Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

denpristay [2]

The diameter of the wire is 2.8 * 10^-3 m.

<h3>What is the length?</h3>

Mass of the wire = 1.0 g or 1 * 10^-3 Kg

Resistance = 0.5 ohm

Resistivity of copper = 1.7 * 10^-8 ohm meter

Density of copper = 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

V = m/d

But v = Al

Al = m/d

A = m/ld

Resistance = ρl/A

= ρl/m/ld =

l^2 = Rm/ρd

l = √ Rm/ρd

l = √0.5 * 1 * 10^-3 / 1.7 * 10^-8 * 8.92 * 10^3

l = 1.82 m

A = πr^2

Also;

A = m/ld

A = 1 * 10^-3 Kg / 1.82 m * 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

A = 6.2 * 10^-5 m^2

r^2 = A/ π

r = √A/ π

r = √6.2 * 10^-5 m^2/3.142

r = 1.4 * 10^-3 m

Diameter = 2r = 2( 1.4 * 10^-3 m) = 2.8 * 10^-3 m
