Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Resistance is the property of the material which resists the flow of current.

The expression for the resistance is as follows:

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Here, $\rho$ is the density of the wire, l is the length of the wire and A is the area of the cross section of the wire.

The resistance of the wire depends on the length of the wire, area of the cross section of the wire and the temperature.

The thicker wire has less resistance. The thinner wire has more resistance.

The longer wire has more resistance in comparison to the shorter wire in length. The resistance of the wire increases with increase in temperature.

The resistance does not depend on the weight of the wire.

Therefore, the correct option is weight.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$
