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

Two particles are attracted to each other by the gravitational force between them. Particle 1 has a mass of 12kg, Particle 2 has
svlad2 [7]

Answer: 1.4 x 10^-8N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Particle 1 (m1) = 12kg

Mass of Particle 2 (m2) = 25kg

distance between particles (r) = 1.2m. Gravitational force (F) =

Apply the formula for gravitational force:

F = Gm1m2/r²

where G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.7 x 10^-11 Nm2/kg2

Then, F = (6.7 x 10^-11 Nm²/kg² x 12kg x 25kg) / (1.2m)²

F = (2.01 x 10^-8Nm²) / (1.44m²)

F = 1.396 x 10^-8N (Rounded to the nearest tenth as 1.4 x 10^-8N)

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the particles is 1.4 x 10^-8 Newton

As more energy from fossil fuels and other fuels is released on Earth, the overall temperature of Earth tends to rise. Discuss h
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

processes are competitive and reach a thermal equilibrium where the absorbed energy is equal to the energy emitted, this is the equilibrium temperature of the planet.

Explanation:

The temperature of planet Earth is due to two main types of process, internal and external.

Internal processes are all chemical processes that occur that release heat into the environment or due to gases that trap heat on the planet, greenhouse effect

External processes is heating due to energy coming from the Sun. This includes direct heating of the surface by the absorption of energy and reflects of energy in different atmospheric layers.

These are the two terms that heat the Earth

In addition there are several processes so the planet loses energy,

* energy radiation to outer space that is a few degrees kelvin, for which there is a permanent emission

* endothermic processes that need to absorb heat to perform, this lowers the temperature of the system

* liquid (water) system that absorbs large amounts of heat to change state and temperature.

These processes are competitive and reach a thermal equilibrium where the absorbed energy is equal to the energy emitted, this is the equilibrium temperature of the planet.

Therefore it is impossible for the temperature to increase indefinitely since the emission would increase by decreasing the value

In an inelastic collision involving an isolated system, the final total momentum is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: B) exactly the same as the initial momentum.

Explanation:

An inelastic collision occurs when the elements that collide remain together after the collision, and althogh the kinetic energy is not conserved because is transformed into other kinds of energy (thermal energy, for example), the linear momentum does.  

This means the initial momentum before the collision will be equal to the final momentum after the collision:

p_{o}=p_{f}
