When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the

diameter of this resistor is now tripled, what will be the new current through the resistor?

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)

A boy of mass 50 kg exerts a pressure of 25000 pa calculate the area
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: A = 0.02 m²

Explanation: Solution:

Pressure is expressed in the formula:

P = F / A       where F = mg

  = mg /A

  = 50 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) / 25000 Pa

  =  0.02 m²

What happens to the kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass.
LiRa [457]

If the ground is level, then the snowball can never have
any more kinetic energy than it hand when it left your hand.

If more mass sticks to it as it makes its way across the lawn,
then it must slow down, so that its

                 KE = (1/2) (present mass) (present speed)²

never exceeds the KE you gave it when you tossed it.

And we're not even talking yet about all the energy it loses
by scraping through the snow and mashing down the blades
of grass in its path.

Two football players run towards each other along a straight path in Penrith Park in the clash between the Melbourne storms and
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a) v = 0.4799 m / s,  b)  K₀ = 1600.92 J,    K_f = 5.46 J

Explanation:

a) How the two players collide this is a momentum conservation exercise. Let's define a system formed by the two players, so that the forces during the collision are internal and also the system is isolated, so the moment is conserved.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₁ + M v₂

where m = 95 kg and his velocity is v₁ = -3.75 m / s, the other player's data is M = 111 kg with velocity v₂ = 4.10 m / s, we have selected the direction of this player as positive

Final moment. After the crash

       p_f = (m + M) v

as the system is isolated, the moment is preserved

       p₀ = p_f

       m v₁ + M v₂ = (m + M) v

       v =\frac{m v_1 + M v_2}{m+M}

let's calculate

        v = \frac{ -95 \ 3.75 \ + 111 \ 4.10}{95+111}

        v = 0.4799 m / s

b) let's find the initial kinetic energy of the system

         K₀ = ½ m v1 ^ 2 + ½ M v2 ^ 2

         K₀ = ½ 95 3.75 ^ 2 + ½ 111 4.10 ^ 2

         K₀ = 1600.92 J

the final kinetic energy

         K_f = ½ (m + M) v ^ 2

         k_f = ½ (95 + 111) 0.4799 ^ 2

         K_f = 5.46 J
