in it.
b. What is resistance? How does the resistance of a long wire compare with the resistance of a short wire? How does the resistance of a thick wire that has a large cross sectional area compare with the resistance of a thin wire?

c. What is the power of a lightbulb that has a current of 1.46 A at 120. V?

a) Conductivity originates from the word "conduct" and is being used when talking about how good (high conductivity) or how bad (low conductivity) materials allow charge carriers (electrons in metals) pass through the material. Insulator must isolate things, i.e. it must not have free electrons or electrons with weak ties that can make current.

b) Resistance lessens currents. Resistance is like a tube: water passes through short and wide tube easily and the current hardly passes through a long and thin tube.

c) P=IV=1.46*120=175.2 W.

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt

Let r denote the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the moon. What is the magnitude of the acceleration
stepan [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration ae of the earth due to the gravitational pull of the moon is \mathbf{3.3187\times10^{-5}}\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

By Newton's gravitational law, the magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}(1)

With G the gravitational constant, M the mass of earth, m the mass of the moon and r the distance between the moon and the earth, a quick search on physics books or internet websites give us the values:

M=5.972\times10^{24}\,kg

m=7.34767309\times10^{22}\,kg

r=384400\,km

G=6.674\times10^{-11}\,\frac{N\,m^{3}}{kg^{2}}

Using those values on (1)

F=(6.674\times10^{-11})*\frac{(5.972\times10^{24})(7.34767309\times10^{22})}{(384400\times10^{3})^{2}}

F\approx1.98193\times10^{20}N

Now, by Newton's second Law we can find the acceleration of earth ae due moon's pull:

F=M*ae\Longrightarrow ae=\frac{F}{M}=\frac{1.98193\times10^{20}}{5.972\times10^{24}}\approx\mathbf{3.3187\times10^{-5}}
