Which of these statements is true?

A wire of Nichrome (a nickelâ€“ chromiumâ€“ iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.0 m long and 1.0 mmÂ² in cross-se

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The conductivity of Nichrome is $2\times 10^6\ S/m$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Potential difference (V) = 2.0 V

Current flowing (I) = 4.0 A

Length of wire (L) = 1.0 m

Area of cross section of wire (A) = 1.0 mm² = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m² [1 mm² = 10⁻⁶ m²]

We know, from Ohm's law, that the ratio of voltage and current is always a constant and equal to the resistance of the resistor. Therefore, the resistance of the nichrome wire is given as:

$R=\frac{V}{A}=\frac{2.0}{4.0}=0.5\ \Omega$

Now, resistance of the nichrome wire in terms of its resistivity, length and area of cross section is given as:

$R=\rho\frac{L}{A}$

Where, $\rho\to resistivity\ of\ Nichrome$

Now, plug in all the values given and solve for $\rho$ . This gives,

$0.5\ \Omega=\rho\frac{1.0\ m}{1\times 10^{-6}\ m^2}\\\\\rho=\frac{0.5\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{1.0}=0.5\times 10^{-6}\ \Omega-m$

Now, conductivity of a material is the reciprocal of its resistivity. Therefore, the conductivity of Nichrome is given as:

$\sigma=\frac{1}{\rho}=\frac{1}{0.5\times 10^{-6}}=2\times 10^6\ S/m$

Conductivity is measured in Siemens per meter (S/m)

Therefore, the conductivity of Nichrome is $2\times 10^6\ S/m$ .

Please help me! I don't understand how to do this!

From the information in the question, the acceleration of the cart is 2.55 ms-2.

We can find the acceleration using the following information from the question;

u = 0.9 m/s

v = 6 m/s

a = 2.0 seconds

But;

a = v - u/t

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

a = 6 - 0.9/2 = 2.55 ms-2

Force= ma

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 6 kg × 2.55 ms-2

F = 15.3 N

Electromagnetic radiation is more common than you think. Radio and TV stations emit radio waves when they broadcast their progra

meriva

Answer:

1) i. All these technologies use radio waves, including high-frequency microwaves.

ii. Microwave ovens emit in the same frequency band as some wireless Internet devices.

2. B. The earth absorbs visible light and emits radiation with a longer wavelength.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are generated when there is an interference between electric and magnetic fields traveling at right angles to each other. All electromagnetic waves forms a spectrum with respect to their frequency and wavelength. The higher the wavelength, the lower the frequency.

All these waves move with the same and constant speed, but are generated from different sources. From the given applications, X-ray has a high frequency, but low wavelength.

In the second case, infrared waves have longer wavelength than visible light.
