Answer:

It was safe to handle the circuit with dry hands because dry skin body resistance is very high, measuring up to 500,000 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Current of 0.001 A to be felt

Current of 0.005 A can produce a pain response

Current of 0.015 A can cause a loss of muscle control

Total current that traveled in the three-battery circuit = 0.03 A

Thus, we can conclude that, it was safe to handle the above mentioned circuit with dry hands because dry skin body resistance is very high, measuring up to 500,000 ohms.

In a supermarket, you place a 22.3-N (around 5 lb) bag of oranges on a scale, and the scale starts to oscillate at 2.7 Hz. What
allsm [11]

Answer:

Force constant, k = 653.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the bag of oranges on a scale, W = 22.3 N

Let m is the mass of the bag of oranges,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{22.3}{9.8}

m = 2.27 kg

Frequency of the oscillation of the scale, f = 2.7 Hz

We need to find the force constant (spring constant) of the spring of the scale. We know that the formula of the frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

k=4\pi^2 f^2m

k=4\pi^2 \times (2.7)^2\times 2.27

k = 653.3 N/m

So, the force constant of the spring of the scale is 653.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Determine the specific volume of refrigerant-134a at 1 MPa and 50°C, using (a) the ideal-gas equation of state and (b) the gener
Andrej [43]

Answer:

( a ) The specific volume by ideal gas equation = 0.02632 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

% Error =  20.75 %

(b) The value of specific volume From the generalized compressibility chart = 0.0142 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

% Error =  - 34.85 %

Explanation:

Pressure = 1 M pa

Temperature = 50 °c = 323 K

Gas constant ( R ) for refrigerant = 81.49 \frac{J}{kg k}

(a). From ideal gas equation P V = m R T ---------- (1)

⇒ \frac{V}{m} = \frac{R T}{P}

⇒ Here \frac{V}{m} = Specific volume = v

⇒ v =  \frac{R T}{P}

Put all the values in the above formula we get

⇒ v = \frac{323}{10^{6} } ×81.49

⇒ v = 0.02632 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

This is the specific volume by ideal gas equation.

Actual value = 0.021796 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

Error =  0.02632 - 0.021796 =   0.004524 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

% Error =  \frac{0.004524}{0.021796} × 100

% Error =  20.75 %

(b). From the generalized compressibility chart the value of specific volume

 \frac{V}{m} = v = 0.0142 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

The actual value = 0.021796 \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

Error = 0.0142 - 0.021796 =  \frac{m^{3} }{kg}

% Error = \frac{- 0.0076}{0.021796} × 100

% Error =  - 34.85 %

Which of the following forms of radiation can penetrate up to a 2-cm layer of skin tissue?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

d). X-rays

Explanation:

X -rays are also called photons. They are a packet of electro magnetic radiation. X rays originate from the shell of the electron.  X rays are highly penetrating, and have a shorter wavelength than alpha particles and the beta particles. They are similar to the gamma rays which are also has a high penetrating power and easily pass through the human body.

 Thus X rays can penetrate a skin tissue upto 2 cm thickness.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon 

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J
