1) First of all, let's find the resistance of the wire by using Ohm's law:
V=IR
where V is the potential difference applied on the wire, I the current and R the resistance. For the resistor in the problem we have:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{5.70 V}{17.6 A}=0.32 \Omega

2) Now that we have the value of the resistance, we can find the resistivity of the wire \rho by using the following relationship:
\rho =  \frac{RA}{L}
Where A is the cross-sectional area of the wire and L its length.
We already have its length L=2.90 m, while we need to calculate the area A starting from the radius:
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.654\cdot 10^{-3}m)^2=1.34 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2

And now we can find the resistivity:
\rho =  \frac{RA}{L}= \frac{(0.32 \Omega)(1.34 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2)}{2.90m}=  1.48 \cdot 10^{-7}\Omega \cdot m

Predict the energy transformation that occurs when carson sands a piece of wood with sandpaper.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

The hand provides Kinetic Energy in moving.

The KE is transformed to Frictional energy

The Frictional Energy can produce heat and light energy.

The sandpaper produces little shreds from the grit of the paper.

The shreds have KE (they move)

Tarzan and Jane. Because of your concern that incorrect science is being taught to children when they watch cartoons on TV, you
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

Explanation:

Let

m = Mass of Tarzan

M = Mass of Jane

Given

M = 2m

To calculate the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing, we make use of the potential energy at their initial and final position.

Reason being that;

At both the initial and final position, velocity is 0, so there's no kinetic energy.

And the potential energy remains the same (i.e constant) at any given point in the system.

Using P.E = mgh.

At initial position, PE1 = mgh

At final position, PE2 = (m + M)gH.

Where h and H represent the initial and final heights.

m + M is the new weight after Jane and Tarzan swing

Equating PE1 to PE2

mgh = (m + M)gH

By substituton (M = 2m)

mgh = (m + 2m)gH

mgh = 3mgH

Make H the subject of the formula

H = mgh/3mg

H = ⅓h

Hence, the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

From the question, the new height looks to be about ½ that of Jane's original position; i.e. ½h

The calculated height is smaller than what the cartoon is showing;

We can conclude that the cartoon is wrong.

How do i figure out this question?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)

The Shinkansen (bullet train in Japan) makes a trip from Tokyo Station to Kyoto station in 2 hours and 14 min. The distance trav
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

v =  57.2 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the train can be defined as the total distance covered by the train divided by the time taken by the train to cover that distance. Therefore, we will use the following formula to find the average velocity of the train:

v = s/t

where,

s = distance covered = 460 km = (460 km)(1000 m/1 km) = 4.6 x 10⁵ m

t = time taken to cover the distance = 2 h 14 min

Now, we convert it into minutes:

t = (2 h)(60 min/1 h) + 14 min

t = 120 min + 14 min = (134 min)(60 s/1 min)

t = 8040 s

Therefore, the value of velocity will be:

v = (4.6 x 10⁵ m)/8040 s

<u>v =  57.2 m/s</u>

While participating in a blood drive at school, Keona learns that blood has a density of 1.06 g/mL. She donates one pint of bloo
Sergio [31]

Answer:

m≈501.57 g

Explanation:

The density formula is:

d=m/v

Let’s rearrange the formula for m. m is being divided by v. The inverse of division is multiplication, so multiply both aides by v.

d*v= m/v*v

d*v=m

The mass can be found by multiply the density and the volume.

m=d*v

The density is 1.06 grams per milliliter and the volume is 473.176 milliliters.

d= 1.06 g/mL

v= 473.176 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

m= 1.06 g/mL * 473.176 mL

Multiply. When multiplying, the mL will cancel out.

m= 501.56656 g

Let’s round to the nearest hundredth. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 6 to a 7 in the hundredth place.

m ≈501.57 g

The mass is about 501.57 grams.
