Answer:

Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them. ... Electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. For electrolysis to work, the compound must contain ions.

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What

natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

$P=\rho gh$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air, $\rho=1.225\ kg/m^3$

So,

$P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa$

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w

spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

directly proportional to its length i.e $R\propto l$
inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e $R\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Therefore

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

$A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2$

$R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }$ ......(1)

Again for tungsten:

$R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }$ ........(2)

Given that $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}$ [since $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$ ]

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Aconstant current of 3 Afor 4 hours is required to charge an automotive battery. If the terminal voltage is V, where t is in hou

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

(a) 43.2 kC

(b) 0.012V kWh

(c) 0.108V cents

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

i = current flow = 3 A
t = time interval for which the current flow = $4\ h = 4\times 3600\ s = 14400\ s$
V = terminal voltage of the battery
R = rate of energy = 9 cents/kWh

<u>Assume:</u>

Q = charge transported as a result of charging
E = energy expended
C = cost of charging

Part (a):

We know that the charge flow rate is the electric current flow through a wire.

$\therefore i = \dfrac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow Q =it\\\Rightarrow Q = 3\times 14400\\\Rightarrow Q = 43200\ C\\\Rightarrow Q = 43.200\ kC\\$

Hence, 43.2 kC of charge is transported as a result of charging.

Part (b):

We know the electrical energy dissipated due to current flow across a voltage drop for a time interval is given by:

$E = Vit\\\Rightarrow E = V\times 3\times 4\\\Rightarrow E = 12V\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E = 0.012V\ kWh\\$

Hence, 0.012V kWh is expended in charging the battery.

Part (c):

We know that the energy cost is equal to the product of energy expended and the rate of energy.

$\therefore \textrm{Cost}=\textrm{Energy}\times \textrm{Rate}\\\Rightarrow C = ER\\\Rightarrow C = 0.012V\times 9\\\Rightarrow C =0.108V\ cents$

Hence, 0.108V cents is the charging cost of the battery.

If an incident light ray hits a flat smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of…

Nookie1986 [14]

Option B is correct. If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28°. It will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

Hence, option B is correct
