Answer: 1.3 *10^6 Ω*m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following expression for the resistence:

R=L/(σ*A) where L and A are the length and teh area for the wire, respectively. σ is the conductivity of teh Nichrome.

Then, from mteh OHM law we have V=R*I so R=V/I=2/3.2=0.625 Ω

Finally we have:

σ=L/(R*A)=1.3/(0.625*1.6*10^-6)=1.3*10^6 Ω*m

Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto
kenny6666 [7]

The net force on the barge is 8000 N

Explanation:

In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.

In this problem, we have two forces:

  • The force of tugboat A, F_A = 3000 N, acting in a certain direction
  • The force of tugboat B, F_B = 5000 N, also acting in the same direction

Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get

F=F_A+F_B = 3000 + 5000 = 8000 N

and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.

What is the energy in joules of a photon with a frequency of 3.16e 12 s-1?
erica [24]
We have: Energy(E) = Planck's constant(h) × Frequency(∨)
Here, Planck's constant(h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J/s
Frequency (∨) = 3.16 × 10¹² /s

Substitute the values into the expression:
E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3.16 × 10¹²) J
E = 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ Joules

In short, Your Final answer would be 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ J

Hope this helps!

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the
valina [46]
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\  \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\  \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\  \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\  \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\  \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\  \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3

Which explanation BEST supports Newton's second law of motion which states that force = mass x acceleration?
GaryK [48]
The answer is C. F=ma basically says that force is a function of mass multiplied by acceleration. The first two answers don’t make sense because there’s no necessary relationship between mass and acceleration. And for the last two, the higher the mass, the higher the force needed, therefore C is the correct answer.
