With the aid of a diagram, calculate parts a to c:
a. the current through a 10 m long 0.4mm thick nichrome wire if it is connected to a 24 v battery. (resistivity of nichrome is 100 x 10-8 ω.m).
b. how much power is transformed and how much is dissipated in the wire?
c. if the resistance of the wire in the previous question was taken at 20°c, at what temperature would the resistance of the nichrome wire increase by 10ω?

Next a skier is pulled by a tow rope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 15 with the horizontal. the rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 0.69 m/s. the force of the rope does 800 3 of work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.4 m up the incline. (a) if the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.2 m/s how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skler moved a distance of 8.4 m up the incline? at what rate is the force of the rope doing work on the skier when the rope moves with a speed of (b) 0.69 m/s and (c) 2.2 m/s?

Two identical stars with mass m orbit around their center of mass. each orbit is circular and has radius r, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) how much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?

Two trains leave a station at the same time, train a travels at a constant speed of 16 m/s. train b starts at 8.0 m/s but accelerates constantly at 1.0 m/s squared. after 10.0 seconds, which train has the greater speed?
