Ametal wire of resistance 2.30 10-8 is cut into two equal pieces that are then connected side by side to form a new wire the length of which is equal to one-half the original length. what is the resistance of this new wire?

Ablock of mass 1.5 kg slides down an inclined plane that has an angle of 15. if the inclined plane has no friction and the block starts at a height of 3 m, how much kinetic energy does the block have when it reaches the bottom? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. a. 6.8 j b. 50.9 j c. 0 j d. 44.1 j

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)

Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. the ring has radius a and positive charge qdistributed evenly along its circumference. a)what is the direction of the electric field at any point on the z axis? . b)what is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis? use k in your answer, where k=14πϵ0. d)the ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=d and z=−d in simple harmonic motion. what will be the angular frequency ω of these oscillations? use the approximation d≪a to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that d2+a2≈a2. express your answer in terms of given charges, dimensions, and constants
