Resistance increases with the length of the wire

Marta_Voda [28]

If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)

An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that $\theta_2=90-43=47$ .

Using Snell's Law we can write:

$n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)$

$\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2)$ ,

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

$\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)$

$\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13$ . Calling $\alpha$ the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that $\alpha=90-77.13=12.97$

In a football game, a 90 kg receiver leaps straight up in the air to catch the 0.42 kg ball the quarterback threw to him at a vi

irinina [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$

Where,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Initial velocity of each object

$v_f$ = Final Velocity

Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become

$m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$

$(0.42)(21) = (90+0.42)v_f$

$v_f = 0.0975m/s$

Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s
