Answer:

<h2>d₂ = 3d</h2><h2>The diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the resistivity of an object to find the diameter.

Resistivity P = RA/L

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

L is the length of the material

Since A = πd²/4

P = R( πd²/4)/L

P = Rπd²/4L ... 1

If the second wire of the same material and length is found to have resistance R/9, the resistivity of the second material will be;

P₂ = (R/9)A₂/L₂

P₂ = (R/9)(πd₂²/4)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²/36)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Since the length and resistivity are the same;

P = P₂  and L =L₂

Equating 1 and 2;

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L

d² = d₂²/9

d₂² = 9d²

Taking the square root of both sides;

√d₂² = √9d²

d₂ = 3d

Therefore the diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire

In a lab, the mass of object a is 52 kg. object a weighs
aksik [14]
If you are asking for the weight then the formula is F=mg where f is weight m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.m=52kg and g=9.8m/s2(the gravity of earth)
F=52*9.8=509.6
therefore the weight of the object is 509.6N

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Inessa05 [86]

initially coin is at rest and then it drop for total time t = 1.5 s

so here the speed of the coin at which it will hit the floor is to be find

v_f = v_i + at

here we know that

v_i = 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from above equation

v_f = 0 + 1.5 (9.8)

v_f = 14.7 m/s

so it will hit the floor with speed 14.7 m/s

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.
