Answer:

R = 20.21 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the wire, l = 200 ft

The diameter of the wire, d = 0.01 in

Radius, r = 0.005 in

200 ft = 60.96 m

0.005 in = 0.000127 m

The resistivity of copper is, $\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

So, the resistance of a wire is given by :

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}\\\\R=1.68\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{60.96 }{\pi \times (0.000127 )^2}\\\\R=20.21\ \Omega$

So, the resistance of the copper wire is 20.21 ohms.

Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved. There's quite a bit of friction on the slide. So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

The position of a particle as it moves along an y axis is given by y = (2.0cm)sin(πt/4), with t in second and y in centimeters.

irina [24]

Part a)

At t = 0 the position of the object is given as

$x = 0$

At t = 2

$x = 2 sin(\pi/2) = 2cm$

so displacement of the object is given as

$d = 2 - 0 = 2cm$

so average speed is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 cm/s$

Part b)

instantaneous speed is given by

$v = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v = 2cos(\pi t/4 ) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

now at t= 0

$v = \frac{\pi}{2} cm/s$

at t = 1

$v = 2 cos(\pi/4) * \frac{\pi}{4}$

$v = \frac{\pi}{2\sqrt2}$

at t = 2

$v = 0$

Part c)

Average acceleration is given as

$a_{avg} = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a_{avg} = \frac{0 - \frac{\pi}{2}}{2}$

$a = -\frac{\pi}{4} cm/s^2$

Part d)

Now for instantaneous acceleration

As we know that

$a =- \omega^2 y$

at t = 0

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16} * 0 = 0 cm/s^2$

at t = 1

$y = \sqrt2 cm$

now we have

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*\sqrt2$

At t = 2 we have

$y = 2 cm$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{16}*2$

$a = -\frac{\pi^2}{8}$

<em>so above is the instantaneous accelerations</em>
