You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte

ry. The first piece has a length L and cross-sectional area A. The second is twice as long as the first, but has the same thickness. The third is the same length as the first, but has twice the cross-sectional area. Rank the wires in order of which carries the most current (has the lowest resistance) when connected to batteries with the same voltage difference.

Answer:

I3 > I1 > I2

Explanation:

Length of first piece = L

Area of first piece = A

Length of second piece = 2L

Area of second piece = A

Length of third piece = L

Area of third piece = 2A

The current is maximum when the resistance is minimum.

Let ρ is the resistivity of the material of wire.

The formula for the resistance is given by

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

Resistance of first wire

R_{1} = \rho \frac{L}{A} = R

Resistance of second wire

R_{2} = \rho \frac{2L}{A}=2R

Resistance of third wire

R_{3} = \rho \frac{L}{2A}=\frac{R}{2}

R3 < R1 < R2

I3 > I1 > I2

Thus, the current is maximum in third wire is maximum and minimum in second wire.

On Venus, the acceleration due to gravity is 8.87 m / s 2 . How far would a 17 g rock fall from rest in 6.5 s if the only force
algol [13]

Answer:

187.38 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2gt²...................... Equation 1

Where s = distance of fall, u = initial velocity of the rock, t = time taken for the rock to fall from rest, g = acceleration due to gravity of venus.

Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), t = 6.5 s, g = 8.87 m/s².

substituting into equation 1

s = 0(6.5) + 1/2(8.87)(6.5)²

s = 0 + 374.7575/2

s = 187.38 m.

Hence the rock will fall 187.38 m

An electron moves at 0.130 c as shown in the figure (Figure 1). There are points: A, B, C, and D 2.10 μm from the electron.
Olegator [25]

Hi there!

We can use Biot-Savart's Law for a moving particle:
B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v}\times \vec{r}}{r^2 }

B = Magnetic field strength (T)
v = velocity of electron (0.130c = 3.9 × 10⁷ m/s)

q = charge of particle (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

r = distance from particle (2.10 μm)

There is a cross product between the velocity vector and the radius vector (not a quantity, but specifies a direction). We can write this as:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }

Where 'θ' is the angle between the velocity and radius vectors.

a)
To find the angle between the velocity and radius vector, we find the complementary angle:

θ = 90° - 60° = 30°

Plugging 'θ' into the equation along with our other values:

B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }\\\\B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(30)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 }

B = \boxed{7.07 *10^{-10} T}

b)
Repeat the same process. The angle between the velocity and radius vector is 150°, and its sine value is the same as that of sin(30°). So, the particle's produced field will be the same as that of part A.

c)

In this instance, the radius vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular so

'θ' = 90°.

B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(90)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 } = \boxed{1.415 * 10^{-9}T}

d)
This point is ALONG the velocity vector, so there is no magnetic field produced at this point.

Aka, the radius and velocity vectors are parallel, and since sin(0) = 0, there is no magnetic field at this point.

\boxed{B = 0 T}

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is 0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94  m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2

v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}

v=6.166\ m/s

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'

v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}

v'=5.38\ m/s

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}

a=776.98\ m/s^2

a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is 0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2
