2 Ten identical lengths of wire are laid closely side-by- side. Their combined width is measured and found
to be 14.2 mm. Calculate:
a the radius of a single wire
b the volume in mm' of a single wire if its length is
10.0 cm. (Volume of a cylinder = ferih, where r =
radius and h = height.

(a) 0.71 mm

(b) 0.158 cubic cm

Explanation:

The width of one wire is the diameter of the wire.

(a) Let the diameter of each wire is d.

So, 10 d = 14.2 mm

d = 1.42 mm

radius of each wire, r = d/2 = 1.42/2 = 0.71 mm

(b) Length, L = 10 cm

The volume of the single wire is given by

the answer is b i think

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
