Complete question is;

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?

A) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

B) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

D) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

Answer:

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C. This is because unlike in a pry bar, the effort force when swinging a baseball bat is larger and it is applied over a short distance; and in return the resisting force is smaller and it's applied over a long distance.

Determine the ratio of the resistivity of pure water to silver?

shutvik [7]

Silver is a very good conductor, this means its resistivity is very low (from table, we can check the precise value, which is $\rho_s = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ ).

Pure water, instead, is a very bad conductor, this means its resistivity is very high, of order of $k \Omega \cdot m$ ( $10^3 \Omega m$ ). Even without knowing the precise value of the pure water resistivity, we can estimate the ratio between the pure water resistivity and the silver resistivity by comparing the two orders of magnitude:
$r= \frac{10^3 \Omega m}{10^{-8} \Omega m} \sim 10^{11}$

Therefore, we can say that the correct answer is
$3 \cdot 10^{11} : 1$

Examine the spectra of the four unknown substances shown below. What can you conclude?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Line spectra are obtained when individual elements are heated using a high-voltage electrical discharge. This heating causes excitation of the element and a subsequent emission of distinct lines of colored light are obtained. Each element has its own unique emission line spectrum; therefore, if any of the tested substances were the same, their spectra would match. However, this is not the case so none of the substances are the same.
hope it helps!
