A metal wire has a circular cross section with radius 0.800 mm. You measure the resistivity of the wire in the following way: yo

u connect one end of the wire to one terminal of a battery that has emf 12.0 V and negligible internal resistance. To the other terminal of the battery you connect a point along the wire so that the length of wire between the battery terminals is d. You measure the current in the wire as a function of d. The currents are small, so the temperature change of the wire is very small. You plot your results as I versus 1/d and find that the data lie close to a straight line that has slope 600 A⋅m.

Answer:

The value is   \rho  =  4.02 *10^{-8} \  \Omega \cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius is  r =   0.800 mm = 0.0008 \ m

   The voltage of the battery is  emf  =  12.0 V

    The slope is  s =  600 \ A \cdot m

Generally the resistance is mathematically represented as

     R  =  \frac{\rho *  d }{A }

Generally the current is mathematically represented as

      I = \frac{V}{R}

=>    I = \frac{V}{\frac{\rho *  d }{A }}

=>   I  =  \frac{V *  A }{\rho}  *  \frac{1}{d}

Comparing this equation to that of a straight line we see that the slope is  

      s =  \frac{V *  A }{\rho}

So    600  =  \frac{V *  A }{\rho}

Here A is the cross-sectional  area of the wire which is mathematically represented as

        A =  \pi r^2

=>       A =  3.142 *   (0.0008 )^2

=>       A =  2.011*10^{-6} \ m^2    

So

     600  =  \frac{12.0 *  (2.011*10^{-6}) }{\rho}

=>   \rho  =  \frac{12 * 2.011*10^{-6} }{600}

=>  \rho  =  4.02 *10^{-8} \  \Omega \cdot m

A 0.25 kg skeet (clay target) is fired at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizon with a speed of 25 m/s. When it reaches the maxi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

6.51 m and 37.13 m

Explanation:

from the question we were given

mass of skeet = 0.25 kg

speed of skeet = 25 m/s

angle = 30 degrees to the horizon

mass of pellet = 15 g

speed of pellet = 2000 m/s

without being hit by the pellet, the x and y components of the skeet velocity are  

Vx = 25 cos 30 = 21.65

Vy = 25 sin 30 = 12.5

now

V = U + (a x t)

where V = final velocity, U = initial velocity , a = acceleration, t = time and s = distance

-25 sin 30 = 25 sin 30 + (-9.8 x t)

-12.5 = 12.5 - 9.8 t

t = 2.55 s

also

V^2 = U^2 + 2as  ( s = vertical distance and V = 0 )

0 = (25 sin 30)^2 + 2 x (-9.8) x Y

19.6 Y = 156.25

Y =7.97 m

the distance traveled without the pellet hitting the skeet can be gotten using distance = speed x time

distance = 21.65 x 2.55 = 55.2 m

applying the conservation of linear momentum

on the x axis : (Ms x Us) + (Mp x Up) = (Ms x Vx) + (Mp x Vx)  ...equation 1

on the y axis :   (Ms x Us) + (Mp x Up) = (Ms x Vy) + (Mp x Vy) ...equation 2

(0.25 x 25 cos 30) + 0 = (0.25 +0.015) Vx

 Vx = 20.42m/s

0 + (0.015 x 200) = (0.25 + 0.015) Vy

 Vy = 11.32 m/s

now V^2 = U^2 + 2 as

 0 = 11.3^2 + (2 x (-9.8) x s)

s = 6.51 m                          

  • to find the extra distance moved after collision we apply

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

-7.98 = 11.32t + 1/2 (-9.8) t^2

4.9 t^2 - 11.32t + 7.98

t =  3.17 s

recall that distance = speed x time

distance = 20.42 x 3.17 = 64.73 m

the distance of the skeet before being hit would be half of the distance it travels without being hit, this is because the skeet was hit at its maximum height = 55.2 /2

= 27.6 m

therefore the extra distance traveled would be the change in distance = 64.73 -27.6 = 37.13 m

Leni [432]

Answer:

The length of line is 78 cm or 0.78 m.

Explanation:

initial reading 2 mark

final reading 80 cm

The length of the line

= final reading - initial reading

= 80 - 2

= 78 cm

1 cm = 0.01  m

So, 78 cm = 0.78 m
