Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance for a metal can be calculated by

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ indicates the resistivity of aluminum, L is the resistance's length, and A indicates the cross-sectional area

We use this formula for both configurations

For small face measurements (W x W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

         R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

For larger face measurements (D x L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

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

From this, we find the relation to be

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L

ValentinkaMS [3465]
We will utilize Wien's displacement law, given by the equation λ T = b, where λ represents the wavelength of emitted light from a heated object at maximum. By substituting the provided temperature and constant b into the equation, we find λ for various temperatures: at 500 K, λ = 5.796 μm or 5796 nm; at 1050 K, λ = 2760 nm; at 1800 K, λ = 1610 nm; and at 2500 K, λ = 1159.2 nm. The visible light spectrum starts at 740 nm, suggesting that at 2500 K, some visible red light may emerge as its calculated peak wavelength is within the visible range.

Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

C) True. The distance S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀), illustrating that v₁> v₂ for the same t.

Explanation:

We have a set of statements to evaluate for correctness. The most effective approach is to examine the problem in detail.

Using the equation for vertical launch, we acknowledge that the positive direction signifies downward movement.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Stone 2

Released shortly thereafter, let's assume a delay of one second, we can utilize the same timing mechanism

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

We can now calculate the separation distance between the two stones, which is applicable for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t² - 2 t t₀ + t₀²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t - t₀)

This represents the distance between the two stones over time, with the coefficient outside the parentheses being constant.

For t < to, the first stone remains stationary while the distance grows.

For t > = to, the expression (2t/to-1) yields a value greater than 1, indicating that the distance expands as time progresses.

We can now analyze the different statements

A) false. The height difference increases over time.

B) False S increases.

C) It is true that S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) indicating v₁> v₂ at the same t.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
Keith_Richards [3271]

Response:

The intensity of light 18 feet underwater is about 0.02%

Clarification:

Employing Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality factor, I represents the intensity of incident light, and t indicates the thickness of the medium

Then dI / I = kdt

Taking logarithms,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

At t=0, I=I(0) implies C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

At t=3 & I=0.25I(0), we find 0.25=e^3k

Solving for k gives k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

The intensity of light 18 feet underwater is about 0.2%

serg [3582]

Answer: 592.37m

Explanation:

Person D is represented by the blue line.

The total displacement is calculated by subtracting the initial position from the final position. Starting at (0,0), the path consists of moving down two blocks, then right six blocks, followed by moving up four blocks, and finally left one block.

Here, I consider the positive direction of the x-axis to the right and the positive direction of the y-axis as upward.

Thus, the new coordinates will be, with B representing a block:

P =(6*B - 1*B, -2*B + 4*B) = (5*B, 2*B)

Given that B = 110m

P = (550m, 220m)

The displacement corresponds to the length of the vector, since the change from the initial position (0,0) to P is simply P:

P = √(550^2 + 220^2) = 592.37m
