The resistance of a conductor is given by:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where
\rho is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the conductor
A is its cross-sectional area

We can use this formula to solve both parts of the problem.

a) The length of the copper wire is L=1.0 m. Its diameter is d=0.50 mm, so its radius is 
r= \frac{d}{2}=0.25 mm=0.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m
And its cross-sectional area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.25 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 = 1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2
The copper resistivity is \rho=1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(1.0 m)}{1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2}=  8.57 \cdot 10^{-2} \Omega

b) The length of this piece of iron is L=10 cm=0.10 m. Its cross-sectional size is L=1.0 mm=0.001 m, so its cross-sectional area is
A=L^2 = (0.001 m)^2 =1 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2
The iron resistivity is \rho = 9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(0.10 m)}{1.0 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=9.71 \cdot 10^{-3} \Omega

1. State the law of conservation of energy and what it means for you as a human considering how energy works.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: 1. The law of consevation of energy sates that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed or transfered from one form to another. The law of conservation of energy is found everywhere for example, Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

2. Different forms of energy are related because energy cannot be created or destroyed. they can all be transformed into from one form to another.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end.  If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of(16.6 {\rm m/s} ){\hat x}. Ignoring air resistance, the average acc
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j B) 23.9 m/s  c) 46º below horizontal.

Explanation:

A) Once released, the football is not under the influence of any external force in the horizontal direction, so it  continues moving at a constant speed equal to the initial velocity, i.e., 16.6 m/s.

If we choose the horizontal direction to be coincident with the x-axis, and make positive the direction towards the right (assuming that  this was the direction along which the football was thrown), we can write the horizontal component of the veelocity vector, as follows:

vₓ = 16.6 m/s i

In the vertical direction, the football, once released, is in free fall, starting from rest.

So, we can find the vertical component of the velocity vector, at a given point in time, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vy = a*t = -g*t = -9.81 m/s²*1.75 s = -17.2 m/s

Assuming that the upward direction is the positive  for the y-axis (perpendicular to the chosen  x-axis), we can write the vertical component of  the velocity vector, at t=1.75 s, as follows:

vy = -17.2 m/s j

So, the velocity vector, in terms of the unit vectors i and j, can be written in this way:

v = 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j

b) The magnitude of this vector can be found applying trigonometry, as the magnitude is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides equal to vx and vy, as follows:

v =\sqrt{(16.6m/s)^{2}+ (-17.2m/s)^{2}} = 23.9 m/s

v = 23.9 m/s

c) The direction of the vector (below the horizontal) can be found as the angle which tangent is given by the quotient between vy and vx, as follows:

tg θ =\frac{-17.2}{16.6} =-1.036

⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (-1.036) = 46º below horizontal.

39 g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.904 J/g·°C) at 24°C is placed in 166 mL (166 g) of coffee at 83°C and the temperature of th
tatuchka [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the solution is 80.14^oC

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, \text{heat}_{absorbed}=\text{heat}_{released}

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

Also,

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]    ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of aluminium = 39 g

m_2 = mass of coffee = 166 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = temperature of aluminium = 24^oC

T_2 = temperature of coffee = 83^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.904J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of coffee= 4.1801J/g^oC

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

39\times 0.904\times (T_{final}-24)=-[166\times 4.1801\times (T_{final}-83)]

T_{final}=80.14^oC

Hence, the final temperature of the solution is 80.14^oC
