Answer:

The resistance of the wire after it is stretched is 93.31R.

Explanation:

Resistance is the property of the material to oppose the current flow through it. It is given by the relation :

R = (ρl)/A

Here ρ is resistivity, l is length of wire and A is the area of the wire.

Let l₀, and A₀ are the original length and original circular cross section area of the wire. while l₁ and A₁ are the new length and new circular cross section area of the wire.

Volume of the original wire, V₀ = A₀ x l₀

Volume of the new wire, V₁ = A₁ x l₁

According to the problem. volume remain same. So,

V₀ = V₁

A₀ x l₀ = A₁ x l₁

It is given that l₁ = 9.66 x l₀. Substitute this value in the above equation;

A₀ x l₀ = A₁ x 9.66 x l₀

A₁ = A₀/9.66

Resistance of the original wire, R = (ρl₀)/A₀

Resistance of the new wire, R₁ = (ρl₁)/A₁

Substitute the value of l₁ and A₁ in the above equation.

R₁ = (ρ x l₀ x 9.66)/(A₀/9.66) = 93.31 x (ρl₀)/A₀

But (ρl₀)/A₀ = R. hence,

R₁ = 93.31 R

A 1400 kg car is moving at 33.8 m/s when a force is applied the opposite direction of the car's motion. The car slows down to 21

zubka84 [21]

Solve for acceleration:

<em>a</em> = (21.4 m/s - 33.8 m/s) / (4.7 s)

<em>a</em> ≈ -2.6 m/s²

Solve for force:

<em>F</em> = (1400 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ -3700 N

The minus sign tells you the force points in the opposite direction of the car's motion. Its magnitude is always positive, so <em>F</em> = 3700 N.

The formula is x = 1/2 at^2 and I have managed to fill in the variables as this. d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 1^2

Artyom0805 [142]

Right, as you mentioned in the comments, you find $d$ by plugging in the different values of $t$ .

For $t=1\,\mathrm s$ , we have

$d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1\,\mathrm s)^2$

$d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(1\,\mathrm s^2\right)$

$d=4.905\,\mathrm m$

Similarly, for $t=2\,\mathrm s$ , you get

$d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(2\,\mathrm s\right)$

$d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(4\,\mathrm s^2\right)$

$d=19.62\,\mathrm m$

A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.

What happens in a global convection cell? apex

zysi [14]

Answer:

In a global convection cell less –dense air at the equator rises and flows towards the poles. And from pole, the dense air sinks down and flows back towards the equator.... This movement of air is also supported by the Earth's rotation known as Coriolis Effect.

A capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius 11.0 cm ,

viktelen [127]

Part A)
First of all, let's convert the radii of the inner and the outer sphere:
$r_A = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m$
$r_B = 16.5 cm=0.165 m$
The capacitance of a spherical capacitor which consist of two shells with radius rA and rB is
$C=4 \pi \epsilon _0 \frac{r_A r_B}{r_B- r_A}=4\pi(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1}) \frac{(0.110m)(0.165m)}{0.165m-0.110m}=$
$=3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F$

Then, from the usual relationship between capacitance and voltage, we can find the charge Q on each sphere of the capacitor:
$Q=CV=(3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F)(100 V)=3.67\cdot 10^{-9}C$

Now, we can find the electric field at any point r located between the two spheres, by using Gauss theorem:
$E\cdot (4 \pi r^2) = \frac{Q}{\epsilon _0}$
from which
$E(r) = \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$
In part A of the problem, we want to find the electric field at r=11.1 cm=0.111 m. Substituting this number into the previous formula, we get
$E(0.111m)=2680 N/C$

And so, the energy density at r=0.111 m is
$U= \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _0 E^2 = \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(2680 N/C)^2=3.17 \cdot 10^{-5}J/m^3$

Part B) The solution of this part is the same as part A), since we already know the charge of the capacitor: $Q=3.67 \cdot 10^{-9}C$ . We just need to calculate the electric field E at a different value of r: r=16.4 cm=0.164 m, so
$E(0.164 m)= \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=1228 N/C$

And therefore, the energy density at this distance from the center is
$U= \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2 = \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(1228 N/C)^2=6.68 \cdot 10^{-6}J/m^3$
