The SAME amount of current I passes through three different resistors. R2 has twice the cross-sectional area and the same length

as R1, and R3 is three times as long as R1 but has the same cross-sectional area as R1. 1)In which case is the CURRENT DENSITY through the resistor the smallest

Answer:

resistor R₂ has the lowest current density

Explanation:

The current density is

          j = I / A

now let's analyze each case

a) R₂ has an area 2A₀ and a length L₀ that R₁

b) R₃ has an area Ao and a length 3L₀ what R₁

we can see that all the area is given in relation to the resistance R₁

 

the current density in R₁ is

         j₁ = I / A₀

the current density in R₂

         j₂ = I / 2A₀

         j₂ 2 = ½ I/A₀

the current density in R₃

         j₃ = I / A₀

         j₂ < j₁ = j₃

therefore resistor R₂ has the lowest current density

Describe how the horizontal position of The baseball varies overtime is the change in position constant variable? Why might this
Scrat [10]

Answer:

When you hit a baseball with a bat, you are applying a force only in the time while the bat is in contact with the ball, after that, the horizontal speed of the ball is constant. (if you ignore the friction of the air)

This happens because of the second Newton's law:

Force is equal to mass times the acceleration or:

F = m*a

If we do not have a force, then we do not have acceleration.

This means that the change in position for a fixed amount of time is constant, so horizontal speed is constant.

Jeff is pushing a rock up a hill with a force of 85 N. If Chris comes to help and Chris can push with a force of 60 N, what is t
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

F = 145 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied by Jeff is 85 N and the force applied by Chris is 60 N. Both forces are acting in the same direction to push a rock up a hill. It means that net force is equal to the sum of these two forces.

So,

Net force on the rock = 85 N + 60 N

= 145 N

Hence, the net force on the rock is 145 N.

Question 1:  The block in the illustration is floating in water, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm^3. About 40% of the block is below water. Even though we can't see the illustration, we estimate the density of the block to be about  0.40 g/cm ³ .

Question 2: The upward force that makes things float is called buoyancy.

Question 3: According to Pascal's principle, pressure through a fluid is  uniform.

Question 4: A wing achieves lift by forcing air to move faster over the top of the wing.

Question 5: Pressure is measured as  force per unit area.

Question 6: If the amount of a gas in a sealed container increases, the pressure in the container also increases.

What caused the buoyant force on the lead balloon?
pochemuha

The buoyant force on the lead balloon was caused by the air molecules in the room and thus these air molecules will be hitting the surface of the balloon and those collisions will cause a force per unit area.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The term buoyant force is exerted mostly by objects getting fully or partially immersed in a fluid. This is the upward thrusting force exerted by the fluid on the bottom of the object to prevent the complete immersion of the object.

In other words, the buoyant force helps to keep the object floating. In case of balloon in air, the air pressure acts as the fluid which will be hitting the surface of balloon.

So, these collisions will prevent the balloon to fall down and to remain floating in air with an upward push from the collision of air molecules with the surface of balloon. So, the buoyant force acts on the lead balloon by collision of air molecules with the surface of balloon and pushing it in upward direction.

The weight of a body is variable from place to place​
AysviL [449]

Answer:

mass of the body is constant as it is property of body, but weight is product of acceleration due to gravity and mass, which may vary from place to place because acceleration due to gravity is different for different places.
