I think its true, I think.
Since the track is friction less, block’s kinetic energy at the bottom of the track is equal to its potential energy at the top of the track.
PE = 81 * 9.8 * 3.8 = 3016.44 J
Work = 1/2 * 1888 * d^2
PE = Kinetic energy at the base.
1/2 * 1888 * d^2 = 3016.44
d = 1.78 approx 1.8
F = Ke = 1888 * 1.8 = 3398.4N
Answer:
a. Both wires have the same resistivity
Explanation:
For the resistance of a wire , following formula holds good .
R = ρ l / S , R is resistance , l is length , S is cross sectional area and ρ is resistivity of the material that the wire is made of. Resistance is dependent on length and cross sectional area but resistivity does not depend upon length or cross sectional area . It only depends upon the type of material.
If we replace copper wire with aluminium wire , then resistivity will change .
Hence , since the wire remains made of copper , resistivity will not change.
