The resistance in the wire is given by the resistivity of the material by the lenght and divided by the cross-sectional area (R = pL/A). From here we can rearrange and have p = RA/L. However, we ...

The temperature of a body of mass m and specific heat capacity c rises by change in temperature (delta)T when an amount of heat Q is added to it (Q = mc(delta)T). From the equation we see that th...

In quantum and particle physics, quantities such as energy and momentum are extremely small and so it is logical to have a standard unit of energies at this scale. It saves time to write 1eV, as opposed t...

First to note is how average speed, v, distance, d, and time, t, are related. This is given by v = d/t. The journey is split into two parts, but we are only asked for the total distance and average speed....

1. First, decompose the initial velocity (u) into x and y components using trigonometry. These are x= ucos(theta) and y=usin(theta)
2. Note that the x (or horizontal) component does not change bu...
