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

An air-track glider undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with an identical glider that is initially at rest. what fraction
DiKsa [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The initial KE (kinetic energy) of the system is
KE₁ = (1/2)mu²

After an inelastic collision, the two masses stick together.
Conservation of momentum requires that
m*u = 2m*v
Therefore
v = u/2

The final KE is
KE₂ = (1/2)(2m)v²
       = m(u/2)²
       = (1/4)mu²
      = (1/2) KE₁

The loss in KE is
KE₁ - KE₂ = (1/2) KE₁.

Conservation of energy requires that the loss in KE be accounted for as thermal energy.

Answer:  1/2

Explain how and why energy is important to living things. Your answer to this question will become the claim for your scientific
Leto [7]

Answer:

All living organisms need energy to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical processes that enables organisms transform the chemical energy stored in molecules into energy that can be used for cellular processes.

A ball traveling with an initial momentum of 5.1 kgm/s bounces off a wall and comes back in the opposite direction with a moment
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

-9.4 kg m/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum = final momentum − initial momentum

Δp = p − p₀

Δp = -4.3 kg m/s − 5.1 kg m/s

Δp = -9.4 kg m/s

Impulse = change in momentum

J = Δp

J = -9.4 kg m/s

A conducting sphere has a net charge of -4.8x10-17 C. What is the approximate number of excess electrons on the sphere?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The number is  N  = 300

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  net charge is  Q =  -4.8 *10^{-17 } \  C

Generally the charge on a electron is e = - 1.60 *10^{-19 } \ C

Generally the number of excess electrons is mathematically represented as

      N  =  \frac{Q}{e}

=>  N  =  \frac{-4.8 *10^{-17}}{-1.60 *10^{-19}}

=>  N  = 300

How could you increase gravitational force using each factor?
jeka94
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.
