The correct option is (C)  The longer wire has 3 times the resistance of the shorter wire.

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.

Why do circuits need resistance?

Using ohms (Ω) as the unit, resistance acts as a gauge to quantify how easily current will flow through a circuit. When resistance falls, current rises, and when resistance rises, current falls. In order to make sure that current flows in circuits at the proper rate, resistors are crucial.

How can resistance be determined in a circuit?

By applying Ohm's Law, you can get the total resistance if you know the total current and voltage through the entire circuit: R = V / I. A parallel circuit, for instance, has a voltage of 9 volts and a combined current of 3 amps. Total resistance (RT) is equal to 9 volts / 3 amps, or 3.

I understand that the question you are looking for is "Consider two copper wires of equal cross-sectional area. One wire has 3 times the length of the other. How do the resistances of these two wires compare?

A) Both wires have the same resistance.

B) The longer wire has 1/3 the resistance of the shorter wire.

C) The longer wire has 3 times the resistance of the shorter wire.

D) The longer wire has 9 times times the resistance of the shorter wire.

E) The longer wire has 27 times times the resistance of the shorter wire."

a cylindrical jar is 10cm long and has a cross sectional area of 36cm. if it is completely filled with a fluid of relative densi
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The mass of the fluid is 72 g.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 cm

Area of cross section (A) = 36cm²

Relative density = 0.2

Mass =..?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Volume = Area x Height

Volume = 36 x 10

Volume = 360 cm³

Next, we shall determine the density of the liquid.

This can be obtained as follow:

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

Relative density = 0.2

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid =...?

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

0.2 = density of fluid / 1 g/cm³

Cross multiply

Density of fluid = 0.2 x 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Finally, we shall determine the mass of fluid as follow:

Volume = 360 cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Mass of fluid =...?

Density = mass /volume.

0.2 g/cm³ = mass of fluid /360 cm³

Cross multiply

Mass of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³ x 360 cm³

Mass of fluid = 72 g

Therefore, the mass of the fluid in the jar is 72 g.

Brut [27]

Answer:

<u>4 m/s²</u>

Explanation:

<u>Formula</u>

  • Weight = Mass x Gravity due to acceleration

<u>Solving</u> :

  • 400 N = 100 kg x g
  • g = 400/100
  • g = <u>4 m/s²</u>
