The second wire has 1/2 the <u>radius</u> of the first wire.  

Now the area of a circle is (A =π r²) ... the area changes in proportion to the SQUARE of the circle's radius.

So if you cut both wires exactly perpendicular to their lengths, and look at the circular end where the cut is, the second wire has only 1/4 the cross-section AREA of the first wire.  Current in the second wire is trying to squeeze through a pipe that only has 1/4 the space to carry it.

The resistance of a piece of wire-2 is 4 times the resistance of a piece of wire-1 with the same length.

The resistance of wire-2 is (4 x 0.5 ohm) = <em>2 ohms</em> .

6. A student travels 4.0 m east, 8.0 m south, 4.0 m west, and finally 8.0 m north. What is her
Helen [10]

The student's path traces out a rectangle and she ends up at the same spot, so her <u>displacement</u> is 0 m.

On the other hand, she travels a <u>total distance</u> equal to the perimeter of that rectangle,

4.0 m + 8.0 m + 4.0 m + 8.0 m = 24 m

Anybody help me? my H.W. Q 14-17 thank you, please show work​
Kipish [7]

14. Reactants:

Magnesium Chloride: Mg Cl_2, since magnesium (Mg) has 2 valence electrons while chlorine (Cl) has 1 vacancy, so they are in ratio 1:2

Sodium oxide: Na_2 O, since sodium (Na) has 1 valence electron while oxygen (O) has 2 vacancies, so they are in ratio 2:1

15. Products:

Magnesium oxide: Mg O, since magnesium (Mg) has 2 valence electrons and oxygen (O) has 2 vacancies, so they are in ratio 1:1

Sodium chloride: NaCl, since sodium (Na) has 1 valence electron and chlorine (Cl) has 1 vacancy, so they are in ratio 1:1

16: Balanced reaction:

Mg Cl_2 + Na_2 O \rightarrow Mg O+2NaCl

we see that on the reactant side we have: 1 atom of Mg, 2 atoms of Cl, 2 atoms of Na and 1 atom of O. By putting a 2 in front of NaCl, we have exactly the same on the product side: 1 atom of Mg, 2 atoms of Cl, 2 atoms of Na and 1 atom of O.

17. It is a double-replacement reaction

A double-replacement reaction occurs when two ionic compounds exchange their ions. In this specific case, we see that the Chlorine (initially bond with the magnesium) is then bond with the sodium, while the oxygen (initially bond with the sodium) after the reaction is bond with the magnesium.
