Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wire 1:

length = 2L

Area = 2 A

Wire 2: length = L

Area = A

As we know that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

Let ρ be the resistivity of the cooper wire.

Resistance of wire 1

R1 = ρ x 2L / 2 A = ρ L / A

Resistance of wire 2:

R2 = ρ x L /  A = ρ L / A

As R1 = R2

It means both the wires have same resistance.

The sun's properties (luminosity, size, and temperature) have not changed much over the last 4.6 billion years. what do you thin
Vikentia [17]

The answer is; The sun will turn into a red giant


This occurs as the hydrogen fuel in the fusion core of the sun begins to deplete. When the hydrogen fuel is depleted, the star begins to collapse on itself due to gravity. This pressure causes the heavier helium to begin fusing in the area around the core.  The stars begin to heat up again producing enough energy to push out the outer shells of the star. This causes the star to expand. The outer shells become less hot hence the decrease in luminosity of red giants.

If a girl is running along a straight road with a uniform velocity 1.5m/s find her acceleration ​
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Dear user,

Answer to your query is provided below

Acceleration is zero because of no change in velocity.

Explanation:

Remember that velocity is a vector quantity and a vector can change in 3 ways

•Magnitude only

•Direction only

•Both magnitude and direction.

Now the magnitude of velocity (speed) can stay constant while the direction is changing. This is the case in circular motion.

In the question above, it is mentioned that the girl is moving along a straight road. Therefore no change in direction of velocity.

A titanium bicycle frame displaces 0.314 l of water and has a mass of 1.41 kg.part what is the density of the titanium in g/cm3
nlexa [21]

Answer;

= 4.49 g/cm³

Explanation;

Density = Mass / Volume  

mass = 1.41 kg,

volume = 0.314 L

but; 1 kg = 1000 g   and 1 L = 1000 mL

Thus;

Density = 1.41 kg/0.314L  

Density = 4.49 kg/L (1000g/ 1kg)(1L/1000cm^3)  

Density = 4.49 g/cm^3

H2O consists of polar molecules. CO2 consists of nonpolar molecules. How do chemists explain this difference?
Vadim26 [7]
C. Oxygen has a different attraction for electrons in H2O than in CO2

the covalent bond between Hydrogen-Oxygen and Carbon-Oxygen is different because the difference of electronegativity (the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself) between Hydrogen and Oxygen is a lot higher than the difference of electronegativity between Carbon and Oxygen. This difference in electronegativity results in separation of partial electric charge creating polar bonds and giving the molecule a polarity.
