Answer:

The resistance of the skin is 98 kΩ

Explanation:

Given:

Resistivity \rho = 1 \times 10^{6} Ωm

Thickness t = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} m

Resistivity of the skin:

  R = \frac{\rho t}{A}

With assumed radius for the worker's palm,

r = 7 \times 10^{-2} m

Area of the worker's palm,

 A = \pi r^{2}

 A = 3.14 \times 49 \times 10^{-4}

 A = 1.53 \times 10^{-2} m^{2}

Thus the resistance of palm is,

R = \frac{10^{6} \times 1.5 \times 10^{-3} }{1.53 \times 10^{-2} }

R = 98 \times 10^{3} Ω

Consequently, the resistance of the skin is 98 kΩ

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properti
Sav [3153]

Response: Numerous elements can be found, all situated within the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

Elements are organized by their atomic numbers on the periodic table. Those in the same vertical column (known as groups) exhibit the same valence electron configurations, resulting in similar chemical characteristics. Consequently, there are numerous elements sharing analogous chemical properties grouped with Bromine.

A model of a spring/mass system is 4x'' + e−0.1tx = 0. By inspection of the differential equation only, discuss the behavior of
Keith_Richards [3271]
Displacement stabilizes over time. It is known that exponentials raised to infinity approach zero, hence the system model will yield as time approaches infinity, resulting in 4x'' + e−0.1tx = 0. As time approaches infinity, we deduce that 4x'' equals zero. Consequently, upon integrating, we derive 4x' = c, and further integration leads to the conclusion 4x = cx + d.

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) La fuerza neta que actúa sobre la caja en la dirección vertical es:

Fnet=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

aquí Fg representa la fuerza gravitacional, f es la fuerza de fricción, y Fp es la fuerza de empuje.

Fnet=ma

ma=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

​a=\frac{30-13-23*sin(45)}{3.1}

=0.24 m/s²

Vf =Vi +at

=0.48+0.24*2

Vf=2.98 m/s

b)

Fnet=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

=Fg−0.516Fp−Fp *sin45 °

=30-1.273Fp

Fnet=0 (Ya que la velocidad es constante)

Fp=30/1.273

=23.56 N

Keith_Richards [3271]
To address this problem, Boyle's Law must be applied, which states that the initial and final pressures and volumes are related as follows: Where, P₀ and V₀ represent the initial pressure and volume, while P and V refer to the final pressure and volume. The endpoint pressure in this scenario is atmospheric pressure. Thus, using the given equation, we can find the volume the lungs would occupy at the surface.

A rare and valuable antique chest is being moved into a truck using a 4.00 m long ramp. the kj weight of the chest plus packing
ValentinkaMS [3465]

We start by finding the angle of inclination with the sine function,

sin θ = 1 m / 4 m

θ = 14.48°

 

Next, we compute the work done by the movers using the following formula:

W = Fnet * d

 

We need to first determine Fnet. It is the weight force minus the frictional force.

Fnet = m g sinθ – μ m g cosθ

Fnet = 1,500 sin14.48 – 0.2 * 1,500 * cos14.48

Fnet = 84.526 N

 

The work done is therefore:

W = 84.526 N * 4 m

<span>W = 338.10 J</span>
