Answer: 1.3 *10^6 Ω*m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following expression for the resistence:

R=L/(σ*A) where L and A are the length and teh area for the wire, respectively. σ is the conductivity of teh Nichrome.

Then, from mteh OHM law we have V=R*I so R=V/I=2/3.2=0.625 Ω

Finally we have:

σ=L/(R*A)=1.3/(0.625*1.6*10^-6)=1.3*10^6 Ω*m

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Total energy is 170 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg

melting point of alcohol is -114 degree c

specific heat us 0.60 k cal/kg degree c

energy need for 2 kg solid alcohol is

for Melting:

Energy Q is calculated as

Energy, Q = 25 \times 2.0 kg = 50 kJ

Energy required for Heating liquid:

Energy, ΔH = 2.0 kg \times 0.60 \times (100°C) = 120 kJ

Total  energy = (50 kJ + 120 kJ) = 170 kJ

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?
alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s

A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides . What is the total surface area of th
Stels [109]

Complete Question

Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?

A) 33 m2  

B) 86 m2

C) 52 m2

D)  34 m2

Answer:

The value is  Area  =2.78 \   m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sides are  a =  2.4 m

                             b  =  2.3 m

                             c  =  1.5 m

Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

           s = \frac { a + b  + c  }{2 }

=>       s = \frac { 2.4  + 2.3  + 1.5   }{2 }

=>       s =3.1  \  m

Generally the using Heron's  formula we have that the  surface are a is  mathematically represented as

            Area  =  \sqrt{S (S -  a) (S - b )(S - c ) }

=>         Area  =  \sqrt{3.1  (3.1  -   2.4) (3.1  -  2.3 )(3.1  -  1.5 ) }

=>        Area  =2.78 \   m^2

A student at another university repeats the experiment you did in lab. Her target ball is 0.860 m above the floor when it is in
dexar [7]

Answer:

K = 0.076 J

Explanation:

The height of the target, h = 0.860  m

The mass of the steel ball, m = 0.0120 kg

Distance moved, d = 1.50 m

We need to find the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck. Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put all the values,

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 0.860 }{9.8}} \\\\=0.418\ s

The velocity of the ball is :

v=\dfrac{1.5}{0.418}\\\\= $$3.58\ m/s

The kinetic energy of the ball is :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0120\times 3.58^2\\\\=0.076\ J

So, the required kinetic energy is 0.076 J.
