<span>B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria.</span>

Looking at the data, the conclusion is pretty obvious, the two different types of soap resulted in about half the bacteria cultures as either the hand sanitizer, or just using warm water. In fact, the hand sanitizer looks like it's even worse than simply using warm water. So looking at the four available options, the best choice is "B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria."

The compressor on an air conditioner draws 66.1 a when it starts up. the start-up time is about 0.388 s. how much charge passes
Ierofanga [76]
The current intensity is defined as the amount of charge flowing through a certain point of a wire divided by the time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where Q is the charge and \Delta t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we have
Q=I \Delta t

for the compressor in our problem, the intensity of current is I=66.1 A, while the time is \Delta t= 0.388 s, so the amount of charge that crosses a certain point of the circuit during this time is
Q=I \Delta t=(66.1 A)(0.388 s)=25.65 C
