A 2.0-mm-long, 1.0-mmmm-diameter wire has a variable resistivity given by rho(x)=(2.5×10−6)[1+(x1.0m)2]Ωmrho(x)=(2.5×10−6)[1+(x1

.0m)2]Ωm where xx is measured from one end of the wire.What is the current if this wire is connected to the terminals of a 17.0V battery?

Answer:

1.144 A

Explanation:

given that;

the length of the wire = 2.0 mm

the diameter of the wire = 1.0 mm

the variable resistivity R = \rho (x) =(2.5*10^{-6})[1+(\frac{x}{1.0 \ m})^2]

Voltage of the battery = 17.0 v

Now; the resistivity of the variable (dR) can be expressed as = \frac{\rho dx}{A}

dR = \frac{(2.5*10^{-6})[1+(\frac{x}{1.0})^2]}{\frac{\pi}{4}(10^{-3})^2}

Taking the integral of both sides;we have:

\int\limits^R_0  dR = \int\limits^2_0 3.185 \ [1+x^2] \ dx

R = 3.185 [x + \frac {x^3}{3}}]^2__0

R = 3.185 [2 + \frac {2^3}{3}}]

R = 14.863 Ω

Since V = IR

I = \frac{V}{R}

I = \frac{17}{14.863}

I = 1.144 A

∴  the current if this wire if it is connected to the terminals of a 17.0V battery = 1.144 A

An orbiting satellite can become charged by the photoelectric effect when sunlight ejects electrons from its outer surface. Sate
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф   ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф  ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

If the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

For which length of wire are the readings of resistance the most precise
levacccp [35]
The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. That is the longer the length of the wire, the higher the resistance and the shorter the length of the wire, the smaller the resistance.
