Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

Describe the parts of a lever. Include the following terms (fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm).
yarga [219]

Answer:

hi here is your answer and this is a very important question.

Explanation:

A lever is a rigid bar with three parts: the fixed point around which the bar pivots is the fulcrum: the effort arm (in-lever arm) is the part of the lever to which force is applied; the resistance arm (out-lever arm) is the part that bears the load to be moved.

Alinara [238K]
The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius
