The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

What is the acceleration of a 30.0-kg go kart if the thrust of its engine is 300.0 N?
VikaD [51]

Answer : a=10\ m/s^2

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the engine, m = 30 kg

Thrust is equivalent to the force acting perpendicularly and it is F = 300 N

According to Newton's second law of motion :

F = m\times a

a is the acceleration of the engine.

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{300\ N}{30\ Kg}

a=10\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the engine is 10\ m/s^2.

Hence, this is the required solution.

an electric device is plugged into a 110v wall socket. if the device consumes 500 w of power, what is the resistance of the devi
andreev551 [17]

Answer: R=24.2Ω

Explanation: <u>Power</u> is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:

P=V.i

P=R.i²

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

The resistance of the system is:

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

R=\frac{V^{2}}{P}

R=\frac{110^{2}}{500}

R = 24.2Ω

<u>For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.</u>

A 0.75μF capacitor is charged to 70 V . It is then connected in series with a 55Ω resistor and a 140 Ω resistor and allowed to d
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Capacitor of 0.75μF, charged to 70V and connect in series with 55Ω and 140 Ω to discharge.

Energy dissipates in 55Ω resistor is given by V²/R

Since the 55ohms and 140ohms l discharge the capacitor fully, the voltage will be zero volts and this voltage will be shared by the resistor in ratio.

So for 55ohms, using voltage divider rule

V=R1/(R1+R2) ×Vt

V=55/(55+140) ×70

V=19.74Volts is across the 55ohms resistor.

Then, energy loss will be

E=V²/R

E=19.74²/55

E=7.09J

7.09J of heat is dissipated by the 55ohms resistor

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.
