A student plans to determine the resistivity of a specific type of metal. To do this, the student will use wires constructed of the metal with known dimensions that are connected to a variable power source. The potential difference across and the current through each wire are measured and the resistance of each is calculated. The resistance is used to determine the resistivity. Which of the following should be kept constant to ensure that the resistivity values are consistent, and why?

a. The potential difference across the wires, because then only the currents will be different.
b. The currents in the wires, because then only the resistances will be different.
c. The lengths of the wires, because the resistivity changes with length.
d. The temperature of the wires, because resistivity changes with temperature.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

reviewing the different answers, the correct one is d

Explanation:

In the experiment to determine the resistivity of the wires, the student should use the relationship

         R = ρ L / A

         ρ = R A/L

in the statement they indicate that the difference that potential and current are measured, calculating the resistances from Ohm's law

         V = i R

          R = V / i

As resistivity is a property of the material that depends on the temperature, great care must be taken that the resistors do not change the temperature during the experiment, as this alters the resistivity value.

When reviewing the different answers, the correct one is d

Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved. Object A has a mass of m A = 17.0 kg and an initial velocity of v 0A = 8.00 m/s, due east. Object B, however has a mass of m B = 29.0 kg and an initial velocity of v 0B = 5.00 m/s, due north. Find the magnitude and direction of the total momentum of the two-object system after the collision.

Answers

Answer:

pf = 198.8 kg*m/s

θ = 46.8º N of E.

Explanation:

Since total momentum is conserved, and momentum is a vector, the components of the momentum along two axes perpendicular each other must be conserved too.If we call the positive x- axis to the W-E direction, and the positive y-axis to the S-N direction, we can write the following equation for the initial momentum along the x-axis:

       [tex]p_{ox} = p_{oAx} + p_{oBx} (1)[/tex]

We can do exactly the same for the initial momentum along the y-axis:

       [tex]p_{oy} = p_{oAy} + p_{oBy} (2)[/tex]

The final momentum along the x-axis, since the collision is inelastic and both objects stick together after the collision, can be written as follows:

       [tex]p_{fx} = (m_{A} + m_{B} ) * v_{fx} (3)[/tex]

We can repeat the process for the y-axis, as follows:

       [tex]p_{fy} = (m_{A} + m_{B} ) * v_{fy} (4)[/tex]

Since (1) is equal to (3), replacing for the givens, and since p₀Bₓ = 0, we can solve for vfₓ as follows:

       [tex]v_{fx} = \frac{p_{oAx}}{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} = \frac{m_{A}*v_{oAx} }{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} =\frac{17.0kg*8.00m/s}{46.0kg} = 2.96 m/s (5)[/tex]

In the same way, we can find the component of the final momentum along the y-axis, as follows:

       [tex]v_{fy} = \frac{p_{oBy}}{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} = \frac{m_{B}*v_{oBy} }{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} =\frac{29.0kg*5.00m/s}{46.0kg} = 3.15 m/s (6)[/tex]

With the values of vfx and vfy, we can find the magnitude of the final speed of the two-object system, applying the Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:

      [tex]v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{fx} ^{2} + v_{fy} ^{2}} = \sqrt{(2.96m/s)^{2} + (3.15m/s)^{2}} = 4.32 m/s (7)[/tex]

The magnitude of the final total momentum is just the product of the combined mass of both objects times the magnitude of the final speed:

       [tex]p_{f} = (m_{A} + m_{B})* v_{f} = 46 kg * 4.32 m/s = 198.8 kg*m/s (8)[/tex]

Finally, the angle that the final momentum vector makes with the positive x-axis, is the same that the final velocity vector makes with it.We can find this angle applying the definition of tangent of an angle, as follows:

       [tex]tg \theta = \frac{v_{fy}}{v_{fx}} = \frac{3.15 m/s}{2.96m/s} = 1.06 (9)[/tex]

       ⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (1.06) = 46.8º N of E

Answers

Answer:

C. amplitude = 0.10 m, wavelength = 0.60 m

Explanation:

The diagram shows an oscillating progressive wave, with its amplitude and wavelength.

Amplitude of a wave is the maximum distance covered either upward or downward.

So that,

amplitude of the wave, A = [tex]\frac{0.2}{2}[/tex]

                                          = 0.1

Amplitude of the wave = 0.1 m

Wavelength in this case is the distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough of the wave.

So that,

wavelength = [tex]\frac{1.5}{2.5}[/tex]

                   = 0.6

wavelength of the wave = 0.6 m

Therefore, the amplitude of the wave is 0.10 m, while the wavelength is 0.60 m.

A scientist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The balloon is spherical, with a radius of 2.10 m, and filled with hydrogen. The total mass of the balloon (including the hydrogen within it) and the instruments it carries is 24.0 kg. The density of air at ground level is 1.29 kg/m3. (a) What is the magnitude of the buoyant force (in N) acting on the balloon, just after it is released from ground level

Answers

Answer:

Fb = 490.4 N

Explanation:

According to Archimedes' principle, any object submerged in a fluid, receives a push upward (which we call buoyant force) equal to the weight of the volume of the fluid removed by the object.We can express this force (Fb), in terms of the density and the volume of the fluid, as follows:

       [tex]F_{b} = \rho * V * g (1)[/tex]

The volume removed from the fluid by the balloon is just the volume of  the balloon, assuming that it is a perfect sphere, as follows:

       [tex]V = \frac{4}{3}*\pi * R^{3} = \frac{4}{3} *\pi *(2.1m)^{3} = 38.8 m3 (2)[/tex]

Replacing by the givens and (2) in (1), we get:

       [tex]F_{b} = \rho * V * g = 1.29 kg/m3* 38.8m3*9.8m/s2 = 490.4 N (3)[/tex]

Due to historical difficulty in delivering supplies by plane, one of your colleagues has suggested you develop a catapult for slinging supplies to affected areas, similar to the electromagnetic lift catapults used to launch planes from aircraft carriers. This catapult is located at a fixed point 400 meters away and 50 meters below the target site. The catapult is capable of launching the payload at 67 meters per second and an initial launch angle of 50 degrees. Using your knowledge of kinematics equations, determine whether this would be sufficient to deliver the payload to the drop site.

Answers

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

We can take the initial velocity vector, which magnitude is a given (67 m/s) and project it along two directions perpendicular each other, which we choose horizontal (coincident with x-axis, positive to the right), and vertical (coincident with y-axis, positive upward).Both movements are independent each other, due to they are perpendicular.In the horizontal direction, assuming no other forces acting, once launched, the supply must keep the speed constant.Applying the definition of cosine of an angle, we can find the horizontal component of the initial velocity vector, as follows:

       [tex]v_{avgx} = v_{o}*cos 50 = 67 m/s * cos 50 = 43.1 m/s (1)[/tex]

Applying the definition of average velocity, since we know the horizontal distance to the target, we can find the time needed to travel this distance, as follows:

       [tex]t = \frac{\Delta x}{v_{avgx} } = \frac{400m}{43.1m/s} = 9.3 s (2)[/tex]

In the vertical direction, once launched, the only influence on the supply is due to gravity, that accelerates it with a downward acceleration that we call g, which magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.Since g is constant (close to the Earth's surface), we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the vertical displacement at the same time t that we found above, as follows:

       [tex]\Delta y = v_{oy} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (3)[/tex]

In this case, v₀y, is just the vertical component of the initial velocity, that we can find applying the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

       [tex]v_{oy} = v_{o}*sin 50 = 67 m/s * sin 50 = 51.3 m/s (4)[/tex]

Replacing in (3) the values of t, g, and v₀y, we can find the vertical displacement at the time t, as follows:

       [tex]\Delta y = (53.1m/s * 9.3s) - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(9.3s)^{2} = 53.5 m (5)[/tex]

Since when the payload have traveled itself 400 m, it will be at a height of 53.5 m (higher than the target) we can conclude that the payload will be delivered safely to the drop site.

A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 8.80 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that increases uniformly in magnitude from 0.500 T to 1.80 T in 1.10 s. What is the resulting induced current if the loop has a resistance of 2.20

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the induced current is 4.73 x 10⁻³ A.

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 1

cross sectional area of the loop, A = 8.8  cm² = 8.8 x 10⁻⁴ m²

change in magnetic field strength, ΔB = 1.8 T -  0.5 T = 1.3 T

change in time, Δt = 1.10 s

resistance of the loop, R = 2.2 ohm

The magnitude of the induced emf is calculated as;

[tex]emf = \frac{NA \Delta B}{\Delta t} \\\\emf = \frac{1 \times 8.8\times 10^{-4} \times 1.3}{1.10} \\\\emf = 1.04 \times 10^{-3} \ V[/tex]

The induced current in the loop is calculated as;

[tex]I = \frac{emf}{R} \\\\I = \frac{1.04 \times 10^{-3}}{2.2} \\\\I= 4.73 \times 10^{-4} \ A[/tex]

Therefore, the magnitude of the induced current is 4.73 x 10⁻³ A
