Answer:

Explanation:

For resistance of a wire , the formula is as follows .

R = ρ L/S

where ρ is specific resistance , L is length and S is cross sectional area of wire .

for first wire resistance

R₁ =  ρ 3L/3a = ρ L/a

for second wire , resistance

R₂ = ρ 3L/6a

= .5 ρ L/a

For 3 rd wire resistance

R₃ = ρ 6L/3a

= 2ρ L/a

For fourth wire , resistance

R₄ = ρ 6L/6a

=  ρ L/a

So the smallest resistance is of second wire .

Its resistance is .5 ρ L/a

What did the asymptote say to the removable discontinuity worksheet answers?
ra1l [238]

“Don't hand that holier than thou line to me” is what the asymptote said to the removable discontinuity.

 

 

The distance between the curve and the line where it approaches zero as they tend to infinity is the line in the asymptote of a curve. This is unusual for modern authors but in some sources the requirement that the curve may not cross the line infinitely often is included.

 

The point that does not fit the rest of the graph or is undefined is called a removable discontinuity. By filling in a single point, the removable discontinuity can be made connected.

A car travels across Texas m miles at the rate of t miles per hour. How many hours does the trip take??
Marianna [84]

Answer: The trip takes \frac{m}{t}hours

Explanation:

Velocity V is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled d) with time T:

V=\frac{d}{T}

In this case, the car travels a distance d=m miles at a velocity V=t \frac{miles}{hour} and we need to find the time it takes the trip.

Isolating  T:

T=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{m miles}{t \frac{miles}{hour}}

Finally:

T=\frac{m}{t}hours

in which of the following collisions would you expect the kinetic energy to be conserved? a. a bullet passes through a block of
Scorpion4ik [409]

An elastic collision is one in which the system does not experience a net loss of kinetic energy as a result of the collision. In elastic collisions, momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.

<h3>Explain about the Elastic Collision?</h3>

A collision between two bodies in physics is referred to as an elastic collision if their combined kinetic energy stays constant. There is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms, such as heat, noise, or potential energy, in an ideal, fully elastic collision

An example of an elastic collision is when two balls collide at a pool table. It is an elastic collision when you throw a ball on the ground and it bounces back into your hand because there is no net change in the kinetic energy.

If there is no kinetic energy lost in the impact, the collision is said to be perfectly elastic. A collision is considered to be inelastic if any of the kinetic energy is converted to another kind of energy during the collision.

At a time t = 2.80 s , a point on the rim of a wheel with a radius of 0.230 m has a tangential speed of 51.0 m/s as the wheel sl
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Part A) the angular acceleration is α= 44.347 rad/s²

Part B) the angular velocity is 195.13 rad/s

Part C)  the angular velocity is 345.913 rad/s

Part D ) the time is t= 7.652 s

Explanation:

Part A) since angular acceleration is related with angular acceleration through:

α = a/R = 10.2 m/s² / 0.23 m =   44.347 rad/s²

Part B) since angular acceleration is related

since

v = v0 + a*(t-t0) =  51.0 m/s + (-10.2 m/s²)*(3.4 s - 2.8 s) = 44.88 m/s

since

ω = v/R = 44.88 m/s/ 0.230 m = 195.13 rad/s

Part C) at t=0

v = v0 + a*(t-t0) =  51.0 m/s + (-10.2 m/s²)*(0 s - 2.8 s) = 79.56 m/s

ω = v/R = 79.56 m/s/ 0.230 m = 345.913 rad/s

Part D ) since the radial acceleration is related with the velocity through

ar = v² / R → v= √(R * ar) = √(0.23 m  * 9.81 m/s²)= 1.5 m/s

therefore

v = v0 + a*(t-t0) → t =(v -  v0) /a + t0 = ( 1.5 m/s - 51.0 m/s) / (-10.2 m/s²) + 2.8 s = 7.652 s

t= 7.652 s

The block in the figure below has a mass of 5.1 kg and it rests on an incline of angle . You pull on the rope with a force F = 3
viktelen [127]

42.9°

Explanation:

Let's assume that the x-axis is aligned with the incline and the positive direction is up the incline. We can then apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

x:\;\;\;\;F - mg\sin{\theta} = 0\;\;\;\;

\Rightarrow mg\sin{\theta} = F

Note that the net force is zero because the block is moving with a constant speed when the angle of the incline is set at \theta. Solving for the angle, we get

\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{F}{mg}

or

\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{F}{mg}\right)

\;\;\;=  \sin^{-1}\left[\dfrac{34\:\text{N}}{(5.1\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}\right]

\;\;\;=42.9°
