A piece of wire has a resistance of 8 ohms. What

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

4 ohms

Explanation:

R = PL/A

P is resistivity

L is length and is halved

A cross sectional area, the same so

R = P(L/2)/A = 4

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.

Suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 J when you dropped it.What would be it’s kinetic energy just as it hit the ground?
timama [110]

Answer:

Due to Conservation of Energy just as the ball hits the ground it's potential energy is assumed zero

Therefore disregarding air resistance all energy is converted into potential energy.

So KE = PE  

(5 J)

2. How do the phytochemicals present in various foods help us?<br>​
vredina [299]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Phytochemicals are compounds that are produced by plants ("phyto" means "plant"). They are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and other plants. Some of these phytochemicals are believed to protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer.

What is the SI unit for intensity?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

Explanation:

Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)
