Answer:
Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds
Explanation:
The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).
To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:
The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):
Answer:
R = 6.67 Ohm's
Explanation:
Resistance is a property of a material that measures the opposition to the flow of current through the material. It is measured in Ohm's.
R = (ρl) ÷ A
where; R is the resistance of the material, A is its cross sectional area, l is its length and ρ is its resistivity.
For the first nichrome wire, resistance is 5 Ohm's.
i.e R = (ρl) ÷ A = 5 Ohm's
For the second nichrome wire, length = 4l, and area of cross section = 3A. The resistance of the second wire can be determined by;
R = (4ρl) ÷ 3A
= {(ρl) ÷ A}
= × 5
R = 6.67 Ohm's
Resistance of the second nichrome wire is 6.67 Ohm's.
