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
(1)R/2
(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)

A car slows down from speed of 72
Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity  = 0km/hr

Time taken  = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

           1000m = 1km

           3600s = 1hr

  72km/hr;

          1km/hr  = 0.278m/s

         72km/hr = 0.278 x 72  = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

       Acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}  

       Acceleration  = \frac{0 - 20.02}{25}   = -0.8m/s

The car  is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

Recall that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the number of coils in the spring, or that shorter springs equate t
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x_1= 0.0425m

Explanation:

Using the tension in the spring and the force of the tension can by describe by

T = kx

, T = mg

Therefore:

m*g = k*x

With two springs, let, T1 be the tension in each spring,  x1 be the extension of each spring.  The spring constant of each spring is 2k so:

T_1 = 2k*x_1

2T_1 = m*g=4k x_1

Solve to x1

x_1=\frac{m*g}{4k}

x_1=\frac{k*x}{4*k}

x_1=\frac{x}{4}

x_1 = 0.170 / 4

x_1= 0.0425m

What happens when two waves meet
olganol [36]

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individualwaves upon the particles of the medium.Hope this help!

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.4 m below. The droplets are fal
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The third drop is 0.26m

Explanation:

The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:

T=sqrt(2h/g)

T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]

T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)

T= sqrt(0.4898)

T= 0.70seconds

4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds

The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds

Third drop will fall at t= 0.23

h=1/2gt^2

h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2

h= 0.26m
