If you are talking about a scientific hypothesis, it essentially needs to be falsifiable, that is, that it can be proven wrong. Another requirement is for it to be testable, though under certain circumstances and definitions those two mean the same things. <span>

A piece of wire length 30cm and cross sectional area of 0.5mm^2 has a resistance of 5ohms at 20°c. It is then heated to a temper

Grace [21]

Answer:

8.333*10^-6 ohms

Explanation:

Resistivity of a material is expressed as;

p = RA/l

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

l is the length of the material

Given

R = 5 ohms

A = 0.5mm^2

A = 5 * 10^-7m^2

l = 30cm = 0.3m

Substitute into the formula;

p = (5 * 5 * 10^-7m^2)/0.3

p = 25 * 10^-7/0.3

p = 0.0000025/0.3

p = 8.333*10^-6

Hence its resistivity at 20 degrees Celsius is 8.333*10^-6 ohms

A 1,100 kg car is traveling initially 20 m/s when the brakes are applied. The brakes apply a constant force while bringing the c

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Work done = -220,000 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1100kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

To find workdone, we would calculate the kinetic energy possessed by the car.

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where,

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*1100*20^{2}$

$K.E = 550*400$

K.E = 220,000J

Therefore, the workdone to bring the car to rest would be -220,000 Joules because the braking force is working to oppose the motion of the car.

Harman [31]

Let us consider body moves a distance S due to the force F.

Hence the work by the body W = FS

If the force is not along the direction of displacement,then the work by a body for travelling a distance S will be -

$W=[ Fcos\theta]*S$ where $Fcos\theta$ is the component of the force along the direction of displacement.

$Hence\ W= FScos\theta$

$= F.S$

As per the question the power P is given as -

$P=\frac{W}{\delta t}$

$=\frac{F.S}{\delta t}$

$= F.\frac{S}{\delta t}$

$= \ F.V$

Hence alternative definition of power P = F.V
