- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardA man throws a ball into the air with a velocity of 96 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the height of the ball will be 48 feet. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
- Find the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forwardThe amount of alcohol in a person's blood is known as blood alcohol concentration (BAC), measured in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. A BAC of 0.08, meaning 0.08%, indicates that a person has 8 parts alcohol per 10,000 parts blood. It is illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08 or higher. Use the formula 600n w (0.6n +169) where w is the weight of a 110-pound person and n is the number of drinks per hour, and use a scientific calculator to compute the BAC for integers from n=1 to n-10. How many drinks can the 110-pound person consume in an hour without exceeding the legal measure of drunk driving?arrow_forward
