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

Earning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
lana [24]

Answer:

the work done by the 30N force is 4156.92 J.

For this problem, they don´t ask you to determine the work of the total force applied in the block. They only want the work done for the force of 30N, with an angle of 30º respectively of the displacement and a traveled distance of 160m. So:

W=F·s·cos(α)=30N·160m·cos(30º)=4156.92J

If a projectile fired beneath the water, straight up, breaks through the surface at a speed of 13m/s, to what height above the w
OlgaM077 [116]
Well if you had either the velocity or distance traveled i could tell you. But since you haven't all i can say for sure is that the water slowed the bullet down to 13m/s so lets say you knew the distance you would calculate how many meters it traveled and you would have your answer because in this situation, meters (height) =how many seconds spent going into the air.

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

Which of the following statements about Masters programs is not correct?
uranmaximum [27]

The correct answer is C. The level of competition is not very high in most Masters  programs.

Explanation:

In sports, the word "master" is used to define athletes older than 30 and that usually are professional or have trained for many years, although novates are also allowed. This means in most cases in Master programs and teams a high level of competition can be expected due to the experience and extensive training of Master athletes. Indeed, many records in the field of sport belong to Master athletes rather than younger athletes. According to this, the incorrect statement is "The level of competition is not very high in most Masters  programs".
