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

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

102000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

A total Δν = 15 km/s

first stage mass = 1000 tonnes

specific impulse of liquid rocket =  300 s

Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s

specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s

Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s

First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds

Now,

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg

Also,

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg

Therefore,

The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage

= 90000 kg +  12000 kg

= 102000 kg

11m if you add 6+5 you get 11 but of course you need the “m” in the mix so 11m but correct me if I’m wrong.

A basketball player throws a basketball m = 1 kg straight up with an initial speed of v0 = 9.5 m/s. The ball leaves his hand at
brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. So that the initial energy on the system is equivalent to the final energy.

The initial or final energy will also be the TOTAL mechanical energy of the body.

In the case of the initial energy we will have two types of energy on the body: Kinetic energy and potential energy.

For the case of the final energy we will only have the potential energy in terms of the height h_m, the mass m, and the gravity g

E_i = E_f

KE_i + PE_i = PE_f

\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 +mgh_0 = mgh_m

E = mgh_m

The total mechanical energy will be equivalent in the terms required, to the final potential energy.
