Two cylindrical bars, each with diameter of 2.40 cm, are welded together end-to-end. one of the original bars is copper (resistivity 1.72e-8 ohm*m) and is 0.330 m long. the other bar is platinum (resistivity 10.60e-8 ohm*m) and is 0.125 m long. what is the resistance between the ends of the welded bar at 20 degrees celsius ?

The resistance of a constant-diameter length of conductive material is:

R = ρL/A

R is the resistance, ρ is the material's resistivity, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area.

We know that a cylindrical bar's cross sectional area A is given by:

A = πr²

where r is the radius.

The resistance is then given by:

R = ρL/(πr²)

Copper bar:

ρ = 1.72×10⁻⁸Ωm

r = 1.20×10⁻²m (half of its diameter 2.40cm)

L = 0.330m

R = (1.72×10⁻⁸)(0.330)/(π(1.20×10⁻²)²)

R = 1.25×10⁻⁵Ω

Platinum bar:

ρ = 10.60×10⁻⁸Ωm

r = 1.20×10⁻²m (half of its diameter 2.40cm)

L = 0.125m

R = (10.60×10⁻⁸)(0.125)/(π(1.20×10⁻²)²)

R = 2.93×10⁻⁵Ω

Add up the resistances to find the total resistance:

1.25×10⁻⁵Ω + 2.93×10⁻⁵Ω

= 4.18×10⁻⁵Ω

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
