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

An investigator collects a sample of a radioactive isotope with an activity of 490,000 Bq.48 hours later, the activity is 110,00
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is "22.27 hours".

Explanation:

Given that:

Radioactive isotope activity,

= 490,000 Bq

Activity,

= 110,000 Bq

Time,

= 48 hours

As we know,

⇒ A = A_0 e^{- \lambda t}

or,

⇒ \frac{A}{A_0}=e^{-\lambda t}

By taking "ln", we get

⇒ ln \frac{A}{A_0}=- \lambda t

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ -ln \frac{110000}{490000} = -48 \lambda

⇒    -1.4939=-48 \lambda

                 \lambda = 0.031122

As,

⇒ \lambda = \frac{ln_2}{\frac{T}{2} }

then,

⇒ \frac{ln_2}{T_ \frac{1}{2} } =0.031122

⇒ T_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{ln_2}{0.031122}

         =22.27 \ hours

According to the Guinness Book of World Records (1990 edition, p. 169), the highest rotary speed ever attained was 2010 m/s (450
Valentin [98]

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every moment. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circle that gives rise to centripetal acceleration, the mathematical expression is given as,

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v =  Tangential Velocity

r = Radius

The linear velocity was 2010m/s in a radius of 0.159m, then the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{2010^2}{0.159}

a = 2.54*10^7m/s^2

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the end of the rod is 2.54*10^7m/s^2

Share your thoughts on placing children in daycare for many hours each day while parents are at work.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

It's terrifying, but a relief that you know your children isn't home alone.

Explanation:

Why, it's because sometimes you don't know what is going on in the daycare. The baby/ the child you gave birth to is in the hands of a random stranger. It's also a relief knowing that at least someone is taking care of your child, or hope to be. Instead of your child, no adult supervision or any people watching your child can result in death, injuries, and more since your child is alone.
