Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.

The motion of a particle is described by the position function s(t) = 2t - 15t +33t+17,t>0 , where is measured in seconds and

8090 [49]

The time when the particle is at rest is at 1.63 s or 3.36 s.

The velocity is positive at when the time of motion is at $0$ .

The total distance traveled in the first 10 seconds is 847 m.

<h3>When is a particle at rest?</h3>

A particle is at rest when the initial velocity of the particle is zero.

The time when the particle is at rest is calculated as follows;

s(t) = 2t³ - 15t² + 33t + 17

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 6t^2 -30t + 33\\\\at \ rest, \ v = 0\\\\6t^2 - 30t + 33 = 0\\\\6(t- \frac{5}{2} )^2- \frac{9}{2} = 0\\\\t = 1.63\ s \ \ or \ 3.36 \ s$

The velocity is positive at when the time of motion is as follows;

$0$ .

The total distance traveled in the first 10 seconds is calculated as follows;

$2(10)^3 - 15(10)^2 + 33(10) + 17 = 847 \ m$

A current flowing through you of more than 5 ma is considered dangerous. Why do we see warnings about high voltage, rather than

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

V = 500 volts

I = 50 nA

Explanation:

We usually see 'high voltage' sign rather than 'high current' this is due to the fact that the amount of current depends upon the resistance of the body,

The relation of voltage, current and resistance is given by Ohm's law,

V = IR

I = V/R

As you can see, current and resistance are inversely related, the lower the resistance of the body, the higher will be the current flowing through the body.

What voltages are dangerous even if the skin is dry?

A dry human body has a resistance of approximately 100 kΩ and it gets reduced if the body is wet.

For a current of 5 mA, the corresponding voltage is,

V = 0.005*100,000

V = 500 volts

Therefore, for a dry human body, a voltage of 500 volts would be dangerous.

If voltage differences that are observed are about 0.5 mV, and the resistance of the skin is about 10 kΩ, what size currents are involved?

I = V/R

I = 0.0005/10,000

I = 50×10⁻⁹ A

I = 50 nA

Therefore, a current of 50 nA would be flowing through the EEG.
