Physics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the gravitational attraction of the planet on the atmospheric gases above the surface and is a function of the mass of the planet, the radius of the surface, and the amount and composition of the gases and their vertical distribution in the atmosphere

Two wires A and B with circular cross sections are made of the same metal and have equal lengths, but the resistance of wire A i
AlexFokin [52]

The resistance of wire B will be D. 1/2R

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

It should be noted that resistance simply means the measure of the opposition to the current flow that's in an electric circuit.

Based on the information given, the resistance will be calculated thus:

= 2L/4A

= 1/2pL/A

= R/2

Therefore, the resistance of wire B will be D. 1/2R

An aeroplane accelerates from rest to 65 m/s for take-off. It travels for
Virty [35]

Answer:

1.76m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 65m/s

Distance traveled  = 1200m

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

This is linear velocity and we apply the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem.

      V²  = U² + 2as

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

V is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

             65²  =  0² + 2 x a x 1200

             4225 = 2400a

                  a  = 1.76m/s²

An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the m
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A) continue to move to the right, with its speed increasing with time.

Explanation:

As long as force is positive , even when it is decreasing , it will create positive increase in velocity . Hence the body will keep moving with increasing velocity towards the right . The moment the force becomes zero on continuously decreasing , the increase in velocity stops and the body will be moving with the last velocity uniformly towards right . When the force acting on it becomes negative , even then the body will keep on going to the right till negative force makes its velocity zero . D uring this period , the body will keep moving towards right with decreasing velocity .

Hence in the present case A , is the right choice.
