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

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

wavelength \lambda = 437.27 nm

Explanation:

given data

first bright fringe = 2.96 mm

slit separation = 0.325 mm

distance D = 2.20 m

solution

we know that this is double slit experiment

so we apply here Fringe width formula that is

β = \frac{D\lambda}{d}    ....................1

\lambda is Wavelength of light and  D is Distance between screen and slit and d is slit width

so put here value and we get

\lambda = \frac{2.96*0.325*10^{-6}}{2.20}    

\lambda = 437.27 × 10^{-9} m

wavelength \lambda = 437.27 nm

The sound source of a ship’s sonar system operates at a frequency of 22.0 kHz . The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a
Degger [83]

Answer:

147.456077993 Hz

Explanation:

f_0 = Frequency of the sonar = 22 kHz

v_w = Velocity of the whale = 4.95 m/s

v = Speed of sound in water = 1482 m/s

The difference in frequency is given by

\Delta f=f_0\times\dfrac{2v_{w}}{v-v_w}\\\Rightarrow \Delta f=22000\times\dfrac{2\times 4.95}{1482-4.95}\\\Rightarrow \Delta f=147.456077993\ Hz

The difference in frequency is 147.456077993 Hz

Answer:

•Most of the components that make up curcuits are conductors. Electricity flows easily thought conductors such as metal or water.Electricity does not flow easily thought insulators such as wood or rubber.

•When a battery is used to power a circuit, the circuit the current must travel from one pole of the battery to the opposite battery.

•Resisotors show the flow of Electricity throught a circuit this can prevent components of the circuit from 'brning out'. In a curcuit diagram, resistors are represented by bending lines.

The first-order decomposition of cyclopropane has a rate constant of 6.7 × 10–4 s–1. If the initial concentration of cyclopropan
Ket [755]

Answer:

.864 M

Explanation:

For first order decomposition,

rate constant k = 1/t x ln a / (a - x )

given , a = 1.33 M , t = 644 s , k = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴ , a - x  = ? = b( let )

6.7 x 10 ⁻⁴ = 1/644 x ln 1.33/b

ln 1.33/b = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴ x 644 = .4315

1.33 / b = e⁰ ⁴³¹⁵ = 1.5395

b = 1.33 / 1.5395 = .864 M.
