(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know
and
, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
where
is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
Answer:
h = 9.57 seconds
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of Kalea, u = 13.7 m/s
At maximum height, v = 0
Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach its maximum point. It cane be calculated as :
t = 1.39 s
Let h is the height reached by the ball above its release point. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as :
Here, a = -g
h = 9.57 meters
So, the height attained by the ball above its release point is 9.57 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:
6200 J
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
The car is initially stationary. The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity. Therefore:
m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v
Solving for the truck's initial velocity:
(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)
u = 4.11 m/s
The change in kinetic energy is therefore:
ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²
ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²
ΔKE = -6200 J
6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".
