Answer: 247.5 ohms

Explanation: Since the two wires are of the same materials, their resistivity will be the same. Find solution attached.

Answer:

New Resistance = 247.5 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length / area

Since resistivity for the material is constant, resistance is directly proportional to (length/area).

This means that if (length/area) decreases or increases by any ratio, then resistance will increase or decrease by the same ratio.

So let's find the change in length/area

New length = 0.25 old length

New area = (1/9) old area                                 (This is because area equation contains a square of the diameter. if diameter decreases by 1/3, area decreases by (1/3)^2   )

So we now get length /area:

New length / new area = ( 0.25 old length) / (1/9 of old area)

New length / new area = 9*0.25 (old length / old area)

New length / new area = 2.25 (old length / old area)

To get the new resistance, we simply multiply it by the ratio we just found.

This equals:

110 * 2.25 = 247.5 ohm

A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself.  In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick.  So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass.  We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m.  And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge.  So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.

A. How many atoms of helium gas fill a spherical balloon of diameter 29.6 cm at 19.0°C and 1.00 atm? b. What is the average kine
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a) 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) 1349.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the balloon, d = 29.6 cm = 0.296 m

Temperature, T = 19.0° C = 19 + 273 = 292 K

Pressure, P = 1.00 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

Volume of the balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{d}{2})^3

or

Volume of the balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{0.296}{2})^3

or

Volume of the balloon, V = 0.0135 m³

Now,

From the relation,

PV = nRT

where,

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314  kg⋅m²/s²⋅K⋅mol

on substituting the respective values, we get

1.013 × 10⁵ × 0.0135 = n × 8.314 × 292

or

n = 0.563

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Thus,

0.563 moles will have = 0.563 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms = 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) Average kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}\times K_BT

where,

Boltzmann constant, K_B=1.3807\times10^{-23}J/K

Average kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}\times1.3807\times10^{-23}\times292

or

Average kinetic energy = 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) rms speed = \frac{3RT}{m}

where, m is the molar mass of the Helium = 0.004 Kg

or

rms speed = \frac{3\times8.314\times292}{0.004}

or

rms speed = 1349.35 m/s

What happens when charged object is brought near uncharged object?<br> Attract or Repel ?
Makovka662 [10]
When a charged object is brought near to but does not touch a neutral object, it causes the side of the neutral object that the charged object is near to become the other charge. It causes charge migration within the neutral object so the two charges (positive and negative) move to opposite sides of the object. Because the two objects do not touch, they do not repel each other, but rather have a slight attraction because of charge migration. If the two object were to touch then they would repel.

What is the mass of a man who accelerates 4 m/s2 under the action of a 200 N net force?
Over [174]

Answer:

\huge  \boxed{ \boxed{50 \:   kg }}

Explanation:

The mass of the man can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{200}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>50 kg</h3>
