A 1.50 m cylinder of radius 1.10 cm is made of a complicated mixture of materials. Its resistivity depends on the distance x fro

m the left end and obeys the formula rho( x ) = a + bx^2, where a and b are constants. At the left end, the resistivity is 2.25 10^-8 Omega*m, while at the right end it is 8.50 x 10^-8 Omega*m.
What is the resistance of this rod?

What is the electric field at its midpoint if it carries a 1.75 A current?

If we cut the rod into two 75.0 cm halves, what is the resistance of each half?

I have solved parts A and B by doing the following:
A) R = ρL/A First I found the constants a and b by solving for them, which I found to be: a = 2.25x10^-8 Ωm b = 2.78x10^-8 Ωm A = πr^2 A = 3.8013x10-4 m2 Taking the integral of the Resistance equation gave me: 1/A*(ax + bx3/3) I then took the integral from 0 to 1.50m, thereby giving me: (1/3.801299x10-4)*3.38x10-8*1.50 + 2.78x10-8*1.53/3 = 1.71x10-4 This I know to be correct.
B) ∫E.dl = V dV/dx = d/dx(IR) 1.75/A*(a + bx2) Plugging in 0.75 for x gave me E = 1.76x10^-4 V/m This is also correct
C) This is where I'm stuck. I had thought that if I used the integral in part A to find the integral from 0 to 0.75 then that would be my resistance in the left hand side. Then I thought that I could subtract the left hand value from the value I found in part A to give me the right hand value, but this hasn't worked. My workings are as follow: R = ρL/A A = 3.8x10^-4 m2 Rleft hand1/A*(2.25x10^-8)(0.75) + (2.78x10^-8)(0.75^3/3) = 4.43966x10^-5 Then Rright hand = 1.71x10^-4 - 4.43966x10^-5 = 1.266x10^-4

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

6.93 km/h

Explanation:

To calculate her average speed, we need the "speed" formula, which is:

average speed = distance / time

You plug in your numbers and it will give you the answer.

Speed = 4.5km/0.65hr

           = 6.923 km/h

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?
serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

What does each system help you do?
Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.
