A piece of wire having a resistance R is cut into five equal parts. (i) How will the resistance of each part of the wire compare

with the original resistance? (ii) If the five parts of the wire are placed in parallel, how will the resistance of the combination compare with the resistance of the original wire? What w ill be ratio of resistance in series to that of parallel?

Answer:

i) R = R₀/ 5 , ii) Req = R₀ / 25, iii)    R_series / R_parallel = 25

Explanation:

i) The resistivity of a metal is constant, therefore resistance is

             R = ρ L / A

where we can see that cutting the resistance in 5 parts each part has

R = R₀/ 5

where R ose the original resistance.

ii) The equivalent resinification of a parallel resistance is

                   1 / Req = ∑ 1 / Ri

                    1 / Req = 5  1/ (R₀ / 5)

                    1 / Req = 25 / R₀

                    Req = R₀ / 25

to buy these values ​​we find their relationship

            R₀ / R_{paralel} = 25

iii) the series resistance is

              Req = 5 Ri

               q = 5 (Ro / 5)

              Req = Ro

the relationship between resistance in being and parallel is

               R_serie / R_parallel = R₀ / (R₀ / 25)

               R_series / R_parallel = 25

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Sarah's mother gets a flat tire on her car while driving Sarah to school. They use a jack to change the tire. It exerts a force
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

Which applications, either for diagnostic purposes or for therapeutic purposes, involve radioactive materials placed in the body
CaHeK987 [17]

When a radioactive material is required to be placed in the body, the applications are brachytherapy and radioisotope imaging.

Radioactive materials are elements which has the ability to disintegrate by emitting radioactive substance or radiation. A good example of this is Cobalt-60, Titanium-99 etc.

Brachytherapy is a therapeutic process in which radioactive material is inserted into the body in close proximity to the region affected. The radioactive material emits radiations which are required to control the unwanted biological material in the body. A good application of this is the treatment of cancer using Cobalt-60.

Radioisotope imaging is a diagnostic process which is an imaging technique that may require placing a radioactive material in the body so as to trace or locate the affected part of the body. In this case, the material is used as a tracing element.

The applications that require the placing of radioactive materials in the body are brachytherapy and radioisotope imaging.
