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

jolli1 [7]

Both hits the ground <u>at the same time</u> because they have <u>same vertical acceleration</u>

<h3>What is vertical  acceleration?</h3>

A vertical acceleration is typically one for which the direction of the vector is vertically upward, usually aligned with and opposite to the gravity vector. But this is a descriptive term, not a rigorous or technical term. A car may accelerate along a road and that would generally be assumed to be a horizontal.

The vector perpendicular to this direction, as perhaps a suspension motion over a bump, would be described as vertical even if it is not strictly vertical.

Note that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector. But the gravitation vector, ‘g’, generally vertically downward, is often denoted by what acceleration a mass in free fall (absent air resistance) would experience, i.e. the relationship between mass and weight.

Marcus drove his Honda Prelude for 4 hours at a rate of 55 miles per hour. How far did he travel?
galben [10]
To solve this, you’d multiply 55 by 4, because he is travelling 55 miles every hour, for four hours, which means 55 miles every hour. The answer would be 220.

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.
