Answer:

Technician B is correct

Explanation:

Freezing is a method of conversion of substance in its liquid state to solid state. It is the process by which a liquid substance changes to a solid at a particular temperature.

Increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature of a liquid increases its freezing point. For example, in other to freeze water i.e to change water to ice, it has to be kept in a fridge at a temperature lower than the temperature of the water. The essence of covering the fridge after placing the water in the fridge is to increase the pressure of the liquid hence increasing its freezing rate.

Based on the above explanation, it can be concluded that technician B is correct.

. While a person lifts a book of mass 2 kg from the floor to a tabletop, 1.5 m above the floor, how much work does the the perso
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a) 29.4 J

b) - 29.4 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the book, m = 2 kg

Height above the floor, h = 1.5 m

Now,

the work done by the person will be = Force applied on the book × displacement of the book

thus,

Work done by the person = mg × h

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

thus, on substituting the values, we get

Work done by the person = 2 × 9.8 × 1.5 = 29.4 J

now,

for the force applied by the gravitational pull (downwards) the displacement is in opposite direction (upwards) to the force of the gravity.

Thus,

work done by the gravity will be negative

therefore, the work done by the gravity = - mg × h

or

work done by the gravity = - 29.4 J

The rectangular plates in a parallel-plate capacitor are 0.063 m x 5.4 m. A distance of 3.5 x 10^-5m separate the plates. The pl
Aleks04 [339]

The capacitance of the capacitor is 1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the equation

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the medium

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have:

k = 2.1 is the dielectric constant

d=3.5\cdot 10^{-5}m is the separation between the plates

A=0.063m \cdot 0.054m = 0.0034 m^2 (I assumed that 5.4 m is a typo, since it is not a realistic size for the side of the plate)

Therefore, the capacitance of the  capacitor is

C=\frac{(2.1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0034)}{3.5\cdot 10^{-5}}=1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F

Suppose the price elasticity of supply for gasoline in the short run is estimated to be 0.4. Due to an unexpected surge in the d
netineya [11]

Answer:

increase by 8 percent

Explanation:

<em>Price elasticity of supply of a product is the degree of responsiveness of supply of that product to a change in price.</em> Simply put:

Price Elasticity of supply = change in quantity supply/ change in price.

In this case, price elasticity of supply of gasoline = 0.4

Percentage price increase = 20 percent.

Hence,

           0.4 = change in supply/20

           Change in supply = 20 x 0.4 = 8 percent

<em>Therefore, the quantity supply of gasoline will increase by 8 percent</em>

A certain copper wire has a resistance of 13.0 Ω . At some point along its length the wire was cut so that the resistance of one
alekssr [168]

Answer with Explanation:

Let r be the resistance of short piece of copper wire.

Resistance of copper wire=R=13\Omega

Resistance is directly proportional to length.

If a wire has greater resistance then,the wire will be greater in length.

Therefore,resistance of long piece of wire=7r

Total resistance of copper  wire=Sum of resistance of two piece of wires

r+7r=13

8r=13

r=\frac{13}{8}ohm

Resistance of long piece of wire=7\times\frac{13}{8}=\frac{91}{8}\Omega

Resistance of short piece of wire =\frac{13}{8}\Omega

Resistivity of wire and cross section area of wire remains same .

Let L be the total  length  of wire and L' be the length of short  piece of wire.

We know that

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}=\frac{\rho}{A}L=KL

\frac{R}{L}=K

Where K=\frac{\rho}{A}=Constant

Using the formula

\frac{13}{L}=\frac{\frac{13}{8}}{L'}

\frac{L'}{L}=\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{1}{13}=\frac{1}{8}

L'=\frac{L}{8}

Length of short piece of wire=L'=\frac{L}{8}

Length of long piece of  wire=L-L'=L-\frac{L}{8}=\frac{8L-L}{8}=\frac{7}{8}L

% of length of short piece of   wire=\frac{\frac{L}{8}}{L}\times 100=12.5%%

The resistance of the short piece=\frac{13}{8}\Omega

The resistance of the long piece=\frac{91}{8}\Omega
