When a potential difference is applied to the piece of metal wire, a current of 4.1 mA flows through it. if this wire is replaced with a silver wire having twice the diameter of the original wire, how much current will flow through the silver wire?
Assume that the lengths of the potential difference across both wires are the same. ( the resistivity of the original metal is 1.68x10^-2 ohm . m, and the resistivity of silver is 1.6x10^-8 ohm . m )

The time of flight, t1 =
Now the basketball is thrown vertically down from the same 1.6‑m height and with the same initial speed v0 = 23 m/s. First, check your physical intuition and complete the following two statements:
If the initial velocity is directed down, the final speed of the ball (Select an answer: decreases, increases, stays the same, do not know) .
If the initial velocity is directed down, the time of the free fall (Select an answer: decreases, stays the same, increases, do not know) .
Now, with the new conditions, what will be the speed of the ball just before it hits the ground?
The speed of the ball, v2 =
How long will it take for the ball to reach the ground?

Question 2: In a steam power plant operating according to the ideal intermediate superheated Rankine cycle, water vapor enters the high pressure turbine at 8 MPa pressure and 500 oC temperature and expands to 3 MPa pressure. Then, the steam is re-heated to a temperature of 500 oC in the boiler and expands to 20 kPa condenser pressure in the low pressure turbine.
I. Show the cycle in the T-s diagram and explain for what purpose intermediate superheating is done.
II. Calculate the total turbine work.
III. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
