Spot welding is used to fuse two sheets of metal together at one small spot. Two copper electrodes pinch the sheets together at

a point and then run a huge electric current through that point. The two sheets melt and flow together to form a spot weld. Why does this technique work only with relatively poor conductors of electricity such as stainless steel and not with excellent conductors such as copper?

Answer:

The power deposited in a metal is proportional to its electric resistance, so high-resistance metals heat more.

Runner A is initially 5.7 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.9 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

Explanation:

given data

distance A = 5.7 km  west

velocity V1 = 8.9 km/h

distance B = 4.5 km  east

velocity V2 = 7 km/h

to find out

How far runners from the flagpole, when paths cross

solution

we know A and B are 5.7 + 4.5 = 10.2 km apart

and we consider here B will run distance x km for meet

so time will be for B is

time B = distance / velocity

time B = x / 7     ...................1

and

for A distance for meet = ( 10.2 - x ) km

so time A = distance / velocity

time A = ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9      .............2

now equating equation 1 and 2

time A = time B

x / 7  =   ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9

x = 4.490

so distance of B run for meet is 4.490 km

so distance from the flagpole when their paths cross is 4.5 - 4.490 = 0.01 km

so B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

How high up is a 5kg object that has 300j of energy
Eddi Din [679]

-- If the object is moving with speed of 10.954 meters per second, then
it has 300J of kinetic energy no matter where it may be located.

-- If the object is 6.118 meters above somewhere, then it has 300J of
gravitational potential energy relative to that place.

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

You are trying to hear your friend give directions to new store in town. But from your distance (1 point) of 15 m you only hear
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

Intensity of sound = 20 dB

distance = 15 m

intensity of sound is increased to = 50 dB

distance between the sound level = ?

Using relation

L_2 = L_1 - |20(log \dfrac{r_2}{r_1})|

L₁ = 20 dB        L₂ = 50 dB         r₁ = 15 m      r₂ = ?

log (\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}) = \dfrac{L_1 -L_2}{20}

\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}= 10^{\dfrac{|L_1 -L_2|}{20}}

r_2 =r_1 10^{\dfrac{|L_1 -L_2|}{20}}

r_2 =15 \times 10^{\dfrac{|20-50|}{20}}

r_2 =15 \times 10^{-1.5}

r₂ = 0.47 m

r₂ = 47 cm

hence, the correct answer is option D
