hese two wires compare? A) Both wires have the same resistance. B) The shorter wire has twice the resistance of the longer wire. The longer wire has twice the resistance of the shorter wire. D) The longer wire has four times the resistance of the shorter wire. E) The shorter wire has four times the resistance of the longer wire.

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.

In the compound MgS, the sulfide ion has 1. lost one electrons. 2. lost two electrons. 3. gained one electron. 4. gained two ele

never [62]

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency $\zeta$ = 3%

where;

$\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}$

$Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW$

$Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW$

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

$LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}$

Also;

$\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K$

$\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K$

$LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}$

$LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}$

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

$Q_H = UA (LMTD)$

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

$66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\ A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\ \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}$

The mass flow rate:

$Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} ) \\ \\ 66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{ 66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}$

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

s = 23.72 m

v = 21.56 m/s²

Explanation:

given

time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

we know that

a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.2²

s = 23.72 m

b) impact velocity

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2× 9.8 × 23.72)

v = √464.912

v = 21.56 m/s²

When the starter motor on a car is engaged, there is a 310 A current in the wires between the battery and the motor. Suppose the

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Diameter will be 351.42 mm

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the copper wire i = 310 A

Voltage drop across the wire V = 0.55 volt

We know that resistance is given by $R=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{0.55}{310}=0.00177\Omega$

Length of the copper wire l = 1 m

Resisitivity of the copper wire $\rho =1.72\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that resistance $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

$0.00177=\frac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 1}{A}$

$A=969.4545\times 10^{-8}m^2$

As area $A=\pi r^2$

$3.14\times r^2=969.4545\times 10^{-8}$

$r=17.57\times 10^{-4}m$

So diameter $d=17.57\times 10^{-4}\times 2=35.142\times \times 10^{-4}m$ = 351.42 mm
