R = 0.407Ω.

The resistance  R of a particular conductor is related to the resistivity ρ of the material by  the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the material resistivity, L is the length of the material and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the material.

To calculate the resistance R of a wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m, the length of the wire is 2.5m and its diameter is 0.50mm.

We have to use the equation R = ρL/A but first we have to calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire which is a circle. So, the area of a circle is given by A = πr², with r = d/2. The cross-sectional area of the wire is A = πd²/4.  Then:

R =[(3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m)(2.5m)]/[π(0.5x10⁻³m)²/4]

R = 8x10⁻⁸Ω.m²/1.96x10⁻⁷m²

R = 0.407Ω

The resistivity of a silver wire with a radius of 5.04 × 10–4 m is 1.59 × 10–8 ω · m. if the length of the wire is 3.00 m, what
Alexxx [7]
<span>5.98 x 10^-2 ohms. Resistance is defined as: R = rl/A where R = resistance in ohms r = resistivity (given as 1.59x10^-8) l = length of wire. A = Cross sectional area of wire. So plugging into the formula, the known values, including the area of a circle being pi*r^2, gives: R = 1.59x10^-8 * 3.00 / (pi * (5.04 x 10^-4)^2) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (pi * 2.54016 x 10 ^-7) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (7.98015 x 10^-7) R = 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms So that wire has a resistance of 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms.</span>

A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. if the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is
kvasek [131]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

         We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

         Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

         In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g m/s^2 and final velocity = 0 m/s.

        0 = u sin θ - gt

         t = u sin θ/g

    Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

    So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 m/s^2 and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

 So range of projectile,  R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}

 Vertical motion (Maximum height reached, H) :

     We have equation of motion, v^2=u^2+2as, where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and a is the acceleration.

   Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = -g, final velocity = 0 m/s at maximum height H

   0^2=(usin\theta) ^2-2gH\\ \\ H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

In the give problem we have R = 301.5 m,  θ = 25° we need to find H.

So  \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}=301.5\\ \\ \frac{u^2sin(2*25)}{g}=301.5\\ \\ u^2=393.58g

Now we have H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{393.58*g*sin^2 25}{2g}=35.15m

 So maximum height reached = 35.15 meter.

The initial velocity of a 4.0-kg box is 11 m/s, due west. After the box slides 4.0 m horizontally, its speed is 1.5 m/s. Determi
ankoles [38]

Answer:

F = - 59.375 N

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Initial velocity = 11 m/s

final velocity = 1.5 m/s

let force be F

work done =  mass* F = 4*F

we know that

Change in kinetic energy = work done

kinetic energy = = \frac{1}{2}*m*(v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2})

kinetic energy = = \frac{1}{2}*4*(1.5^{2}-11^{2}) = -237.5 kg m/s2

-237.5 = 4*F

F = - 59.375 N

Last year a baseball player made 63 errors. This year he made 42. What percent decrease was there in the number of errors commit
Crank

Answer:

33.33 %

Explanation:

given,

error last year = 63

error this year = 42

percent decrease in the error = ?

to find the percentage difference in the error formula used is

   = \dfrac{difference}{original}\times 100

   = \dfrac{63-42}{63}\times 100

   = \dfrac{21}{63}\times 100

   = 33.33 %

Percentage decrease in the number of error is equal to 33.33%.

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. he then falls onto a thick pad. the top of
scZoUnD [109]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect wind resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter falls with an initial vertical velocity of u = 0.
If the velocity upon hitting the pad is v, then
v² = 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

The pole vaulter comes to res after the pad compresses by  50 cm (or 0.5 m).
If the average acceleration (actually deceleration) is (a m/s²), then
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.5 m)
a = - 82.32/(2*0.5) = - 82 m/s²

Answer: - 82 m/s² (or a deceleration of 82 m/s²)
