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> .

What is polygamy? Explain please:)
Mariulka [41]

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man. 

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses".  That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

A horizontal force, F, acts on a crate weighing 8 N, which moves on a horizontal floor at constant speed. The coefficient of fri
RoseWind [281]

The answer is 24 J

F K =.25*8 N

     = 2N

F = f k = 2 N

Since a = 0

W = f * s

 2 N * 12 m = 24 J

The coefficient of friction is a ratio used to quantify the friction force among two gadgets when it comes to the everyday pressure this is keeping them collectively. The coefficient of friction is critical attention at some stage in material selection and floor requirement determination.

For instance, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction – the 2 materials slide past each different without problems – whilst rubber on the pavement has an excessive coefficient of friction – the substances no longer slide past each other without difficulty.

The coefficient of friction is dimensionless and it does not have any unit. it is a scalar, meaning the direction of the force does not have an effect on the physical quantity. The coefficient of friction depends on the gadgets that are causing friction.

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N  

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest  (Vo=0)

             

           Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

            Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

            Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam.  They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

         

            Vf = Vo - g t

             0 = Vo - g t

             t = Vo / g

             t = 12.3 / 9.8

             t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

                 I = Δp

                F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

                F = - po / t

                F = - mv / t

                F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

                F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean
