hese two wires compare? A) Both wires have the same resistance. B) The shorter wire has twice the resistance of the longer wire. The longer wire has twice the resistance of the shorter wire. D) The longer wire has four times the resistance of the shorter wire. E) The shorter wire has four times the resistance of the longer wire.

Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wire 1:

length = 2L

Area = 2 A

Wire 2: length = L

Area = A

As we know that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

Let ρ be the resistivity of the cooper wire.

Resistance of wire 1

R1 = ρ x 2L / 2 A = ρ L / A

Resistance of wire 2:

R2 = ρ x L /  A = ρ L / A

As R1 = R2

It means both the wires have same resistance.

The question is incomplete, the options are;

RI^2

I^2/R

R/I^2

R/V^2

RV^2

V^2/R

VI

VIR

Select all that apply

Answer:

P=RI^2

P=V^2/R

P=VI

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which energy is changing in a circuit. It is shown by the formulas outlined above from the group of answer choices. Since the current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R) were mentioned in the question, any of three three formulas could be used to obtain the power drawn by the conductor.

block with of mass m is at rest on horizontal frictionless surface at time t=0. A force given by F=Bt+C is applied horizontally
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

v_{2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

From the second law of Newton movement laws, we have:

F=m*a, and we know that a is the acceleration, which definition is:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}, so:

F=m*\frac{dv}{dt}\\\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}(t+1)}{4}=\frac{t+1}{8}

The next step is separate variables and integrate (the limits are at this way because at t=0 the block was at rest (v=0):

dv=\frac{1}{8}(t+1)dt\\\int\limits^{v_{2}}_0 \, dv=\int\limits^{2}_{0} {\frac{1}{8}(t+1)} \, dt

v_{2}=\frac{1}{8}*(\frac{t^{2}}{2}+t) (This is the indefinite integral), the definite one is:

v_{2}=\frac{1}{8}*(2+2)=\frac{1}{2}

Determine the angular speed, in rad/s of:
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The earth about its axis:

The earth makes one revolution in 24 hours. to know the number of revolutions per second it makes, we need to convert hours to seconds and the revolution to rad.

\frac{1 rev}{24hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s

B. The minute hand of the clock makes one revolution in 60 minutes

To convert this to rad per second, we have

\frac{1 rev}{60mins}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.745 \times10^-3rad/s

C. The hour hand of  a clock completes one revolution in 12 hours

\frac{1 rev}{12hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.454 \times10^-4 rad/s

D. an egg beater turning at 300 rpm.

\frac{300 rev}{1minute}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s=0.0218rad/s
