Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L = length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

Calculate the period (T) of uniform circular motion if the velocity is 40.0 m/s and centripetal acceleration is 20.0 m/s2.

kirill [66]

T is the time for a whole round.

centripetal acceleration = V^2/R,

20 = 40^2 / R, find R = 40^2/20 = 40*40/20 = 80 m, right?

Now, one round is L = 2*pi*R = 2*pi*80 = 160*pi

And T = L/v (distance/speed) = 160*pi/40 = 4*pi seconds, or ~ 12.57 s

A regulation basketball has a 15 cm diameter and may be appropriated as a thin spherical shell.

REY [17]

Solution :

From the given data,

For the spherical shell is $\frac{k^2}{R^2}= \frac{2}{3}$

where x is the radius of gyration and the acceleration of a rolling body on an inclined plane = a

Therefore,

$a =\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+ \frac{k^2}{R^2}}$

$= \frac{g \sin \theta}{1 +\frac{2}{3}}$

$= \frac{3}{5} g \sin \theta$

= 0.6 x 9.81 x sin ( 29.7)

$= 2.913 \ m/s^2$

$h = \frac{1}{2} a(\Delta t)^2$

$\Delta t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{a}}$

$\Delta t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 2.9}{2.913}}$

Δt = 1.411 s

The heat flux that is applied to one face of a plane wall is q″ = 20 W/m2. The opposite face is exposed to air at temperature 30

Blababa [14]

Answer:

400 W/m^2 and 31℃

Explanation:

The output heat flux q"= 20 W/m^2 (geven)

The output heat flux from.the wall to the air by convection

q"conv = h(ts - t∞)

q"conv = 20(50-30) = 400 W/m^2

Therefor, this case is unsteady and the wall temperature changes with time till the energy balance exist.

ENERGY BALANCE

The input energy must be equal to the output energy for steady state condition. If not the state will be unstaidy or transient.

2. Its noticed that the output heat flux is not that the I put heat flux, therefore the wall tempers will be decreased till the output heat flux is reduced to the value of the given input heat flux

T steady = T∞ +q"/h

= 30 + 20/20 = 31℃
