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

-- 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>

Jupiter's satellite Europa orbits Jupiter with a period of 3.55 d at an orbital radius of 6.71 108 m (assume the orbit to be cir

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

(c) E = 0.28 N/kg

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}$

$M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}$

$M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}$

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

$v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}$

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

$E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}$

$E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}$

E = 0.28 N/kg

A disk rotates around an axis through its center that is perpendicular to the plane of the disk. The disk has a line drawn on it

natka813 [3]

Answer:

$t = \frac{\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} -\omega0}{\alpha}$

Explanation:

The rotated angle is given by:

$\theta=\omega0*t+1/2*\alpha*t^2$

Since this is a quadratic equation it can be solved using:

$x=\frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}$

Rewriting our equation:

$1/2*\alpha*t^2+\omega0*t-\theta=0$

$t = \frac{\±\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} -\omega0}{\alpha}$

Since $\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} >\omega0$ we discard the negative solution.

$t = \frac{\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} -\omega0}{\alpha}$

Which part of a stream's sediment load moves the slowest?

Rudiy27

The bed load moves the slowest from all the parts of the stream's sediment. It consists of particles suspended that are suspended and float around the bed. This part is the slowest in motion, as it rolls, and moves with the flow. The particles near the bed are not dissolved so they settle at the bottom and move with the stream.
