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 cube with sides of area 48 cm^2 contains a 28.7 nanoCoulomb charge. Find the flux of the electric field through the surface o

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The flux of the electric field through the surface is 3.24\times10^{3}\ Nm^/C[/tex].

Explanation:

Given that,

Area of cube = 48 cm²

Charge = 28.7 nC

We need to calculate the flux of the electric field through the surface

Using formula Gauss's law

The electric flux through any closed surface,

$\phi =\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_{0}}$

Where, q = charge

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{28.7\times10^{-9}}{8.85\times10^{-12}}$

$\phi =3.24\times10^{3}\ Nm^/C$

Hence, The flux of the electric field through the surface is 3.24\times10^{3}\ Nm^/C[/tex].

When resting, a person has a metabolic rate of about 3.0 105 joules per hour. The person is submerged neck-deep into a tub conta

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The temperature after half an hour is $19.3002^{\circ}$

Solution:

As per the question;

Metabolic rate of the person is 3.0105 J/h

Temperature, T = $19.30^{\circ}$

Mass of the water, $m_{w} = 1.2103 kg$

Time duration, t = 0.5 h = 30 min = 180 s

Now,

Heat, $Q = ms\Delta t$

Thus heat transfer in half an hour:

$Q = 3.0105\times 0.5 = 1.505 J$

Now, the temperature of water after half an hour, T' is given by:

$Q = m_{w}s\Delta T = ms(T' - T)$

where

s = 4186 J

$1.505 = 1.21103\times 4186\times (T' - 19.30^{\circ})$

$T' = 19.3002 ^{\circ}$

A grandfather clock keeps time using a pendulum consisting of a light rod connected to a small heavy mass. With a rod of length

german

Answer:

The length of the rod should be

$\frac{L}{4} \\$

Explanation:

Period of simple pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \\$

We have

$\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\\\\\frac{2^2}{1^2}=\frac{L}{l_2}\\\\l_2=\frac{L}{4} \\$

The length of the rod should be

$\frac{L}{4} \\$

The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = $1.50 m/s^2$

now we know that

$F = ma$

$F = 70(1.50) = 105 N$

now for the space station will be same as above force

$F = ma$

$105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)$

$a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}$

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$
