The electrical resistance of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. a wire with a len

gth of 200 inches and a diameter of one-quarter of an inch has a resistance of 20 ohms. find the electrical resistance in a 500 inch wire with the same diameter.

The electrical resistance of the wire is proportional to its length L and inversely proportional to the square of its diameter, 1/r^2. 

The length of the wire in the problem is changed from 200 inches to 500 inches, so the new length is 2.5 times the initial length:
\frac{L_1}{L_0}= \frac{500}{200}=2.5
the diameter of the wire is not changed, so the new electrical resistance must be 2.5 times the original value:
R_1 = 2.5 R_0 = 2.5 \cdot 20 \Omega =50 \Omega

n200080 [17]

Answer:

D) not swim in or drink the water from the stream

Explanation:

Low pH means the water is acidic which is harmful to your skin as it can cause burns and irritations. So any means of contacting with water is not healthy. The damage to the skin happens as in acidic water it has more H+ than in the neutral water and the extra H+ ions can ionize the atoms  which are combined to form different compounds in the skin when in contact.

A particle moves along a straight line with an acceleration of a = 5>(3s 1>3 + s 5>2) m>s2, where s is in meters. De
Len [333]

Answer:

v=1.295

Explanation:

What we are given:

a=5÷(3s^(1/3)+s^(5/2)) m/s^2

Start by using equation  a ds = v dv

This problem requires a numeric method of solving. Therefore, you can integrate v ds normally, but you must use a different method for a ds The problem should look like this:

\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx

<em>a=2</em>

<em>b=1</em>

<em>x=5÷(3s^(1/3)+s^(5/2)) </em><em>m/s^2</em>

<em>dx=dv</em>

Integrate the left side the standard method.

\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx

<em>a=v</em>

<em>b=0</em>

<em>dx=dv</em>

<em>Integrating</em>

=v^2/2

Use Simpson's rule for the right site.

\int\limits^a_b {x} \, dx

<em>a=b</em>

<em>b=a</em>

<em>x=f(x)</em>

f(x)=b-a/6*(f(a)+4f(a+b/2)+f(b)

If properly applied. you should now have the following equation:

v^2/2=5[(1/6*(0.25+4(0.162)+(0.106)]

        =0.8376

Solve for v.  

      v=1.295

Pre-laboratory Assignment: Experiment 20 Reflection and Refraction of Light 1. When light is incident on a reflective surface, w
shusha [124]

Answer:

1) ngle of incidence and reflection are equal,  light carries does not change

2) the angle of this line with respect to the surface is 90º

3) protractor

4)    n₂  sin θ₂ = n_1 sin θ₁,  light ray must have a greater angle than the incident ray ,

Explanation:

1) When light falls on a reflective surface, the angle of incidence and reflection are equal and as it travels in the same medium, the speed that the light carries does not change

2) The normal is a line perpendicular to the point of incidence of light, so the angle of this line with respect to the surface is 90º

3) Angles are measured with a protractor

4) When light passes from one medium to another, the speed of the ray changes due to the difference in the refractive index in each medium, due to this change in speed the transmitted light ray must have a greater angle than the incident ray , since the speed increases as the density of the medium decreases

           \frac{sin \theta _2}{ sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}

          \frac{c}{v_2} \  sin \theta_2 = \frac{c}{v_1}  \ sin \theta_1

          n₂  sin θ₂ = n_1 sin θ₁
