Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.

A steel tank of weight 600 lb is to be accelerated straight upward at a rate of 1.5 ft/sec2. Knowing the magnitude of the force
VikaD [51]

Answer:

a) the values of the angle α is 45.5°

b) the required magnitude of the vertical force, F is 41 lb

Explanation:

Applying the free equilibrium equation along x-direction

from the diagram

we say

∑Fₓ = 0

Pcosα - 425cos30° = 0

525cosα - 368.06 = 0

cosα = 368.06/525

cosα = 0.701

α = cos⁻¹ (0.701)

α = 45.5°

Also Applying the force equation of motion along y-direction

∑Fₓ = ma

Psinα + F + 425sin30° - 600 = (600/32.2)(1.5)

525sin45.5° + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

374.46 + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

F - 13.04 = 27.95

F = 27.95 + 13.04

F = 40.99 ≈ 41 lb

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n
Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz

ASK YOUR TEACHER A 2.0-kg mass swings at the end of a light string with the length of 3.0 m. Its speed at the lowest point on it
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

  K_b = 78 J

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Lowest of the trajectory

        Em₀ = K = ½ mv²

final point. When it is at tea = 50º

        Em_f = K + U

        Em_f = ½ m v_b² + m g h

where h is the height from the lowest point

        h = L - L cos 50

        Em_f = ½ m v_b² + mg L (1 - cos50)

energy be conserve

        Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ mv² = ½ m v_b² + mg L (1 - cos50)

         K_b = ½ m v_b² + mg L (1 - cos50)

let's calculate

          K_b = ½ 2.0 6.0² + 2.0 9.8 6.0 (1 - cos50)

          K_b = 36 +42.0

          K_b = 78 J
