1) The resistance of wire B is four times as large as the resistance of wire A.
2) The power dissipated in wire A is 16 times the power dissipated in wire B.
3) The voltage drop across wire B is larger than the voltage drop across wire A.
4) The resistance of wire B is twice as large as the resistance of wire A.
5) The current through the battery is five times larger than the current through wire B.

Answer:

true  1

2 is false   2. 3 . 4. 5  

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's calculate the different parameters and analyze the corresponding statements.

the resistance of each wire

         R = ρ \frac{L}{A}

wire B.

has a diameter of d₀

therefore its radius is r₀ = d₀ / 2

the area is A = pi r₀²

                     A = π d₀²/ 4

we subtitle

          Ro = ρ \frac{L \ 4}{\pi  d_o^2}

          R_b = R₀

wire A

the diameter is d = 2d₀

therefore the radius is r = d/2

                        r = d₀

resistance is

              R_a = ρ \frac{L}{\pi  d_o}

   

              R_a = 4 R₀

when examining the answers

1 is true

4 is false

Now let's calculate the power

         P = V I

         V = I R

         P = V² / R

as they indicate that the cables are connected in parallel, the voltage in them is the same, therefore the potency depends on the resistance

         

wire B  

         P = V² / R_b

          P_b = V² / R₀

wire A

          P_a = v² / R_a

          P_a = V² / 4R₀

          P_a = ¼ P_b

2 is false

in a parallel circuit the waves are the same therefore

3 False

ohm's law is

         V = I r

         I = V / R

   

wire B

       I_b = V / R_b

       I_b = V / Ro

wire

       I_a = V / R_a

       I_a = V / 4 Ro

       I_a = ¼ I_a

5 is false

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The new value of g = 1.19 m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass  =290 g

Spring size  = 40 cm

The size of spring after streches = 23 cm

Pulling the mass down at  = 11.7 cm

The stopwatch shows the number of oscillations in 17.7 s = 9 osscillations.

The oscillation frequency is independent to g.

So, w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\T = \frac{17.7}{9} = 1.966 \\W = \frac{2\pi}{T} = 3.197 \\w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\k = w^{2}m \\k = (3.197)^{2} \times 0.29 = 2.96 N/M \\

The amount of spring stretch due to the hanging mass, x, is dependent on g.

Now, \ mg = kx \\g = \frac{kx}{m} \\g = \frac{2.96 \times 0.117}{0.29} = 1.19 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the new value of g = 1.19 m/s^2

You lift a bowling ball with your hand, accelerating it upward. What are the forces on the ball and on what objects are they exe
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we lift a ball with the hand the forces experienced by the ball is  

  • Force of your hand
  • Gravitational force

Resultant of these forces gives acceleration to the ball

While your hand exerts a force on the ball, the ball will also exert a force of equal magnitude but opposite in direction to the force by hand.

All these forces is exerted on the ball, hand or on the earth.
