He can balance it on his hand or look for something that can handle the weight of it

Answer:

Hope this is what you were looking for!

Explanation:

1) So, if we are talking about balancing a straight stick (beam), he could put a finger from each hand on either side of it and move them together. As a result of friction his fingers will meet at the balance point.

2) Method of trial and error.

A 1.20-m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.570 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

nasty-shy [4]

(a) $1.72\cdot 10^{-5} \Omega m$

The resistance of the rod is given by:

$R=\rho \frac{L}{A}$ (1)

where

$\rho$ is the material resistivity

L = 1.20 m is the length of the rod

A is the cross-sectional area

The radius of the rod is half the diameter: $r=0.570 cm/2=0.285 cm=2.85\cdot 10^{-3} m$ , so the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (2.85\cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=2.55\cdot 10^{-5} m^2$

The resistance at 20°C can be found by using Ohm's law. In fact, we know:

- The voltage at this temperature is V = 15.0 V

- The current at this temperature is I = 18.6 A

So, the resistance is

$R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15.0 V}{18.6 A}=0.81 \Omega$

And now we can re-arrange the eq.(1) to solve for the resistivity:

$\rho=\frac{RA}{L}=\frac{(0.81 \Omega)(2.55\cdot 10^{-5} m^2)}{1.20 m}=1.72\cdot 10^{-5} \Omega m$

(b) $8.57\cdot 10^{-4} /{\circ}C$

First of all, let's find the new resistance of the wire at 92.0°C. In this case, the current is

I = 17.5 A

So the resistance is

$R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15.0 V}{17.5 A}=0.86 \Omega$

The equation that gives the change in resistance as a function of the temperature is

$R(T)=R_0 (1+\alpha(T-T_0))$

where

$R(T)=0.86 \Omega$ is the resistance at the new temperature (92.0°C)

$R_0=0.81 \Omega$ is the resistance at the original temperature (20.0°C)

$\alpha$ is the temperature coefficient of resistivity

$T=92^{\circ}C$

$T_0 = 20^{\circ}$

Solving the formula for $\alpha$ , we find

$\alpha=\frac{\frac{R(T)}{R_0}-1}{T-T_0}=\frac{\frac{0.86 \Omega}{0.81 \Omega}-1}{92C-20C}=8.57\cdot 10^{-4} /{\circ}C$

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before

Zina [86]

Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong... But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

A solenoid with 3,000.0 turns is 70.0 cm long. If its self-inductance is 25.0 mH, what is its radius? (The value of μ0 is 4π x 1

nevsk [136]

Answer:

A. 2.2*10^-2m

Explanation:

Using

Area = length x L/ uo xN²

So A = 0.7m * 25 x 10^-3H /( 4π x10^-7*

3000²)

A = 17.5*10^-3/ 1.13*10^-5

= 15.5*10^-2m²

Area= π r ²

15.5E-2/3.142 = r²

2.2*10^2m

The one that would explain why the two groups of scientists got different results is :
They had different specialties and interpreted their data differently
Probably one analyze it with x theory and the other use y theory
