Electrical resistance is an objects ability to resist or oppose current which means its resistance is defined as ohms since that is the person who discovered it. And an experiment to study this would be a multimeter in a circuit testing current and change the material of the wire allowing you to see the change in current due to change in resistance

A cylinder measuring wide and high is filled with gas. The piston is pushed down with a steady force measured to be . Calculate
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given cylinder is 2.6 cm wide and its height is 3.1 cm. And, when piston is pushed down then the steady force is equal to 15 N.

Now, radius of the cylinder will be as follows.

            r = \frac{diameter}{2}

              = \frac{2.6 cm}{2}

              = 1.3 cm

or,           = 0.013 m         (as 1 m = 100 cm)

As, area of cylinder = \pi \times r^{2}

                                = 3.414 \times (0.013 m)^{2}

                                = 5.77 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

Relation between pressure and force is as follows.

             Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}

                         = \frac{15 N}{5.77 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}}

                         = 25996 N/m^{2}

Since, 1 N/m^{2} = 1 Pa           (as 1 kPa = 1000 Pa)

Therefore,   P = 25996 N/m^{2}  

                      = 25.99 kPa

                      = 26 kPa (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that pressure of the gas inside the cylinder is 26 kPa.

in which item is energy stored in the form of gravitational potential energy A)a slice of bread B)a compressed string C)an apple
olchik [2.2K]

For this case, in the next item we have gravitational potential energy:

An apple in a tree.

Suppose we define our reference system at the floor level.

Suppose the apple is at a height h from the floor and has mass m.

The gravitational potential energy of the apple is given by:

U = mgh

Where,

m: apple mass

h: height of the apple with respect to the floor

g: acceleration due to gravity

Answer:

C) an apple on a tree

2001240Determine the specific kinetic energy of a mass whose velocity is 40 m/s, in kJ/kg.
guapka [62]

Answer:

The specific kinetic energy of a mass is 0.8 kJ/kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 40 m/s

Specific kinetic energy is the kinetic energy per unit mass.

We need to calculate the specific kinetic energy

Using formula of specific kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{m}

K.E=\dfrac{v^2}{2}

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{40^2}{2}

K.E=800\ J/kg

We know that,

1 kJ = 1000 J

or, 1J=0.001 KJ

The specific energy is

K.E=800\times0.001

K.E=0.8\ kJ/kg

Hence, The specific kinetic energy of a mass is 0.8 kJ/kg

A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the 14) car a deceleration of 3.50
sergij07 [2.7K]
To be able to determine the original speed of the car, we use kinematic equations to relate the acceleration, distance and the original speed of the car moving. 

First, we manipulate the one of the kinematic equations
 
v^2 = v0^2 + 2 (a) (x)  where v = 0 since the car stopped

Writing the equation in such a way that the initial velocity or v0 is written on one side of the equation,

<span>we get v0 = sqrt (2(a)(x))

Substituting the known values,

v0 = sqrt(2(3.50)(30.0))
v0 = 14.49 m/s 
</span>
Therefore, before stopping the car the original speed of the car would be 14.49 m/s
