The resistance and the magnitude of the current depend on the path that the current takes. The drawing shows three situations in

which the current takes different paths through a piece of material. Each of the rectangular pieces is made from a material whose resistivity is rho = 1.50 x 10-2 Ω*m, and the unit of length in the drawing is L0 = 7 cm. Each piece of material is connected to a 3.00-V battery. Find (a) the resistance and (b) the current in each case.

Answer: (a). Resistance = 0.4286ohms and Current (I) = 7A

(b). Resistance (R) = 0.027 ohms and Current (I) = 111.1A

(c). Resistance (R) = 0.1071 ohms and Current (I) = 28A

Explanation:

From the question, given that;

ρ = 1.5*10-2ῼ.m

Lo = 7cm = 0.07m

V = 3V

From the formula R = ρL/A, where A is the area of cross section, L is the length of material and ρ is the resistivity.

(A)

L = 4Lo and A = 2Lo*Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ4Lo/(2Lo*Lo)

R = 2ρ /Lo = 2*1.5*10-2/0.07

R = 0.4286 ῼ

From this the current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/ 0.4286 = 6.99 = 7A

(B)

L = Lo and A = 4Lo * 2Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρLo/ (4Lo*2Lo) after eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/8Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 8*0.07

R = 0.027

Current (I) = V/R = 3/0.027 = 111.1A

(C)

L = 2Lo and A = Lo * 4Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ2Lo/ (Lo*4Lo) eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/2Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 2*0.07 = 0.1071

The current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/0.1071 = 28A

The Outlaw Run roller coaster in Branson, Missouri, features a track that is inclined at 84 ∘ below the horizontal and that span
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Ff = μmgcosθ

Ff = 0.28(1600)(9.8)cos(-84)

Ff = 458.9217...

Ff = 460 N

b)  ignoring the curves required at top and bottom which change the friction force significantly, especially at the bottom where centripetal acceleration will greatly increase normal forces and thus friction force.

W = Ffd

W = 458.9217(-49.4/sin(-84)

W = 22,795.6119...

W = 23 kJ

c) same assumptions as part b

The change in potential energy minus the work of friction will be kinetic energy.

KE = PE - W

½mv² = mgh - (μmgcosθ)d

v² = 2(gh - (μgcosθ)(h/sinθ))

v = √(2gh(1 - μcotθ))

v = √(2(9.8)(49.4)(1 - 0.28cot84))

v = 30.6552...

v = 31 m/s
