Given:

<em>Resistance = R </em>

<em>Lenght of second wire (L2)= half of the first wire's lenght (L1) = L1/2</em>

<em>Diameter of the second wire (D2)= Half of the first wire's diameter(D1) = D2/2</em>

Apply:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Where:

R= resistance

ρ= resitivity

L= lenght

A = cross sectional area

Replacing:

R = ρL2/A2

R= ρ (L1/2)/ (πd2^2 /4 )

R= 2ρL / π (d/2)^2

R= 2ρL / [πd^2/4]

R=2 ( 4ρL/πd^2)

R= 2R

Answer = 2R

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m_{1}=5.8 kg is the mass of the bowling ball

V_{1}=4.34 m/s is the velocity of the bowling ball

m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg is the mass of the ping-pong ball

V_{2} is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum p_{1} of the bowling ball is:

p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1} (1)

p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)  

p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s (2)

And the momentum p_{2} of the ping-pong ball is:

p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2} (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

p_{1}=p_{2} (4)

m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2} (5)

Isolating V_{2}:

V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}} (6)

V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg} (7)

Finally:

V_{2}=11369.46 m/s

A ball is thrown straight up from ground level. It passes a 2-m-high window. The bottom of the window is 7.5 m off the ground. T
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

u=14.48m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of window h=2m

Height of window off the ground h_g=7.5m

Time to fall and drop t=1.3s

 

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

2=u1.3-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.3^2

2=u1.3-8.281

u=7.91m/s^2  

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

2as=v^2-u^2

Where

-2gh_g=v^2-u^2

-2*9.8*7.5=(7.91)^2-u^2

-147=62.5681-u^2

u=\sqrt{209.5681}

u=14.48m/s

Therefore the  ball’s initial speed

u=14.48m/s

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the Earth (0.503 X 104 T) at a distance of 15
dem82 [27]

Answer:

37.725 A

Explanation:

B = magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the electric wire = 0.503 x 10⁻⁴ T

r = distance from the wire where the magnetic field is noted = 15 cm = 0.15 m

i = magnitude of current flowing through the wire = ?

Magnetic field by a long wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r}

Inserting the values

0.503\times 10^{-4} = (10^{-7})\frac{2i}{0.15}

i = 37.725 A
