Answer:
<h2>
d₂ = 3d</h2><h2>
The diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire.</h2>
Explanation:
Using the formula for calculating the resistivity of an object to find the diameter.
Resistivity P = RA/L
R is the resistance of the material
A is the cross sectional area
L is the length of the material
Since A = πd²/4
P = R( πd²/4)/L
P = Rπd²/4L ... 1
If the second wire of the same material and length is found to have resistance R/9, the resistivity of the second material will be;
P₂ = (R/9)A₂/L₂
P₂ = (R/9)(πd₂²/4)/L₂
P₂ = (Rπd₂²/36)/L₂
P₂ = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂
Since the length and resistivity are the same;
P = P₂ and L =L₂
Equating 1 and 2;
Rπd²/4L = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂
Rπd²/4L = (Rπd₂²)/36L
d² = d₂²/9
d₂² = 9d²
Taking the square root of both sides;
√d₂² = √9d²
d₂ = 3d
Therefore the diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire

Answer:
6200 J
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
The car is initially stationary. The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity. Therefore:
m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v
Solving for the truck's initial velocity:
(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)
u = 4.11 m/s
The change in kinetic energy is therefore:
ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²
ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²
ΔKE = -6200 J
6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".
