Answer:

Option A is correct.

The wires will be arranged in order of increasing resistance.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by

r = (ρl)/A

where r = resistance of the wire

ρ = resistivity of the wire

L = length of the wire

A = cross sectional area of the wire

Provided all the other parameters are constant, resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area

r ∝ (1/A)

And the the cross sectional Area of the wire increases with increase in thickness & decreases with thickness

So, decreasing thickness ----> Decreasing Cross sectional Area ----> Increasing resistance.

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that have edge length equal to 1.20×102cm and are separated by 1.00 mm. It is conne
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be 1.835\times 10^{-6}J

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = 1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 m^2

Separation is given as d  1 mm = 10^{-3}m

We know that capacitance is given by C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J

Calculate the distance travel if it accelerates from 0 to 27.8 meters per second in 2.5 seconds
luda_lava [24]

The distance travel is 69.5 meters.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given datas are as follows

Speed = 27.8 meters / second

Time = 2.5 seconds

The formula to calculate the speed using distance and time is

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units)

Then Distance = Speed × Time (units)

Distance = (27.8 × 2.5) meters          

Distance = 69.50 meters

Therefore the distance travelled is 69.50 meters.

A student uses a spring loaded launcher to launch a marble vertically in the air. The mass of the marble is
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Part a)

When spring compressed by 2 cm

H = 1.47 m

Part b)

When spring is compressed by 4 cm

H = 5.94 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the spring is compressed and released

so here spring potential energy is converted into gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So we will have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mg(H + x)

0.5(220)(0.02)^2 = 0.003(9.81)(H + 0.02)

so we have

H = 1.47 m

Part b)

Similarly when spring is compressed by 4 cm

then we have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mg(H + x)

0.5(220)(0.04)^2 = 0.003(9.81)(H + 0.04)

so we have

H = 5.94 m
