Answer:

The option is not there.

Explanation:

Given:

Before melting:

Radius, r

Length, l

Resistance, R

Resistivity, p

After melting:

Length, l2 = 1/2 × l

Using the resistivity relation,

p × l = R × A

Where A = area

Since only the length of the conductor changed, volume also will be affected.

Volume, V = area × l

Area, A2 = V/(1/2l)

= 2 × V/l

(R × A)/l = (R2 × A2)/(l/2)

(R × V/l)/l = (R2 × 2 × V/l)/(l/2)

(R × V)/l^2 = 4 × (R2 × V)/l^2

R = 4 × R2

R2 = R/4

Where

R2 = resistance of the new conductor

Answer:

b) R/4 (There seems to an error in mentioning the multiple choices of this question, please see below explanation of correct calculations for this  question.)

Explanation:

dimension of the conductor before melting is l, r

reistivity is p

R=(p*l)/(pie*r2)

after reforming length is reduced to L=l/4

volume in both the cases will be same

i.e. pie * r^2 * l =pie * R^2 * L

r^2 * l = R^2 * (1/2)l

due to this radius will become R=sqrt(2) * r

now new reistance is given by Rx=(p * L)/(pie * R^2)

i.e. Rx=(p * l/2)/(pie * r^2 * 2)

after simplification RX=((p * l)/(pie * r^2))/4

i.e. Rx=R/4

A 200N force pushes forward on the 20kg truck. The truck pulls two crates connected together by ropes, as shown. The gravitation
devlian [24]

Force on left crate, right crate and truck we need to draw here

First we will write the equation for left crate

T_{left} = m*a

T_{left} = 20*a

Now similarly for right crate

T_{right} - T_{left} = 20*a

now for truck

F - T_{right} = 20*a

Now we know that F = 200 N

200 - T_{right} = 20*a

now add all three equation

T_{left} + T_{right} - T_{left} + 200 - T{right} = 20a + 20 a + 20a

200 = 60 a

a = 10/3 m/s^2

now we will find all tension using this value of acceleration

T_{left} = 20 * \frac{10}{3} = \frac{200}{3} N

T_{right} - \frac{200}{3} = 20*\frac{10}{3}

T_{right} = \frac{400}{3} N

An object was released from rest at height of 1.65 m with respect to ground. Determine the time it takes the object to reach the
vivado [14]

Answer:

The time taken by the object to reach the ground is 0.58 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object was released from rest at height of 1.65 m with respect to ground. We need to find the time taken by the object to reach the ground. Initial speed of the object is 0 as it is at rest. It will move downward under the action of gravity such that, the distance covered by the object is given by :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.65}{9.8}}

t = 0.58 seconds

So, the time taken by the object to reach the ground is 0.58 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Please Help!<br><br><br>What is inertia? What does inertia depend on?
Lemur [1.5K]
Inertia is that quantity which depends solely upon mass. The more mass, the more inertia. Momentum is another quantity in Physics which depends on both mass and speed.

A coin is dropped from a height of 421 m. calculate the velocity of the coin after 3 s​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

29.4 m.s

Explanation:

Vf = vo + at       v o = original velocity = 0 in this case

Vf = at

   = 9.81 m/s^2 * 3 = 29.4 m/s
