The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w

ire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26 inches is 9850 ohms, what is the resistance of 2800ft of the same type of wire with a diameter of 0.1 inches? (Leave k in fraction form or round to at least 3 decimal places. Round off your final answer to the nearest hundredth.)

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω

A car travels due east with a speed of 38.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 116.926 km/h

Explanation:

To solve this we need to analise the relation between the car and the Raindrops. The cars moves on the horizontal plane with a constant velocity.

Car's Velocity (Vc) = 38 km/h

The rain is falling perpedincular to the horizontal on the Y-axis. We dont know the velocity.

However, the rain's traces on the side windows makes an angle of 72.0° degrees. ∅ = 72°

There is a relation between this angle and the two velocities. If the car was on rest, we will see that the angle is equal to 90° because the rain is falling perpendicular. In the other end, a static object next to a moving car shows a horizontal trace, so we can use a trigonometric relation on this case.

The following equation can be use to relate the angle and the two vectors.

Tangent (∅) = Opposite (o) / adjacent (a)

Where the Opposite will be the Rain's Vector that define its velocity and the adjacent will be the Car's Velocity Vector.

Tan(72°) = Rain's Velocity / Car's Velocity

We can searching for the Rain's Velocity

Tan(72°) * Vc = Rain's Velocity

Rain's Velocity = 116.926 km/h

Why is a normal eye not able to see clearly the object placed closer than 25 CM?​
podryga [215]
______________________________

Answer: The nearest position of an object from a normal human eye so that its image is formed on retina is 25 CM. If the object is placed at a distance less than 25 CM, then the blurred image of the object is formed on retina as the focal length of a lens cannot be decreased below a certain limit. Hence we cannot see it clearly.

guapka [62]

Answer:

The question does not state how the answer is to be entered. I would use 10% because that is most common.

Explanation:

You are using 300 J of energy to get 30 J of light energy. The fact that you can account for the left over energy is not relevant.

Efficiency = Work Out / Work In

Efficiency = 30 J / 300 J  = 0.1

If you need this as a %, you can multiply by 100

Efficiency = 0.1 * 100 = 10%
