A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon r

esistor is 217.7 Ω. What is the temperature on a spring day when the resistance is 215.1 Ω? Take the temperature coefficient of resistivity for carbon to be α = −5.00×10^−4C^-1

Answer:

28 degree C

Explanation:

We are given that

T_1=4.00^{\circ}

R_1=217.7 \Ohm

R_2=215.1\Ohm

\alpha=-5.00\times 10^{-4}C^{-1}

We have to find the temperature on a spring day when resistance is 215.1 ohm.

We know that

\alpha(T_2-T_1)=\frac{R_2}{R_2}-1

Using the formula

-5.00\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=\frac{215.1}{217.7}-1

-5\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=0.988-1=-0.012

T_2-4=\frac{0.012}{5\times 10^{-4}}=24

T_2=24+4=28^{\circ}C

Hence, the temperature  on a spring day 28 degree C.

A 10 kg ball has a momentum of 40 kg.m/s.what is the ball's speed?
iren [92.7K]
M = 10kg
P = 40 kg.m/s
V= 4m/s

Formula v = p/m

V= p/m
=4okg.m/s / 10kg
=4m/s
