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.

A 1 170.0 kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.000 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back of a 9 800.0 kg t
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m1 = 1170 kg

mass of truck, m2 = 9800 kg

initial velocity of car, u1 = 25 m/s

initial velocity of truck, u2 = 20 m/s

final velocity of car, v1 = 18 m/s

Let the final velocity of truck is v2.

(a) Use the conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 + m1 x v1 + m2 x v2

1170 x 25 + 9800 x 20 = 1170 x 18 + 9800 x v2

29250 + 196000 = 21060 + 9800 v2

v2 = 20.84 m/s

(b) Total kinetic energy before collision,

Ki = 0.5 x 1170 x 25 x 25 + 0.5 x 9800 x 20 x 20

Ki = 365625 + 1960000 = 2325625 J

Total final kinetic energy

Kf = 0.5 x 1170 x 18 x 18 + 0.5 x 9800 x 20.84 x 20.84

Kf = 189540 + 2128097.44

Kf = 2317637.44 J

Change in energy = 2325625 - 2317637.44 = 7987.56 J

(c) It is due to the heat energy

Projectile <br> SHOW WORK<br> WILL MARK BRANLIEST <br> (Draw Picture and Label)
m_a_m_a [10]

a) The horizontal distance covered by the projectile is 600 m

b) The projectile reaches its maximum height after 3.00 s

c) The altitude of the highest point is 44.1 m

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

In this part A, we just need to analyze the horizontal motion. We know that:

  • The projectile travels horizontally with a constant velocity ov v_x = 100 m/s
  • The total time of flight of the projectile is t=6.00 s

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is given by

x=v_x t

And substituting, we find

x=(100)(6.0) = 600 m

b)

For this part, we need to analyze the vertical motion of the projectile.

First, we want to find the initial vertical velocity. We can do it by using the equation for the vertical displacement:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where:

u_y is the initial vertical velocity

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

t is the time

s is the vertical displacement

We know that the total time of flight is t = 6.00 s: this means that when t=6, the projectile returns to its initial vertical position, so s = 0. Substituting and solving for u_y, we get

u_y = - \frac{1}{2}at=-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(6)=29.4 m/s

The vertical velocity then as a function of t is given by

v_y = u_y + at

And at the maximum height, it becomes zero: v_y = 0. Substituting and solving for t, we find the time at which the projectile reaches the maximum height:

t=-\frac{u_y}{a}=-\frac{29.4}{-9.8}=3.00 s

c)

To find the altitude of the highest point in the path, we use again the equation:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u_y = 29.4 m/s is the initial vertical velocity

t = 3.00 s is the time at which the projectile reaches the highest point

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting the values, we find

s=(29.4)(3.00)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.00)^2=44.1 m

So, the highest point is at 44.1 m above the ground.

What does atomic spectrum mean?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The range of characteristic frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that are readily absorbed and emitted by an atom. The atomic spectrum is an effect of the quantized orbits of electrons around the atom

Additional Facts:

  • Atomic spectra can also be analyzed to determine the composition of objects
  • The frequency depends on the difference in energy between the orbitals. Explaining this phenomenon was crucial to the development of quantum mechanics
  • Occurs due to the fact are quantized at specific levels determined by the atomic number
