A wire of Nichrome (a nickel-chromium-iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.3 m long and 1.6 mm2 in cross-sectional

area. It carries a current of 3.2 A when a 2.0 V potential difference is applied between its ends. Calculate the conductivity σ of Nichrome. /Ω · m

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

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.
