3. A circular section of copper cable has a resistance of 0.50. What will be the resistance of a copper cable of the same length but of twice its diameter?

Amoving electron has kinetic energy k1. after a net amount of work w has been done on it, the electron is moving one-quarter as fast in the opposite direction. (a) find w in terms of k1. (b) does your answer depend on the final direction of the electron's motion?

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.

A15,000 kg rocket traveling at +230 m/s turns on its engines. over a 6.0 s period it burns 1,000 kg of fuel. an observer on the ground measures the velocity of the expelled gases to be −1,200 m/s.
