Answer:

D. transparent.

Explanation:

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is transparent.

A transparent material allows light to pass through them with little or no resistance enabling them see-through. A material that transmits nearly all the light rays that pass through it because it offers little resistance to the light is TRANSPARENT. Examples of transparent materials are water, glass (flint and crown), air, and diamond.

5. Two charged particles are separated by a distance of 12 meters. The Coulomb force between them is 20 N. What will the Coulomb

Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 80 N

Explanation:

The closer the particles get, the stronger the Coulomb force, which elongates choices C and D. The Coulomb force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. If the distance is cut in half, the force is multiplied by the reciprocal of (1/2)^2, which is 4. Multiplying it out, 20 times 4 is 80 N.

The resistivity of gold is at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a current of 940 m

IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0360531138247 V/m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Resistivity of gold = $2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega .m$ (General value)

I = Current = 940 mA

d = Diameter = 0.9 mm

A = Area = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

E = Electric field

Resistivity is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{EA}{I}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{\rho I}{A}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 940\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow E=0.0360531138247\ V/m$

The electric field in the wire is 0.0360531138247 V/m
