Answer:

The vehicle with the most mass

Explanation:

Momentum is the quantity of motion in a body and it is dependent on its mass and velocity.

Momentum = m x v

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Now,

Both mass and velocity are directly proportional to momentum. Since the two bodies moves with the same velocity, the vehicle with the most mass will have the greatest momentum

Calculate the ratio of the resistance of 12.0 m of aluminum wire 2.5 mm in diameter, to 30.0 m of copper wire 1.6 mm in diameter

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: 0.258

Explanation:

The resistance $R$ of a wire is calculated by the following formula:

$R=\rho\frac{l}{s}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material the wire is made of. For aluminium is $\rho_{Al}=2.65(10)^{-8}m\Omega$ and for copper is $\rho_{Cu}=1.68(10)^{-8}m\Omega$

$l$ is the length of the wire, which in the case of aluminium is $l_{Al}=12m$ , and in the case of copper is $l_{Cu}=30m$

$s$ is the transversal area of the wire. In this case is a circumference for both wires, so we will use the formula of the area of the circumference:

$s=\pi{(\frac{d}{2})}^{2}$ (2) Where $d$ is the diameter of the circumference.

For aluminium wire the diameter is $d_{Al}=2.5mm=0.0025m$ and for copper is $d_{Cu}=1.6mm=0.0016m$

So, in this problem we have two transversal areas:

For aluminium:

$s_{Al}=\pi{(\frac{d_{AL}}{2})}^{2}=\pi{(\frac{0.0025m}{2})}^{2}$

$s_{Al}=0.000004908m^{2}$ (3)

For copper:

$s_{Cu}=\pi{\frac{(d_{Cu}}{2})}^{2}=\pi{(\frac{0.0016m}{2})}^{2}$

$s_{Cu}=0.00000201m^{2}$ (4)

Now we have to calculate the resistance for each wire:

Aluminium wire:

$R_{Al}=2.65(10)^{-8}m\Omega\frac{12m}{0.000004908m^{2}}$ (5)

$R_{Al}=0.0647\Omega$ (6) Resistance of aluminium wire

Copper wire:

$R_{Cu}=1.68(10)^{-8}m\Omega\frac{30m}{0.00000201m^{2}}$ (6)

$R_{Cu}=0.250\Omega$ (7) Resistance of copper wire

At this point we are able to calculate the ratio of the resistance of both wires:

$Ratio=\frac{R_{Al}}{R_{Cu}}$ (8)

$\frac{R_{Al}}{R_{Cu}}=\frac{0.0647\Omega}{0.250\Omega}$ (9)

Finally:

$\frac{R_{Al}}{R_{Cu}}=0.258$ This is the ratio

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is $1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV$ .

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

$1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J$

The energy of a wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the wavelength of these photon is $1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$ .

The space shuttle travels at a speed of about 7.6times10^3 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 110 ms. How many foo

sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

$Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters$

Thus no of football fields= $\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields$
