Answer:

the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm ,   i = 2.19 10⁸  A

Explanation:

Ohm's law is

          V = i R

Resistance is

         R = ρ L / A

Where L is the length of the electrons pass and A the area perpendicular to the current

      i = V / R

      i = V (A / ρ L)

      i = V / ρ  (A / L)

We can calculate the relationship between the area and the length to know in which direction the maximum currents

Case 1

      L = 0.15 m

      A = 0.26 0.43 = 0.1118 m2

      A / L = 0.1118 / 0.15

      A / L = 0.7453 m

Case 2

        L = 0.26 m

        A = 0.15 0.43 = 0.0645 m2

        A / L = 0.248 m

Case 3

       L = 0.43 m

       A = 0.15 0.26 = 0.039 m2

        A / L = 0.0907 m

We can see that the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm

Let's calculate the current

     i = 5 / 1.7 10⁻⁸ (0.7453)

      i = 2.19 10⁸  A

The answer is C. nebular are star nurseries. When the massive gas being collapsing in its own weight. Local areas of gas begin to coalesce under gravity. Due to enormous pressure, nuclear fusion begins and a protostar is formed. The protostar grows into the sun as more hydrogen fuses at the core. The planetesimal materials at the edges of the protostellar discs coalesce to form planets that orbit the star.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

Velocity of a standing wave in a stretched string is:

v = √(T/ρ),

where T is the tension and ρ is the mass per unit length.

300 m/s = √(T / 4×10⁻⁴ kg/m)

T = 36 N

If a satellite weighs 321 lb. on the earth's surface (R = 4,000 miles), how much does it weigh 12,000 miles above the surface? (
Sever21 [200]

The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .
