Answer:

L = 6.032 m

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by

      R = ρ L / A

done ρ is the resistivity of matter, L is the length and A is the area

      L = R A /ρ

the area of ​​a circle is

    A = π r² = π d² / 4

    L = R π d² / 4ρ

in the problem they indicate the resistance of 240 Ω, the diameter of 0.040 mm and the resistivity of 5 10⁻⁷ Ω / m

Let's reduce the diameter to SI units

   d = 0.040 mm (1 m / 1000 mm) = 4 10⁻⁵ m

let's calculate

     L = 240 π (4 10⁻⁵) 2 / (4 5 10⁻⁷)

     L = 6.0319 m

     L = 6.032 m

A 4 kg object moving to the left collides with and sticks to a 3 kg object moving to the right. Which of the following is true o
madam [21]

Answer:

D. The motion cannot be determined without knowing the speeds of the objects before the collision.

Explanation:

This question is tricky! We know the object moving to the left has a greater mass than the one moving to the right. We'd <em>assume</em> they would move to the left because the leftwards object has a greater mass, right?

Not. So. Fast.

We can solve for the objects' final velocity using the formula for momentum, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v .

Now here's where the trap is sprung: <em>we don't think about the equation</em>. This shows that the final velocity of the objects and the direction depends on both the mass of the objects <em>and</em> their initial velocity.

Basically, what if the 3 kg object is moving at 1 m/s and the 4 kg object is moving at –0.5 m/s? The objects would move to the <em>right</em> after the collision!

Do we know the velocity of these objects? No, right?

That means we <em>can't</em> determine the direction of their motion <u>unless we know their initial, pre-collision velocity</u>. This question is tricky because we look at the 4 kg vs. 3 kg and automatically assume the 4 kg object would dictate the direction of motion. That's not true. It depends on velocity as well.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

1. The successful launch of communication satellites

2.More people will be interested in studying science

But science would probably be focused on space exploration and there will probably be less scientists in other fields such as chemistry.
