Copper is a metal commonly used for electrical wiring in houses. Which metal conducts electricity better than copper at 20°C?

jek_recluse [69]

The correct answer is silver metal.
Conductivity measures the ability of a material or a metal to transmit energy, conductivity may be electrical, thermal or acoustical conductivity. The most electrical conductive element is silver, followed by copper and Gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity as compare to any element. However, copper and Gold are more often used in electrical applications since copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.

A(n) 12500 lb railroad car traveling at 7.8 ft/s couples with a stationary car of 7430 lb. The acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/

navik [9.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. That is, the final momentum must be the same final momentum. And in each state, the momentum will be the sum of the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, then

$\text{Initial Momentum} = \text{Final Momentum}$

$m_1u_1 +m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Here,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$u_{1,2}$ = Initial velocity of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Final velocity of each object

When they position the final velocities of the bodies it is the same and the car is stationary then,

$m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$

Rearranging to find the final velocity

$v_f = \frac{m_2u_2}{ (m_1+m_2)}$

$v_f = \frac{ 12500*7.8}{ 12500+7430}$

$v_f = 4.8921ft/s$

The expression for the impulse received by the first car is

$I = m_1 (v-u)$

$I = \frac{W}{g} (v-u)$

Replacing,

$I = \frac{12500}{32.2}(4.89-7.8)$

$I = -1129.65lb\cdot s$

The negative sign show the opposite direction.

A group of students performed a compression experiment where they placed weights on top of a cylinder of material and measured t

kolbaska11 [484]

The material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.

<h3>What is Young's modulus?</h3>

Young's modulus, or the modulus of elasticity in tension or compression, is a mechanical property that measures the tensile or compressive strength of a solid material when a force is applied to it.

<h3>Area of the cylinder</h3>

A = πr²

$A = \pi \times (0.02)^2 = 0.00126 \ m^2$

<h3>Young's modulus of the cylinder</h3>

$E = \frac{stress}{strain} \\\\E = \frac{F/A}{e/l} \\\\E = \frac{Fl}{Ae} \\\\$

Where;

e is extension

When 5 kg mass is applied, the extension = 10 cm - 9.61 cm = 0.39 cm = 0.0039 m.

$E = \frac{(5\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0039} \\\\E = 9.97 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.000997 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.001 \ GPa$

When the mass is 50 kg,

extension = 10 cm - 7.73 cm = 2.27 cm = 0.0227 m

$E = \frac{(50\times 9.8) \times 0.1}{0.00126 \times 0.0227} \\\\E = 1.7 \times 10^6 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2\\\\E = 0.0017 \ GPa\\\\E \approx 0.002 \ GPa$

The Young's modulus is between 0.001 GPa to 0.002 GPa

Thus, the material that the cylinder is made from is Butyl Rubber.
