Two wires A and B with circular cross-section are made of the same metal and have equal lengths, but the resistance of wire A is
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²

r = radius of wire

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

<u>FOR WIRE A</u>:

R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁²   -------- equation 1

<u>FOR WIRE B</u>:

R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂²   -------- equation 2

It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.

R₁ = 4 R₂

using values from equation 1 and equation 2:

ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²

since, the material and length of both wires are same.

ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ

L₁ = L₂ = L

Therefore,

ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²

1/r₁² = 4/r₂²

r₁²/r₂² = 1/4

taking square root on both sides:

<u>r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5</u>

A child with mass of 25 kg gets into a toy car with mass of 80 kg on a playground, causing it to sink on its springs (with effec
Bess [88]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.9Hz

Explanation:

This problem bothers on simple harmonic motion of a spring

Given data

Mass of the child m= 25kg

Spring constant k=791 N/m

Amplitude a= 31cm

But the period of the motion as a result of the adults sholve is expressed as

T=2π√m/k

T=2*3.142√25/791

T=6.284√0.031

T=6.284*0.176

T=1.11 sec

But frequency F=1/T

F=1/1.11

F=0.9Hz

A team exerts a force of 10 N towards the south in a tug of war. The other, opposite team, exerts a force of 17 N towards the no
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

According to the question:

Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N

Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N

Net Force, \vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F}

\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F} = 17 - 10 = 7 N

Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher

Therefore,

\vec{F_{net}} = 7 N towards North
