A visitor to the observation deck of a skyscraper manages to drop a penny over the edge. As the penny falls faster, the force due to air resistance increases. How does this affect the acceleration of the penny? The acceleration remains zero.

The acceleration remains constant and not zero.

The acceleration increases.

The acceleration decreases.

Oxygen undergoes an isentropic expansion from 120 degree c and 280 kpa absolute to 140 kpa absolute. determine the final temperature of the oxygen and the amount of work per kg of o_2 produced in the process if it is adiabatic.

The direction of the current in an alternating current circuit remains constant. is direct. changes repeatedly. changes randomly.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
