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 stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.
zavuch27 [327]
<span>A) x = 41t
    The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.</span>

You have a string with a mass of 0.0133 kg. You stretch the string with a force of 8.89 N, giving it a length of 1.97 m. Then, y
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(i) The wavelength is 0.985 m

(ii) The frequency of the wave is 36.84 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the string, m = 0.0133 kg

tensional force on the string, T = 8.89 N

length of the string, L = 1.97 m

Velocity of the wave is:

V = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{M/L} } \\\\V = \sqrt{\frac{8.89}{0.0133/1.97} } \ = 36.29 \ m/s

(i) The wavelength:

Fourth harmonic of a string with two nodes, the wavelength is given as,

L = 2λ

λ = L/2

λ = 1.97 / 2

λ = 0.985 m

(ii) Frequency of the wave is:

v = fλ

f = v / λ

f = 36.29 / 0.985

f = 36.84 Hz
