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

Assume that the operating cost of a certain truck (excluding driver's wages) is 12+x/6 cents per mile when the truck travels at
podryga [215]

Answer:

x = 60 mph

Explanation:

Given that the operating cost is

c = 12 + \frac{x}{6} cents per mile

total miles covered is given as

d = 400 miles

so total cost of drive is given as

C = (12 + \frac{x}{6})(4) $

time taken by the truck to move the distance is given as

t = \frac{400}{x}

So total earnings of the driver is given as

E = \frac{400}{x} \times 6 $

now total profit of the driver is given as

P = \frac{2400}{x} - (48 + \frac{2x}{3}) $

to maximize the profit we have

\frac{dP}{dx} = 0

-\frac{2400}{x^2} + \frac{2}{3} = 0

so we have

x = 60 mph

Can rock undergo compression, tension, and shear stress all at once?<br> explain
Katena32 [7]
This causes reverse faults<span>, which are the reverse of </span>normal faults<span>, because in this case, the hanging wall slides upward relative to the footwall. Shear </span>stress<span> is when rock slabs slide past each other horizontally.

Part of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere about ___ actually reaches the earth's surface
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

48%

Explanation:

The earth's temperature has to be stable and this is the reason for the presence of incoming and outgoing heat. Of the solar energy reaching the atmosphere, about 29% is bounced back as reflected radiation by clouds, snow and particles in the atmosphere, about 23% is absorbed by the atmosphere and about 48% actually gets to the earth surface.
