Answer: D) 3.2 × 10^8

Explanation: Insulators are best described as materials which are poor conductors of electricity and hence do not allow passage of electricity through them. Resistivity are hence used to describe property or characteristic of a material which does not allow the flow or passage of electric current.

In summary, materials which high resistivity values are referred to as Insulators. Conversely, those with low resistivity or high conductivity values are called conductors while those with intermediate values are named semiconductors.

In the question given above, the material with a resistivity value of 3.2 × 10^8 - - - has a very high resistivity value (320000000Ω), the other options given have very low resistivity values ; 0.0000000017, etc and are most likely to be conductors due to their excessively low resistivity values.

A laser emits a beam of light whose photons all have the same frequency. When the beam strikes the surface of a metal, photoelec

seraphim [82]

Answer:

the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, when a light is incident on a metal surface it ejects some electrons from the metal surface. The energy of photon of light must be equal to or greater than the work function of that metal. All the extra energy above the work potential appears as the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. So, greater he energy of photon greater will be the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

A single photon interacts with a single electron and ejects it only if its energy is greater than work function. So, the increase in no. of photons per second means an increase in the intensity of laser beam. And greater no. of photons, will interact with greater no. of electrons. So, <u>the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.</u>

Balok diam diatas bidang miring pada sudut kemiringan 40° balok mulai bergerak,tentukan koefisien gesek statis antara balok dan

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

0.84

Explanation:

m = Massa balok

g = Percepatan gravitasi

$\theta$ = Sudut kemiringan

$\mu$ = Koefisien gesekan statik antara balok dan bidang miring

Gaya balok karena beratnya diberikan oleh

$F=mg\sin\theta$

Gaya gesekan diberikan oleh

$f=\mu mg\cos\theta$

Kondisi dimana balok mulai bergerak adalah ketika gaya balok akibat beratnya sama dengan gaya gesek pada balok.

$mg\sin\theta=\mu mg\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{mg\sin\theta}{mg\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \mu=\tan40^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.84$

Koefisien gesekan statik antara balok dan bidang miring adalah 0.84.

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: $0.81\times 10^{16}$ beta particles

Explanation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles$

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.
