The SAME amount of current I passes through three different resistors. R2 has twice the cross-sectional area and the same length

as R1, and R3 is three times as long as R1 but has the same cross-sectional area as R1. 1)In which case is the CURRENT DENSITY through the resistor the smallest

Answer:

resistor R₂ has the lowest current density

Explanation:

The current density is

          j = I / A

now let's analyze each case

a) R₂ has an area 2A₀ and a length L₀ that R₁

b) R₃ has an area Ao and a length 3L₀ what R₁

we can see that all the area is given in relation to the resistance R₁

 

the current density in R₁ is

         j₁ = I / A₀

the current density in R₂

         j₂ = I / 2A₀

         j₂ 2 = ½ I/A₀

the current density in R₃

         j₃ = I / A₀

         j₂ < j₁ = j₃

therefore resistor R₂ has the lowest current density

A 20-kg object is subjected to three forces which produce an acceleration a = -8 m.s^-2 i + 6.0 m.s^-2 j on the object. Two of t
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

F₃ = -151 N i + 96 N j

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Forces acting on the object

F₁= 3.0 N i + 16.0 N j

F₂ = -12.0 N i+ 8.0 N j

F₃ = F₃x N i +F₃ y N j

x component of the net force on the object

Fx=F₁x+F₂x+F₃ x

Fx = 3.0 N-12.0 N +F₃x

Fx = F₃x - 9 N

y component of the net force on the object

Fy=F₁y+F₂y+F₃ y

Fy =16.0 N+ 8.0 N +F₃y

Fy = F₃y + 24 N

Newton's second law to the object:

a = -8 m/s² i + 6.0 m/s² j

∑Fx = m*ax    m=20 kg , ax = -8 m/s²

F₃x - 9 = 20 *(-8)

F₃x = -160+9

F₃x = -151 N

∑Fy = m*ay    m=20 kg , ay = 6 m/s²

F₃y + 24 =20*( 6 )

F₃y =120 - 24

F₃y = 96 N

F₃ = -151 N i + 96 N j

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Displacement from the starting position is 1224m

Explanation:

The object is moving at 120 meters per second, it does this for 10.2 seconds. Use multiplication to find the answer.

120 \times 10.2 = 1224
