Most of the resistance of the human body comes from the skin, as the interior of the body contains aqueous solutions that are go

od electrical conductors. For dry skin, the resistance between a person's hands is measured at typically 500 kΩ. The skin varies in thickness, but on the average it is about 2.0 mm thick. We can model the body between the hands as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 14 cmin diameter with the skin wrapped around it.
(a) What is the resistivity of the skin?
Ω · m

(b) Compare your answer with the internal resistivity of the body, approximately

4.8 Ω · m.

How do you explain the fact that the resistance of the skin is about 1000 times greater than the internal resistance of the body, even though the resistivity of the skin is only about 60 times that of the interior of the body?

A )The skin has a smaller cross sectional area.

B )The resistance of an object scales exponentially with respect to the resistivity of the material out of which it is made.

C ) The skin is constantly moistened by biological processes.

D ) Charges can only exist on the surface of conductors.

Answer:

a) Resistivity=R.A/L

Here, R=500000ohm, L=1.6m, A=2pi* (0.14/2)*0.002 m2=0.00088.........we have converted quantities into SI units

Resistivity=R.A/L

=500000*0.00088/1.6 = 440/1.6= 275 ohm.meter

b) pskin/pinterior =275/4.8=57.3

For second part, correct option is (A), because cross section area is smaller.

propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond
nirvana33 [79]
<span>Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen.</span> Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

How do two sublevels of the same principal energy level differ from each other
Colt1911 [192]

Each energy sublevel corresponds to an orbital of a different shape.

Explanation:

Two sublevels of the same principal energy level differs from each other if the sublevels corrresponds to an orbital of a different shape.

  • The principal quantum number of an atom represents the main energy level in which the orbital is located or the distance of an orbital from the nucleus. It takes values of n = 1,2,3,4 et.c
  • The secondary quantum number gives the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating electrons.
  • The number of possible shapes is limited  by the principal quantum numbers.

Take for example, Carbon:

                      1s² 2s² 2p²

   The second energy level is 2 but with two different sublevels of s and p. They have different shapes. S is spherical and P is dumb-bell shaped .

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?​
murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

or

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.
