On your first day at work as an electrical technician, you are asked to determine the resistance per meter of a long piece of wire. the company you work for is poorly equipped. you find a battery, a voltmeter, and an ammeter, but no meter for directly measuring resistance (an ohmmeter). you put the leads from the voltmeter across the terminals of the battery, and the meter reads 13.0 v . you cut off a 20.0-m length of wire and connect it to the battery, with an ammeter in series with it to measure the current in the wire. the ammeter reads 7.00 a . you then cut off a 40.0-m length of wire and connect it to the battery, again with the ammeter in series to measure the current. the ammeter reads 4.40 a . even though the equipment you have available to you is limited, your boss assures you of its high quality: the ammeter has very small resistance, and the voltmeter has very large resistance.
what is the resistance of 1 meter of wire?

Aleaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 15 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.7 kg/m. initially the bucket contains 45 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 15-m level. find the work done. (use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) show how to approximate the required work by a riemann sum. (let x be the height in meters above the ground. enter xi* as xi.) lim n → ∞ n (9.8)(45−3 xi) i = 1 δx express the work as an integral. 0 dx evaluate the integral. (round your answer to the nearest integer.) j

Suppose that a mass of 2 kg is attached a spring whose spring constant is 50. the system is damped such that b = 12 . the mass is set in motion with an initial velocity of -8 m/s at a position 0 meters from equilibrium. set up and solve a differential equation that models this motion. write your solution in the form a cos ( ω t − α ) where α is a positive number. use your solution to fill in the information below: what is the amplitude of the motion? what is the value of ω ? what is the phase shift?
