Explanation:

The initial resistance of the wire is given by:

[tex]R=\frac{\rho L}{A}[/tex]

where

[tex]\rho[/tex] is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

Since the resistance is proportional to the length of the wire, when the wire is cut in half, each wire will have half of the initial resistance:

[tex]R' = \frac{\rho \frac{L}{2}}{A}=\frac{R}{2}[/tex]

Later, these two pieces of wire are connected in parallel to the battery (because the right ends of both wires are attached to one terminal, while the left ends are attached to the other terminal, so they are connected in parallel). Therefore, their total resistance will be:

[tex]\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R/2}+\frac{1}{R/2}=\frac{2}{R}+\frac{2}{R}=\frac{4}{R}\\R_T = \frac{R}{4}[/tex]

so the total resistance of the circuit will be 1/4 of the initial resistance.

The initial current in the circuit was given by Ohm's law:

[tex]I=\frac{V}{R}[/tex]

Since the voltage V has not changed, the new resistance will be

[tex]I' = \frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{V}{R/4}=4 \frac{V}{R}=4I[/tex]

so, the current will increase by a factor 4.

When the length of the wire is halved and connected in parallel, then the current increases four times the initial current.

Ohm's law states that when there is no physical change in the conductor, the potential difference is directly proportional to the current flowing in it.

V = RI

V be the potential difference

I be the current.

R be the resistance of the circuit.

A resistor is made out of a wire having a length of L.

When the ends of the wire are attached across the terminals of an ideal battery having a constant voltage V₀ across its terminals, a current I flows through the wire.

We know that the resistance is given by

[tex]\rm R = \dfrac{\rho L}{A}[/tex]

where L is the length, A is the area, and ρ is the resistivity of the conductor.

If the wire were cut in half, making two wires of length L/2, and both wires were attached across the terminals of the battery. Then we have

[tex]\rm R '= \dfrac{\rho \frac{L}{2}}{A} = \dfrac{R}{2}[/tex]

These two wires are in parallel. Then we have

[tex]\rm \dfrac{1}{R_{eq}} = \dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_1}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}} = \dfrac{1}{\frac{R}{2}}+\dfrac{1}{\frac{R}{2}}\\\\\\R_{eq } \ = \dfrac{R}{4}[/tex]

Then the current will be given by Ohm's law

[tex]\rm I' = \dfrac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\\\I' = \dfrac{V}{\frac{R}{4}} \\\\\\I' = 4 \dfrac{V}{R} \\\\\\ I ' = 4 \ I[/tex]

(a) [tex]\frac{4}{3}v[/tex]

Let's write the law of conservation of momentum for the collision:

[tex]m_A u_A + m_B u_B = m_A v_A + m_B v_B[/tex] (1)

where u refers to the initial velocities and v refers to the velocity after the collision.

The problem gives us the following information:

- car B is one-half as massive as car A, so we can write:

[tex]m_A = 2m\\m_B = m[/tex]

- car B is initiall stationary:

[tex]u_B=0[/tex]

- After the collision, car A moves in the same direction as before with a speed v/3:

[tex]u_A = v\\v_A = \frac{1}{3}u_A=\frac{1}{3}v[/tex]

So we can rewrite (1) as

[tex](2m) v = (2m) \frac{v}{3}+mv_B[/tex]

and solving for [tex]v_B[/tex], we find the final speed of car B:

[tex]v_B = \frac{6v-2v}{3}=\frac{4}{3}v[/tex]

(b) Elastic

To find if the collision is elastic or inelastic, we have to check if the total kinetic energy has been conserved or not.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

[tex]K_i = \frac{1}{2}m_A u_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2m)(v)^2=mv^2[/tex]

The total kinetic energy after the collision is:

[tex]K_f = \frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2=\frac{1}{2}(2m)(\frac{v}{3})^2+\frac{1}{2}m(\frac{4}{3}v)^2=\frac{1}{9}mv^2+\frac{8}{9}mv^2=mv^2[/tex]

The total kinetic energy has been conserved: so, the collision is elastic.

Applying the law of conservation of momentum to the collision leads to finding the second car's final speed as 4v/3. This is an inelastic collision, as kinetic energy is not conserved.

The scenario presented involves the concept of momentum conservation. The total momentum before the collision equals the total momentum after the collision. Before the collision, the stationary car, having a mass equal to half of the moving car and no velocity, has zero momentum. The moving car has initial momentum equal to its mass (m) times its velocity (v).

After the collision, the first car's final momentum is m*(v/3), and the second car's final momentum is its mass (m/2) times its unknown final velocity (v2). By setting the total initial momentum equal to the total final momentum, we find v2 = 4v/3.

To answer the second part, this is an inelastic collision, because in this type of collision, energy is not conserved even though momentum is conserved. The first car loses speed, meaning it loses kinetic energy, which is not fully gained by the second car.

Answer:

the answer is 15

Explanation:

i got it right

To calculate the pressure at the entrance end of the pipe, we can apply Bernoulli's principle and the equation of continuity. First, we can find the speed of the liquid at the exit end of the pipe using the equation of continuity. Then, we can use Bernoulli's equation to calculate the pressure at the entrance end of the pipe. The pressure at the entrance end of the pipe is approximately 1.08 × 10^5 Pa.

To calculate the pressure at the entrance end of the pipe, we can apply Bernoulli's principle, which states that the total energy of a fluid flowing in a pipe is constant. Bernoulli's equation is given by:

P1 + (1/2)ρv1^2 + ρgh1 = P2 + (1/2)ρv2^2 + ρgh2

In this equation, P1 and P2 are the pressures at the entrance and exit ends of the pipe, ρ is the density of the liquid, v1 and v2 are the speeds of the liquid at the entrance and exit ends, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h1 and h2 are the heights of the liquid at the entrance and exit ends, respectively.

Using the given values, we can calculate:

First, we need to calculate v2 using the equation of continuity, which states that the mass flow rate is constant:

A1v1 = A2v2

Using the diameters of the pipe at the entrance and exit ends, we can find the areas:

Substituting the given values, we can solve for v2:

A1v1 = A2v2

[(π/4)(0.26^2)](1.06) = [(π/4)(0.05^2)]v2

v2 = [(π/4)(0.26^2)](1.06) / [(π/4)(0.05^2)]

v2 ≈ 22.22 m/s

Now that we have v2, we can substitute all the values into Bernoulli's equation and solve for P1:

P1 + (1/2)ρv1^2 + ρgh1 = P2 + (1/2)ρv2^2 + ρgh2

Substituting the given values:

P1 + (1/2)(1136)(1.06^2) + (1136)(9.8)(0) = (1.2 × 101325) + (1/2)(1136)(22.22^2) + (1136)(9.8)(4.25)

Solving for P1:

P1 ≈ 1.08 × 10^5 Pa

Therefore, the pressure at the entrance end of the pipe is approximately 1.08 × 10^5 Pa.

Answer:

E) 1500 N

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this: energy equations or kinematics.

First I'll use energy equations.

All of Santa's energy is converted to work by friction.

Initial energy = final energy + work

PE = W

mgh = Fd

(120 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (9 m + 2 m) = F (9 m)

F = 1437 N

Using kinematics, the velocity Santa reaches when he reaches the chimney is:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (9 m - 11 m)

v = -6.26 m/s

Then he starts decelerating down the chimney.  Finding the acceleration:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(0 m/s)² = (-6.26 m/s)² + 2 a (0 m - 9 m)

a = 2.18 m/s²

Sum of the forces acting on Santa:

∑F = ma

F - W = ma

F = W + ma

F = mg + ma

F = m (g + a)

F = (120 kg) (9.8 m/s² + 2.18 m/s²)

F = 1437 N

Rounded to 2 sig-figs, that's 1400 N, which isn't one of the choices.  But if we use 10 m/s² for g instead of 9.8 m/s², we get F = 1467 N, which rounds to 1500 N.

Before Thomson's discovery, atoms were believed according to the "Dalton's atomic theory" to be the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. This makes atoms the smallest unit of a matter.

Thomson in 1897, used the discharge tube to discover cathode rays which are today called electrons.

The discovery of electrons provided more light into the structure and nature of atoms. Atoms were now being seen in a different light as particles that are made up of other smaller sized particles.

Thomson through his experiment was able determine perfectly well the nature of the rays he saw emanating from the cathode. One of his findings shows that the rays are negatively charged and are repelled by negative charges.

The discovery of electrons further led to more works on the atom and other particles were discovered. Atoms were no longer seen as indivisible or the smallest particles of matter.

Refraction consists in the bending of light or the change in its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index [tex]n[/tex] different from the other medium.  

Being its equation as follows:

[tex]n=\frac{c}{v}[/tex]

Where  [tex]c[/tex] is  the speed of light in vacuum and [tex]v[/tex] its speed in the other medium.

Now, writing this equation with the known values, we will have Z's index of refraction:

[tex]n=\frac{3(10)^{8} m/s}{2.5(10)^{8} m/s}[/tex]

[tex]n=1.2[/tex]

The index of refraction of material Z is calculated to be approximately 1.2 using the given speeds of light in a vacuum and in material Z.

To determine the index of refraction of material Z, we can use the formula for the index of refraction, n:

[tex]n = c / v[/tex]

Where:

We substitute the given values into the formula:

[tex]n = 3.00\times 10^8 m/s / 2.5\times 10^8 m/s[/tex]

By performing the division:

[tex]n = 1.2[/tex]

Therefore, the index of refraction of material Z is approximately 1.2.

There are 4 forces acting on the crate:

- The horizontal force F, pushing the crate to the right

- The frictional force [tex]F_f[/tex], acting in the opposite direction (to the left)

- The weight of the crate, [tex]W=mg[/tex], acting downward (with m being the mass of the crate and g the acceleration due to gravity)

- The normal reaction of the floor agains the crate, N, acting upward, and of same magnitude of the weight

The crate is in equilibrium (it is not moving), this means that the forces along the horizontal direction and along the vertical direction are balanced, so:

[tex]F=F_f\\N=W[/tex]

B) 490 N

In order to make the crate start sliding along the floow, the horizontal push must overcome the maximum force of static friction, which is given by

[tex]F_f = \mu_s N[/tex]

where

[tex]\mu_s=0.56[/tex] is the coefficient of static friction

N is the normal reaction

The normal reaction is equal to the weight of the crate, so

[tex]N=W=875 N[/tex]

and so, the maximum force of static friction is

[tex]F_f = (0.56)(875 N)=490 N[/tex]

The magnitude of the minimum force you need to exert on the crate to make it start sliding along the floor is 490 N.

The given parameters;

The normal force on the crate is calculated as follows;

Fₙ = W = 875 N

The static frictional force on the crate at rest;

[tex]F_s = \mu_s F_n\\\\F_s = 0.56 \times 875 \\\\F_s = 490 \ N[/tex]

Before the crate will move this static frictional force must be overcome.

Thus, the magnitude of the minimum force you need to exert on the crate to make it start sliding along the floor is 490 N.

Answer:

They are found in wet and dry areas

Explanation:

not all house fires can be prevented.

GFCI outlets are found in wet areas and prevent electrocution if you touch a wet appliance. They work by comparing the currents in the wires and interrupt the circuit if a leakage current is detected. They do not specifically prevent house fires and can be found in dry areas, but are especially needed in wet areas.

The true statements about a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet are: B. GFCI outlets are found in wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, and C. GFCI outlets prevent electrocution if you are touching a wet appliance. A GFCI outlet compares the current in the live/hot and the neutral wires, triggering an interrupt if any leakage current is detected, such as when a person is accidentally creating a path for the current by touching a wet appliance.

This prevents electrical shock. Statement A is not entirely accurate because GFCI outlets are more about preventing electric shock than house fires. Statement D is misleading as GFCI outlets can be found anywhere but are specifically important in wet areas where the risk of accidental grounding through a person is higher.

The perpendicular distance between the applied force and the center of rotation is referred to as the Lever Arm or Torque Arm.

Explanation:

To find the x- and y- components, we have to apply the formulas:

[tex]v_x = v cos \theta[/tex]

[tex]v_y = v sin \theta[/tex]

where

v = 12.0 m/s is the magnitude of the vector

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the vector and the positive x-axis

Here, the angle given is the angle above the negative x-axis; this means that the angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

[tex]\theta=180^{\circ} - 60^{\circ} = 120^{\circ}[/tex]

So, the two components are:

[tex]v_x = (12.0 m/s) cos 120^{\circ}=-6.0 m/s[/tex]

[tex]v_y = (12.0 m/s) sin 120^{\circ}=10.4 m/s[/tex]

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity. The x component of the velocity will be -6.0 m/sec. while the velocity in the y-direction will be 10.4 m/sec.

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.

velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component. Velocity at any angle is resolved to get its component of x and y-direction.

[tex]V_x = V {cos\theta}[/tex]

[tex]V_y = V {sin\theta}[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] = angle measured from the positive x-axis

In the above conditions, the angle is given from the - ve x-axis is 60 degrees. If it is measured from the + ve x-axis it will be 180- 60= 120 degrees.

Given velocity v = 12.0 m/sec

[tex]V_x = 12{cos20}[/tex] = -6.0 m/sec

[tex]V_y = 12 {sin120}[/tex] = 10.4 m/sec

Answer:

A = g (λ / 2π)² μ / Ts

Explanation:

The ant becomes "weightless" when its acceleration is equal to gravity.  The motion of the ant is a sinusoidal wave:

y = A sin(ωt)

By taking the derivative twice, we can find the acceleration of the ant:

y' = Aω cos(ωt)

y" = -Aω² sin(ωt)

The maximum acceleration occurs when sine is 1.  We want this to happen at a = -g.

-g = -Aω² (1)

A = g / ω²

Angular frequency is 2π times the normal frequency:

ω = 2πf

A = g / (2πf)²

Frequency is velocity divided by wavelength:

f = v / λ

A = g / (2πv / λ)²

A = g (λ / 2π)² / v²

Velocity of a wave in a string with tension Ts and linear density μ is:

v = √(Ts / μ)

Therefore:

v² = Ts / μ

Plugging in:

A = g (λ / 2π)² / (Ts / μ)

A = g (λ / 2π)² μ / Ts

The minimum wave amplitude in terms of Ts, μ, λ, and g is;

A = λ²gμ/(4π²Ts)

        Since we are told that the large ant stands on a rope that is stretched, then the position motion of the ant would be represented by a sinusoidal wave:

y = A sin(ωt)

         We are told that the ant becomes weightless when its acceleration is equal to gravity. Let us find the acceleration which is the second derivative of the position equation to get;

y' = Aω cos(ωt)

y" = -Aω² sin(ωt)

Acceleration; a = -Aω² sin(ωt)

          Now, the maximum acceleration will occur when sin(ωt) = 1 .  This will happen when a = -g.  

Thus;

-g = -Aω²

A = g/ω²

         Formula for angular frequency in terms of velocity and wavelength is;

ω = 2πv/ λ

Thus;

A = g/(2πv/λ)²

A = λ²g/(2λπ)²v²

        Now, the formula for velocity of the wave in terms of tension Ts and linear density μ is:

v = √(Ts/μ)

Thus;

v² = Ts/μ

Thus;

A = λ²g/((2π)²(Ts/μ))

A = λ²gμ/(4π²Ts)

[tex]\displaystyle P = \frac{F(\text{Normal Force})}{A} = \frac{58860\;\text{N}}{0.40\;\text{m}^{2}} \approx 1.5\times 10^{5}\;\text{N}\cdot\text{m}^{-2} = 1.5\times 10^{5}\;\text{Pa}[/tex].

The weight of the elephant is the force exerted on the ground, which can be calculated using the equation Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity. The pressure exerted by the feet of the elephant on the ground is determined by dividing the force by the area of each foot.

When determining the pressure exerted by the feet of an elephant on the ground, we need to calculate the force using the weight of the elephant. The weight of an object is the force exerted due to gravity. We can use the equation:

Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

In this case, the mass of the elephant is 6000 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. So the force exerted by the elephant is:

Force = 6000 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 58,800 N

To find the pressure, we divide the force by the area of each foot. In this case, each foot has an area of 0.10 square meter. So the pressure exerted by the feet of the elephant on the ground is:

Pressure = Force / Area = 58,800 N / 0.10 m^2 = 588,000 Pa

Answer:

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Explanation:

In a double-slit diffraction pattern, the angular position of the nth-maximum in the diffraction patter (measured with respect to the central maximum) is given by

[tex]sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{d}[/tex]

where

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angular position

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength

d is the separation between the slits

In this problem, the separation between the slits decreases: this means that d in the formula decreases. As we see, the value of [tex]sin \theta[/tex] (and so, also [tex]\theta[/tex]) is inversely proportional to d: so, if the d decreases, then the angular separation between the fringes increases.

So, the correct answer is

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Answer:

3. +3.09 kJ

Explanation:

The change in internal energy of the gas is given by the 1st law of thermodynamics:

[tex]\Delta U=Q-W[/tex]

where

Q is the heat transferred to the gas

W is the work done by the gas

Here we have:

[tex]Q=+4.00 kJ[/tex] is the amount of heat transferred to the nitrogen

[tex]p=3.00 atm = 3.03\cdot 10^5 Pa[/tex] is the pressure of the gas

[tex]\Delta V=4.00 L-1.00 L=3.00 L = 0.003 m^3[/tex] is the change in volume of the gas

So the work done by the gas is

[tex]W=p\Delta V=(3.03\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.003 m^3)=909 J = 0.91 kJ[/tex]

So, the change in internal energy of the gas is

[tex]\Delta U=4.00 kJ-0.91 kJ=+3.09 kJ[/tex]

Answer:

5.36 times bigger

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is:

[tex]r_e = 6371 km[/tex]

so its diameter is

[tex]d_e = 2 r_2 = 12742 km[/tex]

The radius of Pluto is:

[tex]r_p = 1188 km[/tex]

So its diameter is

[tex]d_p = 2 r_p = 2376 km[/tex]

So the ratio between the two diameters is

[tex]\frac{d_e}{d_p}=\frac{12742 km}{2376 km}=5.36[/tex]

So the diameter of the Earth is 5.36 times bigger than the diameter of Pluto.

Earth's diameter is about 5.4 times larger than that of Pluto. Earth measures approximately 7,926 miles across, while Pluto has a diameter of about 1,473 miles.

The diameter of Earth is significantly larger than that of Pluto. Earth's equatorial diameter is approximately 7,926 miles (12,756 km), whereas Pluto's diameter is about 1,473 miles (2,370 km), making the Earth's diameter roughly 5.4 times larger than Pluto's.

This comparison illustrates the vast size differences between the planets in our solar system. While Jupiter's diameter is nearly 11 times that of Earth's, and Saturn's is about 9 times larger, Pluto remains one of the smallest bodies, now classified as a dwarf planet and far out into the solar system, with its distance from the Sun being over 30 astronomical blocks away.

1) [tex]1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J[/tex]

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

[tex]C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}[/tex]

where

[tex]\epsilon_0[/tex] is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the distance between the plates

Here, the radius of each plate is

[tex]r=\frac{2.0 cm}{2}=1.0 cm=0.01 m[/tex]

so the area is

[tex]A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.01 m)^2=3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2[/tex]

While the separation between the plates is

[tex]d=0.50 mm=5\cdot 10^{-4} m[/tex]

So the capacitance is

[tex]C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F[/tex]

And now we can find the energy stored,which is given by:

[tex]U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}(5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(200 V)^2=1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J[/tex]

2) 0.71 J/m^3

The magnitude of the electric field is given by

[tex]E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{200 V}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=4\cdot 10^5 V/m[/tex]

and the energy density of the electric field is given by

[tex]u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2[/tex]

and using

[tex]E=4\cdot 10^5 V/m[/tex], we find

[tex]u=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(4\cdot 10^5 V/m)^2=0.71 J/m^3[/tex]

Scientists cannot directly observe dark matter, but they know it exists by C, the way it exerts a gravitational pull on other matter. Most of the cosmic entities like galaxies do not have enough observable matter within them to logically exist, i.e. the amount of matter they have can’t hold the galaxy together.

The energy that is put into the system is conserved and transferred to the water to increase its internal energy, which causes it to boil. The electric energy is converted to heat energy which is inturn converted to kinetic energy for the water to boil and form steam.

When a pan of water is placed on an electric stove and heated, energy is transferred from the stove to the water through conduction. The electric stove uses electricity to heat up the heating element, which then transfers the heat to the bottom of the pan via conduction.

As the water in the pan heats up, the molecules in the water gain energy and begin to move faster. Eventually, the water reaches its boiling point, which is when the molecules have enough energy to break the bonds between them and turn into steam.

During this process, energy is conserved because energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. In this case, the electrical energy from the stove is converted into thermal energy, which is then transferred to the water through conduction. The energy that is transferred to the water is then used to increase the kinetic energy of the water molecules and eventually to break the bonds between the molecules to form steam.

In other words, the energy that is put into the system is conserved and transferred to the water to increase its internal energy, which causes it to boil. This process will continue until all the water in the pan has turned into steam, at which point the energy that was put into the system will be conserved in the form of the steam's increased kinetic energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight of the 4kg mass equals the force of the spring.

mg = kx

(4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = k (0.025 m)

k = 1568 N/m

If an additional 1.5 kg is added, the spring stretches to:

(4 kg + 1.5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1568 N/m) x

x = 0.034 m

x = 3.4 cm

If the 4 kg is removed, the spring stretches to:

(1.5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1568 N/m) x

x = 0.0094 m

x = 0.94 cm

The work done to stretch a spring a distance x is:

E = 1/2 k x²

E = 1/2 (1568 N/m) (0.04 m)²

E = 1.3 J
