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

If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uniform massive rope is μs, what fraction of the rope can hang over
inna [2205]
Here's the procedure explained: Assume F represents the portion of the rope that is extending over the table. In this scenario, the frictional force that holds the rope on the table can be calculated using the formula: Ff = u*(1-f)*m*g. Additionally, it is important to determine the gravitational force that attempts to pull the rope off the table, Fg, calculated through: Fg = f*m*g. You then need to set these two equations equal to each other and resolve for f: f*m*g = u*(1-f)*m*g leads to f = u*(1-f) = u - uf. Simplifying gives f + uf = u, which results in f = u/(1+u) representing the fraction of the rope. This will lead you to the final answer.

The resulting motion can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, as the two components (north and east) are at right angles. To find the direction, trigonometry is applied, yielding Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

A car covers 72 kilometers in the first hour of its journey. In the next hour, it covers 90 kilometers. What is the amount of wo
Softa [2029]
The work done can be calculated using the equation:

Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

The kinetic energy is derived using the following formula: KE = (1/2)*m*v^2
Thus, the change in kinetic energy is calculated as (1/2)*m*(Vf)^2 - (1/2)*m*(Vo)^2

Where:

Vf represents the final speed = 90 kph = 25 m/s
Vo denotes the initial speed = 72 kph = 20 m/s

By substituting in the given values:

Work = (1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be represented as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

The correct choice among the options is A.
