Answer:

\frac{d_2}{d_1} = \sqrt2 = 1.41

Explanation:

As resistor is connected to the battery of constant EMF then the power across the resistor is given as

P = \frac{E^2}{R}

now if two resistors are made up of same material and of same length then due to different cross sectional area they both have different resistance

Due to different resistance they both will have different power

Since power is inversely depends on the resistance

So if the power is twice that of the other then the resistance must be half

so we have

R_1 = \rho \frac{L}{A_1}

R_2 = \rho\frac{L}{A_2}

since one resistance is half that of other resistance

So the area of one must be twice that of other

so we have

\frac{A_2}{A_1} = 2

\frac{\pi d_2^2}{\pi d_1^2} = 2

d_2 = 1.41 d_1

To reach a vertical height of 13.8 ft against gravity, which has an acceleration of 32 ft/s^2, the required vertical speed can be calculated from the equation:
vi^2 - vf^2 = 2*g*h
Given that it has vf = 0 (it is not moving vertically at its maximum height), g = 32, and h = 13.8, we can solve for vi:
vi^2 = 29.72 ft/s
This is only its vertical speed, so this is equivalent to its original speed multiplied by the sine of the angle:
29.72 ft/s = (v_original)*(sin 42.2<span>°</span>)
v_original = 44.24 ft/s
Converting to m/s, this can be divided by 3.28 to get 13.49 m/s.

In 8.5 s a fisherman winds 2.4 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

9.412 rad/s.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position.

V = x/t

Where x is the distance in m

= 2.4 m

t is time taken in s

= 8.5 s

V = 2.4/8.5

= 0.2824 m/s.

Equating linear velocity and angular velocity,

V = ω*r

Where,

ω Is the angular speed in rad/s

r is the radius of the circle in m

= 3 cm

= 3cm * 1m/100 cm = 0.03 m

ω = V/r

= 0.2824/0.03

= 9.412 rad/s.

Could someone help me with these few problems
ivolga24 [154]

1. Pressure = Force/Area

When a ballon is pressed against many pins then the area is increased as compared to when it is pressed against a single pin. The force by which the balloon is pressed remains the same. Less the area, more the pressure. So, the balloon pops when it is pressed against one pin.

2. The candle goes off when covered with a glass because for burning the candle need oxygen. When glass on placed on the candle then the oxygen supply is stopped. So, when available oxygen is finished, the candle goes off. Water rises in the glass, because when the candle is burning, it expands the air inside the glass due to its heat. But when candle wents off, the air is cooled again and it contracts. So, a vacuum is created. That's why the water rises in the glass to fill the vacuum and to balance the air pressure inside and outside the glass.

3. Objects tend to maintain their state of motion or rest unless subjected to an external force. This property is called Inertia. More the mass more the inertia. When sudden brakes are applied, then our body still tends to remain in motion. That's why our body go forward.
