A carbon resistor is 4 mm long and has a constant cross section of 0.2 mm2. The conductivity of carbon at room temperature is 3

× 104 per ohm·m. In a circuit its potential at one end of the resistor is 12 volts relative to ground, and at the other end the potential is 16 volts. Calculate the resistance and the current .

Answer:

The resistance is found to be 6Ω

The current is found to be 0.66 A

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor in terms of its dimensions is given as:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = resistance = ?

ρ = resistivity = 3 x 10⁴ Ω.m

L = Length = 4 mm = 0.004 m

A = Cross-sectional area = 0.2 mm² = 0.2 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Therefore,

R = (3 x 10⁴ Ω.m)(0.004 m)/(0.2 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

<u>R = 6 Ω</u>

Now, the potential difference between both ends of the resistor is:

ΔV = 16 V - 12 V = 4 V

Now, from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 4 V/ 6 Ω

<u>I = 0.66 A</u>

Answer:

The speed with which the man flies forward is 5.5 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the man = 100 kg

The mass of the scooter = 10 kg

The speed with which the man was traveling on the scooter = 5 m/s

The speed of the scooter after it hits the rock = 0 m/s

Let v represent the speed with which the man flies forward

The formula for momentum, P, is P = Mass × Velocity

The conservation of linear momentum principle is, the total initial momentum = The total final momentum, therefore, we have;

The total initial momentum = (100 kg + 10 kg) × 5 m/s = 550 kg·m/s

The total final momentum = 100 kg × v + 10 kg × 0 m/s = 100 kg × v

When the momentum is conserved, we have;

550 kg·m/s = 100 kg × v

∴ v = 550 kg·m/s/(100 kg) = 5.5 m/s.

The speed with which the man flies forward = v = 5.5 m/s

the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?
pychu [463]
The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons.

The Neutrons does not have a charge.

The Protons are positively charge.

Hence the charge on the Nucleus, would be the charge of the proton, which is positive.

Hence Nucleus is Positively Charged.
