If an object accelerating at −1.5m/s^2 takes 1.2s to reach 5.0m/s, what was its initial speed?

-1.5 m/s^2 x 1.2 seconds = -1.8 m/s

It is a negative value which means the object slowed down. The object would have originally been going that amount more.


5.0 + 1.8 = 6.8 m/s


answer: 6.8 m/s

Which type wire should be used to increase resistance
8_murik_8 [283]

Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.

Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.

A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.

===============

I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then

Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance

Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.

Both rules assume you are using something like copper.

A spaceprobe has an 29.0 m length when measured at rest. What length
elixir [45]

Answer:

The observer sees the space-probe 9.055m long.

Explanation:

Let L_0 be the length of the space-probe when measured at rest, and L be its length as observed by an observer moving at velocity v, then

(1).\: \: L = L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2} }

Now, we know that L_0 = 29.0m and v = 0.95c, and putting these into (1) we get:

L = 29\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2} }

L = 29\sqrt{1-0.95^2 }

\boxed{L = 9.055m}

Thus, an observer moving at 0.95c observes the space-probe to be 9.055m long.
