A length of copper wire has a resistance 44 Ω. The wire is cut into three pieces of equal length, which are then connected as pa

rallel lengths between points A and B. What resistance will this new "wire" of length L0 3 have between points A and B? Answer in units of Ω.

Answer:

4.89 Ω

Explanation:

we know that resistance is directly proportional to length. hence as the wire is cut in three pieces, the resistance of each piece becomes one-third of the original resistance of the wire.

R = Resistance of wire = 44 Ω

r = resistance of each piece

Resistance of each piece  is given as

r = \frac{R}{3}\\r = \frac{44}{3}

The three pieces are connected in parallel,

R_{p} = Resistance of parallel combination of three pieces

Resistance of parallel combination is given as

\frac{1}{R_{p}}= \frac{1}{r} +  \frac{1}{r} +  \frac{1}{r} \\\frac{1}{R_{p}}= \frac{3}{r}\\R_{p}= \frac{r}{3}\\R_{p} = \frac{\frac{44}{3} }{3}\\R_{p} = \frac{44}{9} \\R_{p} = 4.89 ohm

Answer:

\frac{R}{1} = \frac{44}{9}\ohm

Explanation:

Let us imagine that there are three wire of length equal length having equal resistances each of 44/3 Ω

Now connect these wires in parallel to so that their equivalent resistance is R.

then

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{3}{44}+\frac{3}{44}+\frac{3}{44}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{9}{44}

⇒\frac{R}{1} = \frac{44}{9}\ohm

How to play track and field
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

Track and Field is a sport, which is includes disciplines of running, jumping, and throwing events. The sport traces back to Ancient Greece. The first recorded examples of this sport were at the Ancient Greek Olympics. In Ancient Greece, only one event was contested, the stadion footrace. Later on, the game expanded to more events.Events of track and field are divided into three: track events, field events, and combined events. Track events consist of Sprints, middle-distance, long distance, hurdles and relays; Field events consist of jumps and throws; while combined events consist of pentathlon, heptathlon, and decathlon. Track and field is usually played outdoors in stadiums. The usual features of a track and field stadium are the outer running track, and the field within the track

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

The repeating pattern of a minerals particles in a solid is called
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Crystal structure

Explanation:

The repeated pattern of similar particles in a material is called crystal. Crystal structure is the largest constituent unit of a solid matter.

The fundamental identity of a crystal structure is a unit cell that is formed by the arrangement of atoms or ions in a particular manner. A crystal is defined as a regular, long-ranged repeated arrangement of unit cells.

Crystal have a sharp melting and boiling point and they give a sharp edge on being cut with a knife.
