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

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> .

Who knows the egg drop challenge
liubo4ka [24]
I know. If you're asking for ideas, I once did one and it did not break. I just took a cardboard box, filled it with thins like packing peanuts, crumpled newspaper, and put the egg inside a few layers of socks in the middle, and taped the box tightly shut. Our science teacher dropped from the roof of the school, and there wasn't even a crack on mine!

A spring has a spring constant of 100 N/m, and the mass hanging from is is 0.71 kg. What is the period of the spring's motion?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

k = spring constant of the spring = 100 N/m

m = mass hanging from the spring = 0.71 kg

T = Time period of the spring's motion = ?

Time period of the oscillations of the mass hanging is given as

T = (2π) √(m/k)

inserting the values in the above equation

T = (2 x 3.14) √(0.71 kg/100 N/m)

T = (6.28) √(0.0071 sec²)

T = (6.28) (0.084) sec

T = 0.53 sec

hence the correct choice is D) 0.53

In which of these scenarios would the sound of a drumstick hitting a metal bar get to you in the least amount of time?explain ur
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Scenario 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar will get to me in a shorter amount of time in Scenario 1 . The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solid is faster than it is in gases.
