A wire of diameter 1 mm has a resistance of 0.5 . What is the resistance of another wire of the same material and the same leng

th but of diameter 0.5 mm?

The second wire has 1/2 the <u>radius</u> of the first wire.  

Now the area of a circle is (A =π r²) ... the area changes in proportion to the SQUARE of the circle's radius.

So if you cut both wires exactly perpendicular to their lengths, and look at the circular end where the cut is, the second wire has only 1/4 the cross-section AREA of the first wire.  Current in the second wire is trying to squeeze through a pipe that only has 1/4 the space to carry it.

The resistance of a piece of wire-2 is 4 times the resistance of a piece of wire-1 with the same length.

The resistance of wire-2 is (4 x 0.5 ohm) = <em>2 ohms</em> .

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!

The orbital period of a satellite is 2 x 106 s and its total radius is 2.5 x 1012 m.
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

Orbital period = 2 x 10⁶s

Total radius = 2.5 x 10¹²m

Unknown:

Tangential speed of the satellite = ?

Solution:

The tangential speed simply expresses the rate at which the distance moves around its orbit with time.

   Since the orbit is taken to be circular;

Tangential speed = \frac{2 x pi x r}{t}

  r is the radius

  t is the time or orbital radius

  Tangential speed = \frac{2 x 3.14 x 2.5 x 10¹²}{2 x10[tex]^{6}}[/tex]

Tangential speed = 7.85 x 10⁶m/s

Without the fig, we know nothing about  AB,  C_1,  C_2,  V_a, or  V_b.
The probability of getting any kind of answer from anybody who hasn't
seen or tasted the fig is vanishingly small.
