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

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam
Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, 25.0^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of ice = 2.09J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of ice = 50 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of ice = -15^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 30^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC

T_f=25.0^oC

Therefore, the final temperature is, 25.0^oC

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
Lapatulllka [165]
Let's calculate the average acceleration. It is the rate of changing speeds. Hence, we need to calculate the difference of speeds. 10-6=4 m/s. The rate is now \frac{4m/s}{2s} =2m/s^2.
In general, the formula for the mean acceleration between two times 1 and 2 is given by:
\frac{u_2-u_1}{T} where v1 and v2 are the speeds at the respective points and T is the time interval between them.

1. Which statement about friction is true?(1 point) A. Static friction and kinetic friction in a system always act in the same d
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

true 1Ay 2D

Explanation:

1) In this exercise you are asked to investigate which statements are true

A) True. The friction force opposes the movement caused by the external force,

B) False. Mantuano in the opposite direction force

C) False. The static and scientific friction force act in the same direction, since the second appears when the movement does not start and the static friction decreases.

D) Fale the static and kinetic friction forces act in the same direction

2) How to overcome friction on a ramp

A) False. If the texture of the surface becomes rough, the friction force increases

B) False. Pressing the brick against the surface increases the normal and as the friction is proportional to the normal, it also increases

C) False. By lowering the table the weight component in the friction direction decreases

D) True. When lifting the board, the weight component increases and therefore can become greater than the friction

           W sin tea - my mg cos tea = m a

As it increases, the sine increases and the cosine decreases.
