A ductile metal wire has resistance R. What will be the resistance of this wire in terms of R if it is stretched to three times

its original length, assuming that the density and resistivity of the material do not change when the wire is stretched. (Hint: The amount of metal does not change, so stretching out the wire will affect its cross-sectional area.)

Answer:

9R

Explanation:

We know that the resistance is R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}.

If we stretch the wire to a new length L2 = 3L, the cross-sectional area will also change. If the cross-sectional area doesn't change throughout the wire, we can say that:

Volume = L*A = 3L * A2    being A2 the new area after stretching the wire.

Since the volume remains the same we conclude that A2 = A/3

With this information, we calculate the new resistance:

R2=\rho *\frac{L2}{A2}=\rho *\frac{3*L}{A/3}=\rho * 9 * \frac{L}{A}

Since R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}, and by simple inspection of the previous equation, we get:

<em>R2 = 9*R</em>

If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m

or in kilometers,

h_2 = 47 km

the first altitude in kilometers is

h_1 = 155 km

so the difference between the two altitudes is

\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t

Clearing for time,

t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}

t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}

t = 0.1s

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}

Then

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}

F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}

F = -384000N

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax

0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)

a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}

a=480m/s^2

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}

a = 53.3g
