- 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_forwardEstimate the age of a newly discovered fossil for which the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 is R=1/1014.arrow_forwardHeart Disease In a certain country, the number of deaths due to heart disease decreased from 235 in one year to 221 in the next year. What percentage decrease in deaths due to heart disease does this represent?arrow_forward

- The rate of change of an autocatalytic chemical reaction is kQxkx2 where Q is the amount of the original substance, x is the amount of substance formed, and k is a constant of proportionality. Factor the expression.arrow_forwardA piece shown by the shaded portion is to be cut from a square plate 128 millimeters on a side. a. Compute the area of the piece to be cut. Round the answer to the nearest square millimeter. b. After cutting the piece, determine the percentage of the plate that will be wasted.arrow_forward2.) The measure of the electrical resistance of a wire is proportional to the measure of its length and inversely proportional to the square of the measure of its diameter. Suppose that the resistance of a wire of given length is computed from a measurement of the diameter with a possible 2 percent error. Find the possible percent error in the computed value of the resistance.arrow_forward
- The volume V of an ideal gas varies directly with the temperature T and inversely with the pressure P. A cylinder contains oxygen at a temperature of 310 degrees K and a pressure of 18 atmospheres in a volume of 120 liters. Find the pressure if the volume is decreased to 95 liters and the temperature is increased to 330 degrees K. I am struggling with this problem and have been for ages... please help.arrow_forwardUse the following for the next 2 questions: A company needs to construct a 500,000 square foot warehouse facility to support its growing business. Annual facility maintenance costs are $8 per linear foot of building. Product is received, stored and shipped on pallets. The company estimates that it costs $0.10/foot to transport the pallets to and from storage and that 20,000 pallets of product will be shipped from the facility each year. 1. If the dock is located in the corner of the facility, what is the optimal length and width of the facility? - 504 x 992 feet - 560 x 893 feet - 620 x 806 feet - 379 x 1,319 feet - 460 x 1,087 feet - 410 x 1,220 feet - 789 x 634 feet 2. If the dock is located in the corner of the facility, what is the minimum total material handling and warehouse perimeter costs? - $802,117 - $675,881 - $842,891 - $1,023,969 - $984,062 - $763,703 - $923,719arrow_forwardThe terminal velocity of a skydiver is reached typically about 10-12 seconds into a dive. The square of the terminal velocity of a skydiver (v) is directly proportional to the skydiver's weight (w) and inversely proportional to the skydiver's ground-facing surface area (A). Write an equation that models this situation. Use k for the constant of proportionality. Suppose Christy weighs 60 kilograms and has an approximate downward-facing area of 0.18 square meters. Last week, Christy went skydiving and the terminal velocity was measured as 241 kilometers per hour. If another person goes skydiving under similar conditons and they weigh 82 kilograms with a ground-facing surface area of 0.33 square meters, what would be their terminal velocity? kilometers per hour {Give at least 3 decimal place accuracy}arrow_forward
