Answer:

8.333*10^-6 ohms

Explanation:

Resistivity of a material is expressed as;

p = RA/l

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

l is the length of the material

Given

R = 5 ohms

A = 0.5mm^2

A = 5 * 10^-7m^2

l = 30cm  = 0.3m

Substitute into the formula;

p = (5 *  5 * 10^-7m^2)/0.3

p = 25 * 10^-7/0.3

p = 0.0000025/0.3

p = 8.333*10^-6

Hence its resistivity at 20 degrees Celsius is 8.333*10^-6 ohms

Answer:

high density can withstand high acceleration and applied forces

Heavy metals are toxic to humans,

the clay is quite abundant and in general it is not toxic

Explanation:

The selection of materials for the construction of rockets takes into account many aspects, the technical resistance to the demands of space travel, but also the abundance of the material. Heavy metals have two very serious problems. The first one, some of them are a little scarce in nature, but the most serious problem is that almost all of them are toxic to humans, for example: lead and mercury.

On the other hand, the clay is quite abundant and in general it is not toxic to living beings.

If we use Newton's second law

          F = m a

let's use the concept of density

         rho = m / V

        m = rho V

let's substitute

         F = rho V a

From this expression we see that a material with high density can withstand high acceleration and applied forces, such as those existing in spacecraft clearance and re-entry to Earth.

Unfortunately with this law there is no criterion to select a material unless its density is high, in addition to this criterion low toxicity criteria for human beings are used,

3 light-years =________.
KATRIN_1 [288]

               ( 3 yr) · (186,282.397 mile/s) · (86,400 s/day) · (365 day/yr)

           =  (3 · 186,282.397 · 86,400 · 365)  mile

           =      1.762380502 x 10¹³  miles

           =      1.8 x 10¹³  miles    (rounded to the nearest trillion miles)

hram777 [196]

The mass m of the object = 5.25 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

k = spring constant = 3.5 N/cm

Δx= 30 cm - 15 cm = 15 cm

Required

the mass m

Solution

F=m.g

Hooke's Law

F = k.Δx

\tt m.g=k.\Delta x\\\\m.10=3.5\times 15\\\\m=5.25~kg

Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.
