That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

<u>Experiment A:</u>

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
<span><em>Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster </em>
<em>when it had more surface area.</em></span>
============================================
============================================

<u>Experiment B:</u>

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the <em>first section </em>of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section.  Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
<em>Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air </em>
<em>blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.</em>
==========================================

How are electrical signals transmitted over long distances?
forsale [732]

Answer:

Over such small distances, digital data may be transmitted as direct, two-level electrical signals over simple copper conductors. This results from the electrical distortion of signals traveling through long conductors, and from noise added to the signal as it propagates through a transmission medium.

Two cylindrical resistors are made from the same material. The shorter one has length L, diameter D, and resistance R1. The long
nordsb [41]

Answer:

the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.

Explanation:

Given that :

For the shorter cylindrical resistor

Length = L

Diameter = D

Resistance = R1

For the longer cylindrical resistor

Length = 8L

Diameter = 4D

Resistance = R2

So;

We all know that the resistance of a given material can be determined by using the formula :

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{A}

where;

A = πr²

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}

For the shorter cylindrical resistor ; we have:

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}

since 2 r = D

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}

R = \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D   ^2}

For the longer cylindrical resistor ; we have:

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}

since 2 r = D

R = \dfrac{ \rho (8 ) L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}

R = \dfrac{32\rho L }{\pi \ (4 D)   ^2}

R = \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D)   ^2}

Sp;we can equate the shorter cylindrical resistor to the longer cylindrical resistor as shown below :

\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D   ^2}}{ \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D)   ^2}}

\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} ={ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D   ^2}}* { \dfrac  {\pi \ (D)   ^2} {2\rho L}}

\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} =2

{R_s}=2{R_L}

Thus; the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.
