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

It says find the slope for each line I'm stuck on number one can you help me
Allushta [10]
\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

(-2, -1)(3, 1)

Therefore,

\text{slope}=\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)}=\frac{1+1}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}

katovenus [111]

Answer: ​Wernicke's aphasia

Explanation:

John recently suffered a blow to his head. Since then, he finds it difficult to comprehend what others say to him. He also finds it difficult to express his thoughts and cannot seem to find the right words to say while speaking. However, he can speak freely with proper syntax. In this scenario, John is most likely suffering from Wernicke's aphasia.

Wernicke's aphasia occurs when the leftward side of the middle of the brain is damaged or has been altered. An individual who suffers from Wernicke's aphasia will have difficulty in speaking in meaningful and coherent sentences or may have difficulty in understanding the speech of others.

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider
shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s
