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

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

v=\sqrt{2gh}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

One difference between a solar flare and a CME is that a solar flare is composed of ___________, while a CME is composed of ____
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

magnetic energy (proton) and magnetic plasma.

Explanation:

  • The solar fare consists of bright light that occurs in various wavelengths and is observed at the surface.
  • They are not as strong as compared to the coronal mass ejection or CME. The solar fares consist of 10²² joules, while the plasma is ejected from the solar corona and can be clearly seen from a distance.
  • The Solar flares represent an atmospheric disturbance and plasms are the medium for the growth and development of solar flare and lead to solar activity.
