Wire 1 has a resistance R1. Wire 2 is made of the same material, with length 1/2 as long and diameter 1/4. What is the resistanc

e ratio R2/R1?

-- reduce the length of a wire to 1/2 . . . cut the resistance in half

-- reduce the diameter to 1/4 . . . reduce the cross-section area by (1/4²) . . . increase the resistance by 16x .

-- R2 = (R1) · (1/2) · (16)  =  8 · R1

<em>-- R2 / R1  =  8</em>

Please help me. Clear answer please and the formula and everything
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

(a) At level A Potential Energy is 2940 J.

(b) At level B Potential Energy is 1960 J.

(c) At level C Potential energy is 1470 J.

(d) At level D Potential energy is 0 J.

(e) The change in Potential energy if the object moves from A to B is 980 J.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of an object is 5 kg (m) at a height of 60 m (h) above the ground as shown in the given figure.

Potential energy of an object is calculated by using the formula m × g × h. “g” is acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s^2.

(a) At level A:  

At height (h) is 60 m above ground.

Potential energy = 5 × 9.8 × 60

Potential energy = 2940 J

(b) At level B:

At height (h) is 40 m above ground.

Potential energy = 5 × 9.8 × 40

Potential energy = 1960 J

(c) At level C:

At height (h) is 30 m above ground.

Potential energy = 5 × 9.8 × 30

Potential energy = 1470 J

(d) At level D:

At height (h) is 0 m above ground (object is on the ground).

Potential energy = 5 × 9.8 × 0

Potential energy = 0 J

(e) Change in “Potential energy” when it moves from “A” to “B”

Change in “Potential energy” in difference in initial “Potential energy”  (at level A) and final “Potential energy” (at level B)

= 2940 - 1960

= 980 J

Therefore, change in “Potential energy” is 980 J.

If a giant molecular cloud is 59 pc in diameter and a shock wave sweeps through at 18 km/s, how long will it take the shock wave
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The time it will take for the shock wave in years to sweep through the cloud is 3.2075 x 10⁷ years.

<h3>What is Velocity?</h3>

Velocity is the directional speed of a moving object as an indicator of its rate of change in location as perceived from a certain frame of reference and measured by a specific time standard.

As it is known that one parsec is equal to 3.086×10¹⁶ meters. Therefore, the diameter of the molecular cloud is,

Diameter of the molecule = 59 pc

                                            = 59 × 3.086×10¹⁶ meters

                                            = 1.82074 × 10¹⁸ meters

                                            = 1.82074 × 10¹⁵ kilometres

Given that the shock wave sweeps through at 18 km/s. And as it is known that velocity is the ratio of distance and time. Therefore, the time it will take for the shock wave to sweep through the molecule cloud is,

Velocity = Distance / Time

18 km/s =  1.82074 × 10¹⁵ km / Time

Time = 1.82074 × 10¹⁵ km / 18 km/s

t = 1.01152x10¹⁴ seconds

Since one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds, therefore, the time in  years is equal to,

t = 1.01152x10¹⁵ seconds / 31,536,000 seconds per year

t = 32,075,088.79 years

t = 3.2075 x 10⁷ years

Hence, the time it will take for the shock wave in years to sweep through the cloud is 3.2075 x 10⁷ years.
