The wiring in a house must be thick enough so it doesn't become so hot as to start a fire. What diameter must a copper wire be if it is to carry a maximum current of 32 A and produce no more than 1.6 W of heat per meter of length?

20. threshold braking in the vehicle's braking system occurs when a. the brake pedal is pushed, heel on floorboard, with full foot pressure. b. the brakes are exerting full braking power, without traction loss. c. the driver begins pushing down the brake pedal, with moderate slowdown. d. the brakes just begin to take hold with a gradual slowdown.

The graph represents the distance a car travels over time while on the highway. which statement about the car's trip is accurate? a) the car does not move over time. b) the car travels at a constant velocity. c) the car's velocity increases constantly over time. d) the car's velocity decreases constantly over time.

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
