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)

After 24.0 days 2.00 milligrams of an original 128.0. Milligram sample remain what is the half life of the sample

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

4 days

either multiply 128 by .5 until you get to 2 counting each time or use 2 formulas ln(n2/n1)=-k(t2-t1) to get k then input k into ln(2)=k*t1/2

n2 is final amount and n1 is beginning and t is either time elapsed as in the first formula or the actual half life that is t1/2

Two blocks of clay, one of mass 1.00 kg and one of mass 7.00 kg, undergo a completely inelastic collision. Before the collision

RideAnS [48]

Answer:8 m/s

Explanation:

Given

$m_1=1 kg$

$m_2=7 kg$

kinetic Energy of $m_1=32 J$

initially $m_2$ is at rest and let say $m_1$ is moving with velocity u

kinetic Energy of $m_1 is =\frac{m_1u^2}{2}=32$

$u^2=64$

$u=8 m/s$

In Completely inelastic collision both mass stick together and move with common velocity

Suppose v is the common velocity

$m_1u+0=(m_1+m_2)v$

$v=\frac{1\times 8}{1+7}=1 m/s$

therefore Final velocity with which both blocks moves is 1 m/s

A car moves uphill at 40 km/h and then back downhill at 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=48km/h$

Explanation:

Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{Total\hspace{3}distance}{Total\hspace{3}time}$ (1)

Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:

$Total\hspace{3}distance=2*d$

and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:

$Total\hspace{3}time=t1+t2$

From basic physics we know:

$t=\frac{d}{S1}$

so:

$t1=\frac{d}{S1}$

$t2=\frac{d}{S2}$

Using the previous information in equation (1)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d}{S1} +\frac{d}{S2} }=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d*S2+d*S1}{S1+S2} }$

Factoring:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*S1*S2}{S1+S2}$ (2)

Finally, replacing the data in (2)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*40*60}{60+40} =48km/h$
