order of decreasing thickness, what can be said about the ordering of their resistance?A. The wires will be arranged in order of increasing resistance.B. The wires will be arranged in order of decreasing resistance.C. The ordering of the resistances can not be determined because the resistivity is not given.D. The ordering of the resistances can not be determined because the length is not given.

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 bus is moving at 22m/s [E] for 12s. Then the bus driver slows down at 1.2m/s2 [W] until the bus stops. Determine the total dis
KatRina [158]
The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:

d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m

For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²

Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m

Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m +  201.67 m = 465.67 or  approximately 4.7×10² m.

A load of 800 N is lifted using a block and tackle having 5 pulleys. If the applied effort is 200 N, calculate
ser-zykov [4K]

Explanation:

Load=800N

Effort=200N

1. Mechanical Advantage = LOAD/EFFORT

= 800N/200N

= 4

2 Velocity Ratio = no. Of pulleys =5

3. Efficiency = Mechanical advantage / velocity ratio × 100%

= (4/5)×100%

=80%

4. output work= load×load distance

= 800N × 5m

= 4 × 1000J

5. Efficiency = (output work/input work) ×100%

Or, 80% = (4000J/input work) ×100%

Or, 80%/100% = 4000J/inputwork

Or, 4/5 = 4000J/inputwork

Or, input work =4000J × 5/4

Input work = 5×1000J

I hope it helped! ;-)
