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

A dart is thrown at a dartboard 3.66 m away. When the dart is released at the same height as the center of the dartboard, it hit
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The  angle is  \theta  =  15.48^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The distance of the dartboard from the dart is  d  =  3.66  \ m

     The time taken is  t =  0.455 \ s

   

The  horizontal component of the speed of the dart is mathematically represented as

      u_x =  ucos \theta

where u is the the velocity at dart is lunched

  so

      distance =  velocity \ in \ the\  x-direction  *  time

substituting values

      3.66 =   ucos  \theta *  (0.455)

 =>   ucos \theta =  8.04  \ m/s

From projectile kinematics the time taken by the dart can be mathematically represented as

         t  =  \frac{2usin \theta }{g}

=>    usin \theta =  \frac{g  * t}{2 }

       usin \theta =  \frac{9.8  * 0.455}{2 }

      usin \theta = 2.23

=>   tan \theta =  \frac{usin\theta }{ucos \theta }  =  \frac{2.23}{8.04}

       \theta  =  tan^{-1} [0.277]

      \theta  =  15.48^o

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h#The speed toward each other.

\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart is 101.54m/h

Brad walks and jogs to schooll every day. He averages 5 km/hr walking and 9 km/hr jogging. The distane from home to shool is 6 k
Vitek1552 [10]
We know that
Distance = speed x time
Let w be the time Brad spent walking. The time spent jogging will be 1 - w
6 = 5w + 9(1 - w)
w = 0.75 hours
Distance walked = 0.75 x 5
= 3.75 km

A box is placed on a 30o frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>2.78m/s²</em>

Explanation:

Complete question:

<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>

According to Newton's second law of motion:

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

Where:

\mu is the coefficient of friction

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting on the body

Ff is the frictional force

m is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration'

Given

\theta = 30^0\\\mu = 0.25\\g = 9.8m/s^2

Required

acceleration of the box

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:

Recall that:

gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax

9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax

4.9 - 2.1217 = ax

ax = 2.78m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>
