Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

speed and time are Vf = 4.43 m/s and  t = 0.45 s

Explanation:

This is a problem of free fall, we have the equations of kinematics

      Vf² = Vo² + 2g x

As the object is released the initial velocity is zero, let's look at the final velocity with the equation

      Vf = √( 2 g X)

      Vf = √(2 9.8  1)

      Vf = 4.43 m/s

This is the speed with which it reaches the ground

 

Having the final speed we can find the time

      Vf = Vo + g t

       t = Vf / g

       t = 4.43 / 9.8

       t = 0.45 s

This is the time of fall of the body to touch the ground

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Black Hole

Explanation:

A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.

Since it does not emit light, <u>we cannot see them directly</u>, hence the name of black hole.

So in this case,<u> if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole</u>, and <u>also cannot be seen</u>, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.

It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .
