Answer:

The resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

Explanation:

let L be the length of the cable, A be the cross-sectional area of the cable and   r be the resistivity of the copper.

then, the resistance of the cable is given by:

R = r×L/A

  = (3×10^-8)×(5000×10^3)/(7×π((0.85×10^-3)/2)^2)

  = 37762.91 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is - c.  Spaceship will have a velocity to the East and will be slowing down.

Explanation:

In this case, if turned on thruster #2 then it will exert force on the west side as thruster 2 is on the east side and it can be understood by Newton's third law that says each action has the same but opposite reaction.

As the spaceship engine applies force on the east side then according to the law the exhauster gas applies on towards west direction. It will try to decrease the velocity of the spaceship however, the direction of floating still be east side initally.

The net force acting on the ball below is ___ N
yKpoI14uk [10]

The net force applied to the object equals the mass of the object multiplied by the amount of its acceleration." The net force acting on the soccer ball is equal to the mass of the soccer ball multiplied by its change in velocity each second (its acceleration).

earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids.  <em>(C)  </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s
