Electric current passing through a human body can be dangerous, even fatal, depending on the amount of current, the duration of

the current, and the region of the body through which the current passes. However, currents less than about 0.5 mA are typically imperceptible. A current caused by a low potential difference typically travels through the outer layer of the skin. The resistance of the skin therefore determines how much current flows for a given potential difference. The resistance can be influenced by a number of factors, including whether the skin is wet or dry. For example, suppose an electric current of 89.0 µA follows a path through the thumb and index finger. When the skin is dry, the resistance along this path is 4.70 ✕ 105 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for this current, in the case of dry skin? V When the skin is wet, the resistance is lowered to 2,200 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for the same current, in the case of wet skin? V

Answer:

V for dry skin = 41.83 volts

V for wet skin = 0.196 volts

Explanation:

The relationship between current and voltage is given as follows by Ohm's Law:

V = IR

where,

V = voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

FOR DRY SKIN:

V = Vd = ?

I = 89 μA = 89 x 10⁻⁶ A

R = 4.7 x 10⁵ Ω

Therefore,

Vd = (89 x 10⁻⁶ A)(4.7 x 10⁵ Ω)

<u>Vd = 41.83 volts</u>

FOR WET SKIN:

V = Vw = ?

I = 89 μA = 89 x 10⁻⁶ A

R = 2200 Ω

Therefore,

Vd = (89 x 10⁻⁶ A)(2200 Ω)

<u>Vd = 0.196 volts</u>

you add equal amounts of heat to two identical cylinders containing equal amounts of the same ideal gas. cylinder a is allowed t
OleMash [197]

Temperature rise will be there in cylinder B more than in cylinder A because of internal energy.

what is internal energy?

The sum of the kinetic and chemical potential energies of all the particles in the system is the internal energy. Particles accelerate and pick up kinetic energy when energy is applied to increase the temperature.

Briefing:

Cylinder A uses the heat it absorbs to both work while expanding and to increase internal energy (or temperature).

While cylinder B solely uses the heat it absorbs to increase its internal energy 

As a result, cylinder B's temperature rise is greater than cylinder A's.

A train is travelong at 22 m/s when the condutor gets a radio call about a car stalled on the tracks. He hits the emergancy brak
mylen [45]

Answer:

final velocity = 0

because the train stoped

so,

  • acceleration = (v - u) ÷ t
  • acceleration = (0 - 22) ÷ 135
  • acceleration = -22 ÷ 135

  • acceleration = -0.162 m/s²

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1. 5 second
madreJ [45]

The force involved is = 25200 Newton

Given the values in the questions,

Mass = 1400 kg

Speed or velocity of the car = 27 m/s

Time is given = 1.5 seconds

According to the formula of force,

⇒ Force = Mass x Acceleration

⇒ Force = 1400 x Acceleration ----- equation 1

Now to calculate the value of acceleration we will use,

⇒ Acceleration = (Velocity or Speed) / Time

⇒ Acceleration = 27 / 1.5

⇒ Acceleration = 18 m/s^{2}

Putting the value of acceleration in equation 1,

⇒ Force = 1400 x 18

⇒ Force = 25200 Newton

Therefore, the force involved is = 25200 Newton
