gravitational potential energy is given by formula

$U = mgh$

here we need to compare the gravitational potential energy of stone 2 with respect to stone 1

so we will say

$\frac{U_2}{U_1} = \frac{m_2gh}{m_1gh}$

$\frac{U_2}{U_1} =\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

given that

$m_2 = 4 m_1$

now we have

$\frac{U_2}{U_1} = 4$

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of solid core wire=r=2.28 mm= $2.28\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of each strand of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm= $0.456\times 10^{-3} m$

Current density of each wire= $J=3750 A/m^2$

a.Area = $\pi r^2$

Where $\pi=3.14$

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core = $3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2$

Current density = $J=\frac{I}{A}$

Using the formula

$3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}$

$I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A$

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire= $A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2$

$J'=\frac{I'}{A'}$

$3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2$

$I'=0.047 A$

b.Resistivity of copper wire= $\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m$

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R= $\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire= $R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of strand wire= $R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. at one point the water is flowing at a speed of v1

kati45 [8]

<span>The formulas are, v1d1Â˛ = v2d2Â˛ ........ (1) h = (v2Â˛-v1Â˛)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1Â˛ = v2 (0.805d1)Â˛ cancelled both side d1Â˛ then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)Â˛ v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2Â˛-v1Â˛)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/sÂ˛ h = {(2.64)Â˛ - (1.71)Â˛)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

A car experiences a centripetal acceleration of 4.4 m/s ^2 as ur rounds a corner with a speed of 15 m/s. What is the radius of t

damaskus [11]

The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,

a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.

Answer: 51.14 m
