thin wires have high resistance whereas thick wires have low resistance why???
can anyone say answer of this ^_^​

Answers

Answer:

The resistance of a thin wire is greater than the resistance of a thick wire because a thin wire has fewer electrons to carry the current. The relationship between resistance and the area of the cross section of a wire is inversely proportional .

what give negative acceleration ?

Answers

Answer:

But negative acceleration means that the rate of change of velocity is negative or velocity decreases. Example: (1) When we apply brakes in a moving car, then negative acceleration acts on it and the car stops. (2) When we throw a ball upwards, then also negative acceleration acts on it.

How does mercury differ from other metals?(1 point)

It does not conduct electricity.
It is not lustrous.
It is not solid under normal conditions.
It does not chemically react with other elements.

Answers

Answer:

It is not solid under normal conditions

Mercury differs from other metals as It is not solid under normal conditions. It is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, therefore the correct answer is option C

What is the matter?

Anything which has mass and occupies spaces is known as matter, mainly there are four states of matter solid liquid gases, and plasma.

These different states of matter have different characteristics according to which they vary their volume and shape.

Because it is not solid under normal circumstances, mercury is different from other metals. Because it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature,

Why does a ship float on water when it weighs about 100tones and why a stone of less than a kg sinks

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Let me answer this in a simple way, since the density of stone is greater than that of water, the stone sinks as the weight of the stone is greater than the weight of water displaced by it. But the ship is designed in such a way that the relative density of the ship always becomes less than that of water. Therefore, the weight of the water displaced becomes equal to the total weight of the ship and thus it floats.

There are many other ways to explain this but this should give you the general idea.

A car travels 100 km to the east. If the first half of the distance is driven at 50 km/h and the second half at 100 km/h, what is the average velocity

Answers

First half:

50 km at 50 km/hr ... 1 hour

Second half:

50 km at 100 km/hr ... 1/2 hour

Total distance = 100 km

Total time = 1.5 hours

Average speed = (100 km) / (1.5 hrs)

Average speed = 66 and 2/3 km/hr

Average velocity = 66 and 2/3 km/hr East

The average velocity of the car would be 66.67 Kilometers / hours.

What is Velocity?

The total displacement covered by any object per unit of time is known as velocity. It depends on the magnitude as well as the direction of the moving object.

As given in the problem a car travels 100 km to the east. If the first half of the distance is driven at 50 km/h and the second half at 100 km/h,

The average velocity of the car = Total displacement / total time

                                                     =100 / 1.5

                                                     =66.67 Kilometers / hours

Thus, the average velocity of the car would be 66.67 Kilometers / hours.

Luis rushes 40m toward his truck. He notices he forgot his shoes and returns back to his house. His total travel time is 60s.

What is Luis’s average speed over the 60s?
What is Luis average velocity over the 60s?

Answers

1. The average speed of Luis over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s

2. The average velocity of Luis over the 60 s is zero.  

1. The average speed can be calculated with the following equation:

[tex] S = \frac{d}{t} [/tex]

Where:

d: is the total distance traveled

t: is the total time = 60 s

The total distance can be calculated by the sum of the distance traveled to the truck (40 m) and the distance traveled to his home (the same 40 m), as follows:

[tex] d = 40 m + 40 m = 80 m [/tex]

So, the average speed is:

[tex] S = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{80 m}{60 s} = 1.33 m/s [/tex]

Hence, Luis's average speed over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s.

 

2. Now, the average velocity is a vector given by:

[tex]v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x_{f}[/tex]: is the final distance traveled (the way to his home) = 40 m

[tex]x_{i}[/tex]: is the initial distance traveled (the way to his truck) = 40 m

Δt: is the total time = t = 60 s

Given that Luis in his journey, returns to the same starting point (his house), the total displacement is zero, and so the average velocity is also zero:                              

[tex]v = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t} = \frac{40 m - 40 m}{60 s} = 0[/tex]

Therefore, Luis's average velocity over the 60 s is zero.

A 2.0kg object is dropped from a height of 30m.
After it drops for 2.0 seconds, what is its kinetic
energy and what is its potential energy?
(Assume no air resistance.)

Answers

Answer:

1) The kinetic energy of the object after it drops for 2.0 seconds is approximately 384.9 Joules

2) The potential energy of the object after it drops for 2.0 seconds is approximately 204 J

Explanation:

1) The given mass of the object, m = 2.0 kg

The height from which the object is dropped, h = 30 m

The kinetic energy of the object after it drops for 2.0 seconds = Required

Kinetic energy, K.E. = (1/2)·m·v²

Where;

v = The velocity of the object

The kinematic equation for finding the velocity of the object is presented as follows;

v = u + g·t

Where;

u = The initial velocity of the object = 0

g = The acceleration due to gravity of the object ≈ 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion of the object = 2.0 seconds

∴ The velocity after 2 seconds, v ≈ 0 + 9.81 m/s² × 2 s = 19.62 m/s

The kinetic energy, K.E. after 2 seconds as the object drops is given as follows;

[tex]K.E._{(after \ two \ seconds)}[/tex] = (1/2) × 2.0 kg × (19.62 m/s)² = 384.9444 J ≈ 384.9 J

2) The total energy, M.E. of the object at the top, h = 30 m, u = 0, is given as follows;

The total mechanical energy, M.E. = P.E. + K.E.

M.E. = m·g·h + (1/2)·m·u²

∴ M.E. = 2.0 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 30 m + 0 = 588.6 J

M.E. = 588.6 J

Given that the total mechanical energy, M.E., is constant, we have;

At 2.0 seconds, M.E. = 588.6 J , K.E. ≈ 384.9 J, P.E. = M.E. - K.E.

∴ P.E. = 588.9 J - 384.9 J ≈ 204 J

The potential energy after it drops 2.0 seconds, P.E. ≈ 204 J

A rocket travels vertically at a speed of 1200 km/h. The rocket is tracked through a telescope by an observer located 16km from the launching pad. Find the rate at which the angle between the telescope and the ground is increasing 3 min after lift-off. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth rad/hr

Answers

Answer:

w = 0.01 t⁻²   rad/h

Explanation:

Let's use trigonometry to find the elevation angle of the telescope, we assume that the rocket remains fixed in the telescope.

        tan θ = CO / CA

the adjacent leg is CA = 16 km = 16 10³ m

Let's use kinematics to find the height of the rocket

          v = y / t

          y = v t

this height is equal to the opposite leg

          CO = v t

     

we substitute

         tan θ = vt / 16

         tan θ = 1200/16 t

         tan θ = 75 t

         θ = tan⁻¹ ( 75 t )

speed is defined by

          w = dθ/dt

          w = [tex]\frac{1}{1 + (75 t)^2} \ 75[/tex]  

         

as time increases we can neglect the 1 of the denominator

          w = 1/75 t²

          w = 0.0133 t⁻²

Using three significant figures

           w = 0.01 t⁻²   rad/h

for this answer the time must be given in hours
