Answer:

the thermistor temperature = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C

Explanation:

Given that:

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.

i.e Temperature

T_1 = 100^0C\\T_1 = (100+273)K\\\\T_1 = 373\ K

Resistance of the thermistor R_1 = 20,000 ohms

Material constant \beta = 3650

Resistance of the thermistor R_2 = 500 ohms

Using the equation :

R_1 = R_2  \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

\frac{R_1}{ R_2} =   \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

Taking log of both sides

In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = In \  \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = {\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

\frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}} = (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

\frac{1}{T_2} =   \frac{1}{T_1}  -          \frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}}

{T_2} =  \frac{\beta T_1}{\beta - In (\frac{R_1}{R_2})T}

Replacing our values into the above equation :

{T_2} =  \frac{3650*373}{3650 - In (\frac{20000}{500})373}

{T_2} =  \frac{1361450}{3650 - 3.6888*373}

{T_2} =  \frac{1361450}{3650 - 1375.92}

{T_2} =  \frac{1361450}{2274.08}

{T_2} = 598.68 \ K

{T_2} = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C

Thus, the thermistor temperature = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C

What are the divisions within a shell called
blsea [12.9K]
The divisions within an atom's shell are called subshells. This means that each shell consists of several subshells that are made up of orbitals. Each orbital consists of 1 or 2 electrons. The outermost shell of an atom is what we call the valence electrons, and they are what participate in chemical bonding.

Answer:

Explanation:

These tectonic plates rest upon the convecting mantle, which causes them to move. The movements of these plates can account for noticeable geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and more subtle yet sublime events, like the building of mountains.

Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block
Korvikt [17]

Newton's second law we can find that the correct answer is:  

 E)  It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Newton's second law establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of a body. Since force and acceleration are vector quantities, their components must be added on each axis

For this problem we have two bodies, let's write Newton's second law for the body B, we assume that the body B descends

            W_b - T = m_b a

            W_b  = m_b g

            m_b - T = m_b a

Where W_b is the weight of block B, T the tension of the string, mb the mass of block b and the acceleration

Now let's find the relation for block A

let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the ramp

           T - Wₓ = mₐ a

           sin θ = Wₓ / W

            Wₓ = Wₐ sin θ

             Wₐ = mₐ g

Where Wₓ is the component of the weight, Wₐ the weight of the body A and θ the angle of the plane

Let's write our system of equations

           m_b g - T = m_b a

           T - mₐ g sin θ = mₐ a

let's add the equations

            g (m_b - mₐ sin θ) = (m_b + mₐ) a

            a =   \frac{m_b - m_a \ sin  \ \theta}{m_b+m_a} \ g

Let's analyze this expression

  • The numerator is positive the body B descends, this occurs when

          m_b - mₐ sin θ > 0

           

  • The numerator is negative, body B rises

           m_b - mₐ  sin θ <0

We can observe that the acceleration is positive or negative depending on the relation of the masses and the angle of the plane.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we find that the correct answer is  

 E )   It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

A 1000-kg car moving at 10 m/s brakes to a stop in 5 s. the average braking force is
Marina86 [1]
To calcculate the braking force of the car moving, we use Newton's second law of motion which relates the acceleration and the force of an object moving. The force of an object moving is directly proportional to its acceleration and the proportionality constant is the mass of the object. It is expressed as:

Force = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving object. We calculate acceleration from the velocity and the time given above.

a = (10 m/s) / 5 s = 2 m/s^2

So,
Force = ma
Force = 1000 kg ( 2 m/s^2 )
Force = 2000 kg m/s^2 or 2000 N
