A metal wire has a circular cross section with radius 0.800 mm. You measure the resistivity of the wire in the following way: yo

u connect one end of the wire to one terminal of a battery that has emf 12.0 V and negligible internal resistance. To the other terminal of the battery you connect a point along the wire so that the length of wire between the battery terminals is d. You measure the current in the wire as a function of d. The currents are small, so the temperature change of the wire is very small. You plot your results as I versus 1/d and find that the data lie close to a straight line that has slope 600 A⋅m.

Answer:

The value is   \rho  =  4.02 *10^{-8} \  \Omega \cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius is  r =   0.800 mm = 0.0008 \ m

   The voltage of the battery is  emf  =  12.0 V

    The slope is  s =  600 \ A \cdot m

Generally the resistance is mathematically represented as

     R  =  \frac{\rho *  d }{A }

Generally the current is mathematically represented as

      I = \frac{V}{R}

=>    I = \frac{V}{\frac{\rho *  d }{A }}

=>   I  =  \frac{V *  A }{\rho}  *  \frac{1}{d}

Comparing this equation to that of a straight line we see that the slope is  

      s =  \frac{V *  A }{\rho}

So    600  =  \frac{V *  A }{\rho}

Here A is the cross-sectional  area of the wire which is mathematically represented as

        A =  \pi r^2

=>       A =  3.142 *   (0.0008 )^2

=>       A =  2.011*10^{-6} \ m^2    

So

     600  =  \frac{12.0 *  (2.011*10^{-6}) }{\rho}

=>   \rho  =  \frac{12 * 2.011*10^{-6} }{600}

=>  \rho  =  4.02 *10^{-8} \  \Omega \cdot m

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is  :

                          v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by  

v^{2} = w^{2} (A^{2} - y^{2})   ........................................................  i

And,

               v = \frac{1}{2} v (max)  

          or,  2 × v = Aω     ....................................................   ii

Eliminating  ω from equations i and ii,

                       \frac{1}{4} A^{2}  w^{2}  =  w^{2}  ( A^{2}  - y^{2})

                     or, y^{2} =  (\frac{3}{4}) A^{2}  =(\frac{3}{4}) 2.18^{2}

                    or,  y =  3.56 cm.

Thermal energy can be converted into motion by which of the following devices?
Ivanshal [37]
C.) Steam engine!

This is because thermal energy is similar to heat energy. You can think of this like boiling water to create “energy.” This is the same thing boil water to create steam engine!

I hope this is helpful and brainiest if correct!

A capacitor with air between its plates ischarged to 60 V and then disconnected fromthe battery. When a piece of glass is placed
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

       k = 1.30

Explanation:

For this exercise let's write the capacitance in air and with dielectric

air             C₀ = Q / DV

dielectric  C = k Q / DV

They tell us that the capacitor is charged and then the battery is disconnected, therefore the charge stored on the plate remains constant.

                         

therefore the capacitance a changes to the value

           C = k C₀

The voltage in the presence of dielectric must meet the relationship

           ΔV = ΔV₀ / k

           k = ΔV₀ /ΔV

let's calculate

           k = 60/46

           k = 1.30
