Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

$R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}$

where:

R = resistance of the wire

$l =$ length of the wire

$a=$ cross sectional area of the wire

from the above relation we observe that

$R\propto l$

$R\propto \frac{1}{a}$

Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

Answer:

(a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed v₁= 60 mph

Speed v₂ = 225 mph

Speed v₃ = 235 mph

(a). We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

$P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v^2+\rho gh$

there, no vertical movement

So, on neglect of height term

$P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2$

Where, P= atmospheric pressure

$\rho$ = air density

v = speed

Put the value in the equation

$P_{1}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(60\times1.4667)^2)$

$P_{1}=2126.0\ lb/ft^2$

$P_{1}=\dfrac{2126.0}{144}$

$P_{1}= 14.76\ psi$

(b). Speed v₂ = 225 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

$P_{2}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{2}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(225\times1.4667)^2)$

$P_{2}=2246.17\ lb/ft^2$

$P_{2}=\dfrac{2246.17}{144}$

$P_{2}= 15.59\ psi$

(c). Speed v₃ = 235 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

$P_{3}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{3}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(235\times1.4667)^2)$

$P_{3}=2257.93\ lb/ft^2$

$P_{3}=\dfrac{2257.93}{144}$

$P_{3}= 15.68\ psi$

According to bernoulli's equation,

If the car increases the velocity the the pressure on the surface of the driver's hand increases.

The pressure from P₁ to P₃ are all near the value of one atmosphere.

So, the pressure difference of one atmosphere is not enough to break the driver's hand.

Hence, (a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

$acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\$ .

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

$\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\$

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

$a=653*0.1667*0.354\\$

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\ a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

A hot air balloon is traveling vertically upward at a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. When it is 28 m above the ground, a package is

ella [17]

Answer:

1.97 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21=4.5t+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 21=-4.5t-4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2+4.5t-28=0\\\Rightarrow 49t^2+45t-280=0$

Solving the above equation we get

$t=\frac{-45+\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}, \frac{-45-\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}\\\Rightarrow t=1.97, -2.89$

So, the time the package was in the air is 1.97 seconds
