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

Theorem: there is no smallest positive rational number.theorem: there is no smallest positive rational number. a proof by contra
matrenka [14]

Assume there is a smallest rational integer that has the following form: a/b

Then observe that we can define a/(b+1), which is strictly less than a/b because its divisor is bigger and is rational because it is the product of two numbers. Due to the contradiction created by our original claims that a/b is the smallest rational number that is possible, we might conclude that there is no such thing as the smallest rational number.

There can therefore be no smallest rational number because we may always define a smaller rational number than the one we now possess.

<h3>What is Rational number ?</h3>

Any number that can be expressed as a ratio is considered reasonable. It is therefore possible to represent it as a fraction when the numerator and denominator are both full numbers.

You throw a baseball directly upward at time ????=0 at an initial speed of 14.9 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches
xeze [42]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 11.32 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

The baseball is thrown directly upward at time, t = 0

Initial speed of the baseball, u = 14.9 m/s

Ignoring the resistance in this case and using a = g = 9.8 m/s²

We have to find the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand. Let the maximum height is h. Using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ah

At maximum height, v = 0

and a = -g = -9.8 m/s²

h=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

h=\dfrac{0-(14.9\ m/s)^2}{2\times -9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 11.32 meters

Hence, the maximum height of the baseball is 11.32 meters.
