Answer:

Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Superconductors are resistance free materials that enable (allow) <u>electricity conduction (i.e. electron transportation between atoms)</u>.

As the superconductor temperature is gradually lowered, eventually a Critical Temperature is reached, where the <u>superconductor electrical resistivity</u> suddenly drops to zero. Such drop is so fast, that can be described as a complete matter-phase transition. This is in contrast with typical conductors,<em> where with gradually decreasing temperature there is also a gradually decreasing resistivity (which is also true at temperatures of near absolute zero). </em>

Thus the correct answer is the Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

A vacuum tube can be used to__. A. change alternating current into direct current B. increase the strength of a signal.. C. turn
vesna_86 [32]

The correct answer of this question is :  A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or 87.5 x10^{-3}A

b). 1.78 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\  I=87.5 x10^{-3}A

b).

I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A

A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2}  \\A=5.309x10^{-6}

V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}

A cyclist is coasting at 15 m/s when she starts down a 450 m long slope that is 30 m high. The cyclist and her bicycle have a co
Flura [38]

Answer:

Her speed at the bottom of the slope is 25.665 m/s

Explanation:

Here we have

Initial velocity, v₁= 15 m/s

Final velocity = v₂

The energy balance present in the system can be represented as

\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - mgh = W

Where:

m = Mass of the cyclist = 70 kg

W = work done by the drag force = -F_Dd

Where:

d = Distance traveled = 450 m

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - mgh = -F_Dd and

v_2^2 =\frac{ \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + mgh  -F_Dd}{ \frac{1}{2}m}  = v_1^2 + 2gh -\frac{   2F_Dd}{ m} = 15^2 + 2\times 9.8\times 30 - \frac{2\times 12\times 450}{70}

= 658.714 m²/s²

v₂ = 25.665 m/s

Her speed at the bottom of the slope = 25.665 m/s.
