Answer:

The correct answer is in the x-axis direction, where the distance travelled is 1.0 cm and the surface is 8 cm^{2}.

Explanation:

The electrical resistance is lower when the contact surface is larger and the length is shorter.

An electrical resistance is an opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. For a given conductor, the resistance is given by the following formula:

R = ρ * \frac{l}{S}

Where:

R: Electrical resistance.

ρ: Resistivity of the material.

l: Length.

S: Surface of the conductor.

Thus, the direction in which the electrical resistance is lower is when the distance is minimum and the area is greater.

Have a nice day!

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Ymorist [56]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum and velocity.

The velocity of the eight ball is "5.7 m/s".

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of number three ball = 5 g

m₂ = mass of the eight ball = 6 g

u₁ = velocity of the number three ball = 3 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the eight ball = - 1 m/s (negative sign due to opposite direction)

v₁ = final velocity of the three number ball = - 5 m/s

v₂ = final velocity of the eight ball = ?

Therefore,

(5 g)(3 m/s) + (6 g)(- 1 m/s) = (5 g)(- 5 m/s) + (6 g)(v₂)

v_2=\frac{34\ g.m/s}{6\ g}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s</u>

A golf ball is released from rest from the top of a very tall building. Choose a coordinate system whose origin is at the starti
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)

Explanation:

From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh and h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}, First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula: h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2} and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so h= (0 (m/s))*(3.04 (s)) - \frac{9.8 (m/s^2)*(3.04 (s))^{2} }{2}, we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh solving for Vf, we get: Vf = \sqrt{Vo^{2}-2*g*h } replacing the values given Vf = \sqrt{(0 m/s)^{2}-2*(9.8 m/s^2)*(-45.28 m) }, so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci
Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .
