The choices are confusing. Air, oil, and alcohol are fluids at any reasonable temperature. Dry cement is not.

Answer:

Dry cement

Explanation:

Matter can be in three different states: solids, liquids or gases. Liquids or gases are also called 'fluids'. The main difference between solids and fluids is:

- in solids, the molecules are bond together, and so they cannot move freely inside the substance, but they can only vibrate around their position. For this reason, solids have a well-defined shape and they occupy a well-defined volume.

- in fluids, the molecules are NOT bond together, and so they are free to move. For this reason, fluids do not have a well defined shape or volume, but they tend to occupy the volume of their conteiner.

Among the choices given, we see that air, oil and alcohol respect the conditions listed for fluids, so they are fluids; on the contrary, dry cement respects the conditions listed for solids, so it is a solid.

A copper wire of 1-m length and 1-mm radius has a resistance of 5.5 × 10 − 3 [Ω] and carries a current of 4 [A]. The number of f

Answer: a)1.27 *10^6 A/m^2; b) 57.9*10^6 Ω*m; c) 94.16*10^-6 m/s;

d) 4.29*10^-3 m^2/V*s

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to take into account the following expressions:

The current density is equal:

J=I/A  where A is the area of the wire.

J=4A/(π*1*10^-6m^2)=1.27 *10^6 A/m^2

The resistence of the wire is given by:

R=L/(σ*A) where σ and L are the conductivity and the length of the wire, respectively.

Then we have:

σ= L/(R*A)=1/(5.5*10^-3*π*1*10^-6)=57.9 *10^6 Ω*m

The drift velocity of free electrons is given by:

Vd=i/(n*A*e) where n is the numer of electrons per volume. e is the electron charge.

then we have:

Vd=J/(n*e)= 1.27 *10^6/(8.43*10^28*1.6*10^-19)=94.16 *10^-6 m/s

Finally, the mobility of free electrons is equal to:

μ=Vd/E  ;  E=J/σ

μ=E*σ/J= 94.16*10^-6*57.9 *10^6/1.27 *10^6=4.29*10^-3 m^2/V*s

A sound has 13 crests and 15 troughs in 3 seconds. When the second crest is produced the first is 2cm away from the source? Calc
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The wavelength will be 4 cm, frequency will be 4.66 Hz and wave speed is 18.6 cm/sec

Explanation:

Given:

No. of crest = 13

No. of trough = 15

Time = 3 seconds

Hence, 1 crest or 1 trough = \frac{1}{2}\lambda

therefore,

13 C + 15 T = 28(\frac{1}{2}\lambda)

=14\lambda

Time given 3 seconds

  = \frac{3}{14}s

\nu= \frac{14}{3}

\nu= 4.6 Hz \approx 5 Hz

2 cm distance is travelled is time period

\lambda = 4 cm

Again wave will travel in 1 T = 4 cm

wave speed v =\lambda\times\nu

= 4\times\frac{14}{3}

= 18.6 cm/s
