Explanation:

A resource is a source or supply from which a benefit is produced. Resources can be broadly classified upon their availability they are renewable and non renewable resources.

 

Renewable Resources :: A resource that can be replenished after use are known as Renewable resources.

Examples :: Sunlight, Water, biomass,...

 

Non renewable Resources :: A resource that, once used, is no longer available are known as Non renewable Resources.

Q:

Resistance of human body in dry condition

A) 10 ohm B) 1000 ohm
C) 10000 ohm D) 100000 ohm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 100000 ohm

Explanation:

Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000(10^5) Ohms.

 

Depending on the person, a rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. The skin's resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered.



There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women.

Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat - nerves and muscle have the least resistance.

Q:

A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of 2 feet, with an initial speed of 110 feet per second. After how many seconds does the ball attain its maximum height?

A) 2.87 sec B) 3.44 sec
C) 4.65 sec D) 5.41 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3.44 sec

Explanation:

It is launched vertically with an initial speed of 110 ft/sec.

It will reach maximum height when the speed drops to 0.

Vo=110 feet per second 

ho=2 feet 

So, h(t) = -16t^2 +110t +2 

Take the derivative: h'(t) = 110 -32t 

The maximum height will be at the inflection when the derivative crosses the x-axis, then h'(t)=0. 

So, set h'(t)=0 and solve for t: 

0 = 110 -32t 

-110 = -32t 

t=3.4375 

t=3.44 seconds.

Q:

When a steel ball is placed on the surface of mercury, it does not sink because

A) of the surface tension of mercury B) mercury is a semisolid
C) of the high viscosity of mercury D) the density of mercury is greater than that of steel
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) the density of mercury is greater than that of steel

Explanation:

A solid sinks in a liquid if its density is greater than that of the liquid. if less, it floats
