17 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What

is the ratio of the diameter of a single copper wire to d, if its length is also l and it has the same resistance?

Answer:

\frac{D}{d} = 4.12

Explanation:

As we know that resistance of one copper wire is given as

r = \rho \frac{L}{a}

here we know that

a = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2

now we have

r = \rho \frac{L}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4})}

r = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi d^2}

now we know that such 17 resistors are connected in parallel so we have

R = \frac{r}{17}

R = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}

Now if a single copper wire has same resistance then its diameter is D and it is given as

R = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2}

now from above two equations we have

\rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2} = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}

D^2 = 17 d^2

now we have

\frac{D}{d} = 4.12

Paul’s 10 kg baby sister Susan sits on a mat. Paul pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30° above the floo
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The speed of Susan is 2.37 m/s

Explanation:

To visualize better this problem, we need to draw a free body diagram.

the work is defined as:

W=F*d*cos(\theta)

here we have the work done by Paul and the friction force, so:

W_p=F_p*d*cos(0)\\F_p=30N*cos(30^o)=26N\\W_p=26*3*(1)=78J

W_f=F_f*d*cos(180)\\F_f=\µ*(10*9.8-30N*sin(30^o))=16.6N\\W_p=16.6*3*(-1)=50J

Now the change of energy is:

W_p-W_f=\frac{1}{2}m*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(78J-50J)}{10kg}}\\v=2.37m/s

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) speed of passenger = circumference / time

= 2π R / Time

= 2 x 3.14 x 50 / 60

= 5.23 m /s

b )

centrifugal force = m v² /R

= (882 /9.8 ) x 5.23² / 50

= 77.47 N

Apparent weight at the highest point

real weight  - centrifugal force

= 882 - 77.47

= 804.53 N

Apparent weight at the lowest point

real weight  + centrifugal force

= 882 +77.47

= 959.47 N

c )  if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero

centrifugal force = weight

mv² /R = mg

v² = gR

= 9.8 X 50

v = 22.13 m /s

d )

apparent weight

mg - mv² / R

= 882 - (882 / 9.8 )x 22.13²/50

= 882 +  882

= 1764 N  

=
