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)

Suppose that you lift four boxes individually, each at a constant velocity. The boxes have weights of 3.0 N, 4.0 N, 6.0 N, and 2
Alona [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m

Explanation:

Worked : work can be defined as the product of force and distance.

The S.I unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically it can be represented as,

W = F×d.................. Equation 1

d = W/F.............................. Equation 2

where W = work, F = force, d = distance.

<em>Given: W = 12 J</em>

(i) for the 3.0 N weight,

using equation 2

d = 12/3

d= 4 m.

(ii) for the 4.0 N weight,

d = 12/4

d = 3 m.

(iii) for the 6.0 N weight,

d = 12/6

d = 2 m.

(iv) for the 2.0 N weight,

d = 12/2

d = 6 m

Therefore vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m

A 900 kg car is traveling at 20 m/s along the road. What force must be applied to the car to stop it in a distance of 30 m2 Assu
serg [7]

Answer:

A. 6000 N

Explanation:

v²=u²+2as

0²=20²+2x30xa

-400=60a

a=-400/60

a =-6.667m/s²

f =ma

f = 900 x 6.667 = 6003N

F = 6000N

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is A.

A) The increased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Jayden experimented, she placed the marshmallow in the syringe and sealed the end. When she depressed the plunger of the syringe, the pressure increased and pushed the molecules closer together and causes the marshmallow to shrink.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A chair at rest on the floor has two forces acting on it its own weight that pulls it downward and the floor pushing upward on the chair, both of these forces are acting on it but the net force is 0, so the chair remains at rest and its velocity stays at 0.
