A tungsten wire has resistance R at 20°C. A second tungsten wire at 20°C has twice the length and half the cross-sectional area

of the first wire. In terms of R, the resistance of the second wire is

(2)2R
(3)R
(4)4R

The resistance is 4 times the resistance of the first wire. the formula is R = p*l/A with p being resistivity, l length and A area. So if you double length and half area, which botv result in more resistance, you get p*2/0.5 or 4 (p can be abandoned because it is the same. We take standard length and area as 1)

Which of the following is not a way that astronomers can find how much dark matter there is in cluster of galaxies?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>b. Observe the radio waves coming from all dark matter; from the strength of the radio waves from each cluster, estimate the amount of dark matter needed to produce them.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The universe is thought to be made up of 85% dark matters. <em>Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect. This means that option b is wrong since radio wave is an electromagnetic wave</em>. Dark matter is a form of matter that makes up  about a quarter of the total mass–energy density of the universe. Dark matter was theorized due a variety of astrophysical observations and gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless there were more matter in the universe than can be seen.

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.

Calculate delta g for the reaction if the partial pressures of the initial mixture are pcl5 = .0029 atm, pcl3 = .27 atm, and pcl
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: equation for the reaction is given below

PCL2+PCL3=PCL5

Where pcl2=0.40atm,pcl3=0.27atm

Pcl5=0.0029atm

Using ∆G=-RTin(PCL5/PCl2*PCL3)

Where R=8.314J/K/mol and T=298K

∆G=-8.314*298in(0.0029/0.40*.27)

∆G=8962.6J/mol

A 2.4 kg block is dropped onto a spring and platform of negligible mass. The block is released
statuscvo [17]

The speed of the block when the compression is 15 cm is 9.85 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the block, m = 2.4 kg</em>
  • <em>height of the block, h =  5 m</em>
  • <em>compression of the spring, x = 25 cm = 0.25 m</em>

The spring constant is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\mg = kx\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x} \\\\k = \frac{2.4 \times 9.8}{0.25} \\\\k = 94.08 \ N/m

The speed of the block when the compression is 15 cm can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy;

\Delta K.E = \Delta P.E\\\\\frac{1}{2} m(v^2  - v_{0 }^2 ) = mgh - \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2  = mgh -   \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\mv^2   = 2mgh - kx^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{2mgh - kx^2}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2mgh - kx^2}{m}} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{(2 \times 2.4 \times 9.8 \times 5) - (94.08 \times 0.15^2)}{2.4}} \\\\v = 9.85 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the block when the compression is 15 cm is 9.85 m/s.
