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

The wavelength of visible light is about 5500 times longer than the wavelength of x-rays. If you represent the wavelenth of an x
Pie

Answer:

458.33 ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of of an x- ray photon=1 in

Wavelength of of an x- ray photon==\frac{1}{12}ft

1 in=\frac{1}{12}feet

We have to find the  length of line (in feet) drawn by you to represent the wavelength of visible light.

According to question

Wavelength of visible light=5500\times \frac{1}{12} ft

Wavelength of visible light=\frac{5500}{12}ft

Wavelength of visible light=458.33 ft

Hence, the 458.33 ft line must drawn  by you to represent the wavelength of visible light.

IM A plastic sphere floats in water with 50.0% of its volume submerged. This same sphere floats in glycerin with 40.0 \% of its
arsen [322]

Density of glycerin is 5/4 times water density.

Density of the sphere is 1/2 times water density.

<h3>How to find the density of sphere floats and glycerin?</h3>

Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume, that is density is the amount of mass per unit of volume.

A substance's density exist defined as its mass per unit of volume. Density is most frequently represented by the symbol, however Latin letter D may also be utilized. If the mass or volume of an object is altered, the density of the thing may also change. Water, for example, has a specific density. An object will sink if its density exists greater than that of water; it will float if its density is lower.

Since a plastic sphere floats in water with 50% of its volume submerged.

So, the Density of the sphere = 1/2× water density

Since the same sphere floats in glycerin with 40% of its volume submerged.

So, the Density of the sphere = 4/100 × Glycerin density

= 2/5 × Glycerin density

Density of Glycerin = 5/2 of sphere density

Density of glycerin = 5/2 × 1/2 × water density

Density of glycerin = 5/4 × water density

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

vf = √(vi²+2*(F/m)*D)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the particle: M

Initial speed of the particle: vi

Force: F

Distance: D

We can apply the formula

F = M*a   ⇒    a = F/m

then we use the equation

vf = √(vi²+2*a*D)

⇒  vf = √(vi²+2*(F/m)*D)
