A 1.70 m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

4.0 V across its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that at room temperature (20.0 degrees C) the ammeter reads 18.5 A, while at 92.0 degrees C it reads 17.2 A. You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod.
Find the resistivity and for the material of the rod at 20 degrees C.

Find the temperature coefficient of resistivity at 20 degrees C for the material of the rod.

Resistance = ρ * (L/A) and Rf = Ri * ([1 + α * (Tf – Ti)] 
ρ = Resistivity L = length in meters A = cross sectional area in m^2 α = temperature coefficient of resistivity 
L = 1.50 m Area = π * r^2 r = d/2 = 0.25 cm = 2.5 * 10^-3 m Area = π * (2.5 * 10^-3)^2 

The cylindrical rod is similar to a resistor. Since the current is decreasing, the resistance must be increasing. This means the resistance is increasing as the temperature increases. Resistance = Voltage ÷ Current At 20˚, R = 15 ÷ 18.5 At 92˚, R = 15 ÷ 17.2 

Now you know the resistance at the two temperatures. Let’s determine the resistivity at the two temperatures. Resistance = ρ * (L/A) ρ = Resistance * (A/L) 
At 20˚, ρ = (15 ÷ 18.5) * [π * (2.5 * 10^-3)^2] ÷ 1.5 = At 92˚, ρ = (15 ÷ 17.2) * [π * (2.5 * 10^-3)^2] ÷ 1.5 = 
Now you know the resistivity at the two temperatures. Let’s determine the temperature coefficient of resistivity for the material of the rod. 
Rf = Ri * ([1 + α * (Tf – Ti)] Rf = 15 ÷ 17.2, Ri = 15 ÷ 18.5, Tf = 92˚, Ti = 20˚ 
15 ÷ 17.2 = 15 ÷ 18.5 * [1 + α * (92 – 20)] Multiply both sides by (18.5 ÷ 15) (18.5 ÷ 15) * (15 ÷ 17.2) = 1 + α * 72 Subtract 1 from both sides (18.5 ÷ 15) * (15 ÷ 17.2) – 1 = α * 72 Divide both sides by 72 α = 1.05 * 10^-3

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is 4.6\times 10^{6} s

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}         (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}

T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}

T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s

Explain how water circulates from deep oceans to the surface.
Alexxandr [17]
"These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean watergets very cold, forming sea ice." this is what I found...
